🔸 What is the difference between exchange lending?
Exchange lending is mainly conducted within the exchange, this new feature is for on-chain borrowing
The underlying DeFi protocol is Venus Protocol, a very established protocol with a low likelihood of a crash
🔸 What are the benefits of on-chain borrowing?
There are mainly two benefits: lower interest rates and a larger supply
For example, borrowing BNB during TGE, during the initial period, the interest rate on OKX usually spikes to 30-40%, and the interest for borrowing BNB on Bybit also increases
In contrast, the interest rates on Venus are generally between 1% to 3%, which is lower in cost, and because of the larger supply, you don't have to worry about not being able to borrow
🔸 What are the risks?
Similar to borrowing funds through exchange collateral, the biggest risk is that price volatility can lead to liquidation, so you must provide enough collateral
Be cautious, if the health factor drops below 1, it will be liquidated
The health factor calculation formula: Collateral asset value * Collateral factor / Borrowed asset value
For example:
Collateral asset: Deposit value of $1,000 in USDT, collateral factor is 70%
Borrowed asset: Borrowed out value of $500 in BNB
Health factor: $1000 * 70% / $500 = 1.4
