On the other hand, Minterest will help attract liquidity to the Polkadot parachain platform. This borrowing and lending protocol will also help promote avenues for Moonbeam community members to interact with and benefit from its protocol.
Why Moonbeam?
The choice to migrate to Moonbeam follows an in-depth and strategic appraisal of all of Minterest’s options. CEO and Founder of Minterest, Josh Rogers, spoke highly of the integration with Moonbeam. Adding that the partnership with Moonbeam is an essential update for the entire Minterest ecosystem.
Also, Moonbeam has shown great potential in being the most suitable protocol for the next phase of Minterest development. Josh further added that “[…] Moonbeam’s developer-friendly approach and ability to provide a gateway to Polkadot and all of its native assets are just some of the reasons we chose Moonbeam.”
Minterest – A User-Focused Protocol
According to DeFiPulse, the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the DeFi space is USD 105.69 billion. Therefore, Minterest is interested in servicing these billions of dollars locked up in the DeFi space.
Therefore, its activities acquire the entire value (100%) of interests and reimbursing it to users. The protocol furthermore makes use of a unique buyback feature as well as an on-chain liquidation process. Both processes automatically revert all revenue to platform contributors.
Having the Minterest protocol deployed on #Moonbeam is a big milestone for the project and a big step towards bringing a fairer and better #DeFi experience to the #crypto community. https://t.co/6jLtr2DxHp
