An idea for a tool on Zircuit to facilitate loans with crowdsourced collateral.
(No code project) The problem exists that conventional institutions and options access to loans limits accessibility.
Barriers to fair and affordable credit include: Lack of credit history due to age, geography, or other factors, no access to guarantor, and no access to collateral.
LendyHands allows multiple guarantors to each stake a small amount of capital, acting as collateral for a borrower.
The guarantors earn a return when borrowers repay their loan. Lenders are protected by a smart contract that settles the collateral in the event of non-repayment.
As beginners to blockchain technology, our team had a lot of fun learning about Zircuit and DeFi applications. We have never created anything in the space and came in with very limited knowledge. Without technical expertise, we appreciated a no-code track and environment that allowed us to try to create something of interest to us that could be impactful. Thanks!
