Marmara Credit Loops

To the contrary belief, banks are not the sole institutions for creating money based on credit.

In many countries all over the world, like banks, individuals are able to create money through post-dated cheques or promissory notes in a peer to peer manner. They work best in real economy.

Inspired by the paper-based blockchain nature of these promissory notes and post-dated cheques’ circulation, in the same analogy, Marmara Credit Loops Project aims to digitalize those credits on the blockchain while solving the problem of nonredemption of these tools.Marmara Credit Loops (MCL) is the first and the only Decentralized Finance (DeFi) system in the World designed to run in real economy. The system rewards buyers and sellers when shopping with credit loops instead of cash. It works as an independent smart chain with a 25% mineable and 75% stakeable coin integrated with two DeFi protocols. The system uses UTXO based Turing Complete Smart Contracting system powered by Komodo Platform.

Marmara Chain is protected against 51% attacks by means of Komodo dPoW technologies which recycle the hash power of Bitcoin by backing up independent blockhains on the Bitcoin network.

Staking could only be done when users lock their coins in one of the two different funds, namely; “Activated” and “Locked in Credit Loop” (LCL) funds. When coins are locked in LCL funds, both issuer and holder(s) of credit have the chance for 3x staking. The system has a unique solution for coins locked in credit loops unlike other staking systems. Locking coins into credit loops for staking does not make them static. Instead, they can be circulated while they are locked and doing 3x staking via endorsement. The process of credit endorsement is designed to assure that transfer is only meaningful while shopping.

Credit Loops work also similar to post-dated cheques in cultures where redemption is not made before maturity date of a cheque and hence making collateralization unnecessary. The system consists of two protocols; 100% collateralization and under- or zero-collateralization. The first protocol is based on 100% collateralization. It is an interest-free system providing the negative entropy established through the mining and staking rewards on the same chain. The issuer provides the coins required for 100% collateralization until the maturity date of a credit loop. The second protocol is based on money creation with many different fiat and crypto currencies as well as assets such as gold and silver. The second protocol works by merging the trustless blockchain with communities and escrows who provide the required trust layer into system. The protocol 2 was designed to run in a multilaw structure to enable the use universally in any country and community. A third layer of blockchain fund integrated with escrows is maintained as a kind of distributed notarization system to further protect holders of credits against non-redemption.
