Lendefi Community Announcement: An Outline of New Developments and Initiatives

Published

on

The Lendefi Protocol introduces secured lending to give lenders much-needed confidence in a highly volatile crypto market. 

The project offers traditional and private lenders access to higher interest rates while shielding them from crypto market fluctuations. It also provides secure lending opportunities by eliminating any counterparty risk between the lender and borrower.

Lendefi works by guaranteeing lenders a variable interest secured by the liquidity provided on the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem in top protocols such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap. On the other hand, borrowers benefit from a wide variety of supported digital assets to invest in by borrowing funds from the Protocol. 

The Alpha Version of the Lendefi Protocol is Complete!

The Lendefi Protocol is proud to announce the integration of new developments and initiatives geared toward adding value to the project.

For starters, the project has completed the development of the Alpha version of its Protocol as per the timeline provided on the Lendefi roadmap (i.e. by the end of Q1, 2021). The Alpha, a fork of Compound that integrates a custom borrowing component to facilitate undercollateralized lending, is now available on GitHub.

The project has engaged a new enterprise development team (DeepDive.Tech) to take the Lendefi Protocol from its current Alpha version to a much superior level. 

Deepdive.Tech has a strong track record of building smart, intuitive, complex blockchain solutions. They tap the latest technologies and industrial-grade practices to rapidly incorporate new ideas into their solutions, aided by their vast private legacy repository of blockchain and API solutions.

The Lendefi team will work closely with their new counterparts to deliver an Enterprise Grade solution built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The decision not to deploy this Alpha version on the BSC blockchain stems from discussions between the dev teams, a ground up build.

A resolution was made to shift from ETH due to the high gas fees charged for transactions in the network. Mounting transaction fees on Ethereum undermine the ability of DeFi projects built on the blockchain to function efficiently/economically and provide an undercollateralised lending platform to various segments of the market.

BSC offers the most developed and cost-effective DeFi infrastructure outside of the Ethereum network. The chain’s viable costs across varied transaction scales give it the edge over ETH and allow Lendefi to deliver a ‘financially democratic Protocol’ that benefits the community in the long run.

Moving forward, the new enterprise development team will help Lendefi create a more interactive development model in the form of presentations and community voting. This approach will enable the project to tap into the diverse skill sets and industry knowledge within its communities. 

DeepDive.Tech and the Lendefi management team are also working on a whitepaper (to be released soon) that outlines how the Lendefi vision is transplanted and built into the BSC ecosystem.

More On the BSC Migration & PancakeSwap Listing

The Lendefi Protocol’s governance token (LDFI) is set to move over to BSC, allowing the community to take immediate advantage of the Binance Chain DEX ecosystem. The BEP-20 governance token will first be available on PancakeSwap, where an LP has already been launched. 

The BSC Bridge, which will allow the Tokenholders to convert their ERC-20 to BEP-20 (1 for 1), is almost complete and is scheduled for launch on April 5th 2021. 

Lendefi token holders will then be able to use the web dApp to swap their ERC-20 for BEP-20, with only having to pay the transaction fee. They will also need to bridge, which entails locking the LDFI token on one chain (ETH) and then unlocking it on another (BSC).

Migration Rewards For All Token Holders

As an incentive for community members to swap their tokens, Lendefi will be running a two-tier Migration rewards program to reward both legacy and new Token Holders.

The first tier will offer a prize pool of 20,000 LDFI BEP-20, randomly given to new BEP-20 holders that purchase from PancakeSwap.

The second tier of the program seeks to thank existing token holders who migrate LDFI from ERC-20 to BEP-20. These users will receive 10% capped at 100,000 LDFI in total rewards for the program. More details on the migration bonus program will be released soon. Stay tuned!

The Rebranding Effort 

The Lendefi management team has opted to take advantage of the imminent chain migration to rebrand Lendefi into something more aligned with the BSC ecosystem. 

The team has settled on the Lendefi Lion (LL) to represent the protocol, as it embodies self-sufficiency, pride, determination, leadership, grace and power, attributes that best describe the project. The new Lendefi Lion telegram stickers are available here.

Finally, the team has launched a new website (Lendefi.Finance) in line with the rebranding effort. The website design is minimalistic, easy to use, clean and organized. It also provides all the info stored with reputable 3rd parties and is primarily designed to host the Protocol application. 

Other Developments On The Protocol

The team has chosen Gitbook, a 3rd party centralized storage repository for the decentralized protocol, as the Protocol’s Wiki. The Gitbook will hold all relevant project info, links and How To’s for the project; access will be managed by DAO, which will act as the gatekeeper to the storage in the future.  

Other developments include the development of a new Staking program that will be released in the coming weeks. This feature will allow BEP-20 Token Holders to Stake their governance tokens and enjoy a lucrative annual percentage yield (APY). 

Lendefi has revealed that it will also be migrating its existing liquidity rewards program on Uniswap to Pancakeswap. The initial monthly rewards will be set at 10,000$ worth of LDFI.

Efforts are also underway to list Lendefi on CoinMarketCap and Coingecko. These listings will now be updated with new branding and circulating/total supply API feeds to ensure complete transparency about the token supply on a real-time basis. 

What’s more, Lendefi has secured a listing at a reputable centralized global exchange and is in the listing process’s final stages. Since the protocol now supports both ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, it will have more listing opportunities!

Help Create and Share Lendefi Content

Coming into April, the project will engage various promotional channels and begin to broadcast all that the Lendefi Protocol has to offer around a range of Telegram channels and other platforms.

The crypto community can also expect more informative articles on project developments and announcements to be posted on Medium, Twitter and Telegram.   

If you are interested in creating and sharing Lendefi content, please consider joining the Ambassador’s program or contact the new marketing manager here.

NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured

Published

November 18, 2024

By

A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.

The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.

With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.

The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.

According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
