Overview

JustLend DAO is a cutting-edge money market protocol powered by TRON, designed to create fund pools with interest rates determined by an algorithm based on the supply and demand of TRON assets. The protocol involves two main roles: suppliers and borrowers, who engage directly with the platform to earn or pay floating interest rates.

Each money market on JustLend DAO represents a specific TRON asset, including TRX, TRC20 stablecoins like USDT, and other TRC20-based tokens. The platform features an open and transparent ledger that records all transactions and historical interest rates, ensuring transparency and trust among users.

Supplier

On peer-to-peer platforms where borrowers are matched with lenders, a user's asset is directly lent to another. By contrast, JustLend DAO protocol pools all users' supplies, which drives up liquidity and strikes a better monetary balance. Suppliers can withdraw their assets anytime without having to wait for the loan to expire, allowing JustLend DAO much higher liquidity than their peer-to-peer counterparts.

Asset supplied is denoted as jToken (a TRC-20 token). Token holders can acquire corresponding jToken on JustLend DAO and follow relevant rules to obtain rewards (interest).

Borrower

If users (borrowers) wish to borrow an asset on JustLend DAO, they need to first acquire jTokens as collateral with their underlying asset, and then borrow any available asset on the platform. Unlike peer-to-peer protocols, JustLend DAO only asks borrowers to specify the borrowing asset with no other requirements such as the expiry date. Borrowing is executed in real-time, and its interest rate will be automatically adjusted based on the market's supply and demand. For example, the interest rates for borrowing TRX and TRC20-USDT may be 2% and 5% respectively. Different assets have varying interest rates, which are automatically calculated according to market supply and demand.

Core Architecture of JustLend DAO

Core Logic of JustLend DAO

  • Suppliers/borrowers deposit assets to the money markets of JustLend DAO smart contracts, and the assets supplied are the underlying assets.

  • Smart contracts distribute jToken that corresponds to underlying assets to users' accounts at the exchange rate.

  • Suppliers who supply assets to JustLend DAO money markets can enjoy interest earnings on their loans.

  • Borrowers who over-collateralize an asset can borrow from the corresponding market on JustLend DAO. Unlike P2P lending, borrowers do not have to negotiate with lenders: orders will be automatically matched by JustLend DAO smart contracts as long as the token market has sufficient liquidity.

Borrowing interest rates are determined by JustLend DAO smart contracts in real-time based on market supply and demand. Within a block, borrowers of the same token share the same borrowing interest rate.

  • Borrowing interest on JustLend DAO accrues based on the number of blocks.

  • Suppliers can redeem the underlying assets they have supplied at any time.

  • Borrowers can repay their loans at any time.

  • If the value of a borrower's collateralized assets falls below the liquidation threshold, JustLend DAO smart contracts will trigger liquidation automatically.
