Maze is the world’s first decentralized, over-collateralized universal money market that allows for zero-interest lending, where lenders dedicate funds into asset pools from which borrowers can initiate loans. Maze’s core objective is to establish a money market liquidity pool for various crypto assets that can be lent without interest, with suppliers earning effective interest rates synthetically provided by the native MAZE token.
Maze’s core protocol is composed of smart contracts that manage a group of non-custodial asset pools in a trustless manner through the issuance of and investment in Perpetual Smart Bonds (PSB). The protocol automatically manages the issuance and settlement in these on-chain bond instruments (strip bonds in traditional finance parlance) to provide liquidity from the crypto market. The determination of these perpetual smart bonds’ synthetic and adaptive interest rates relies on a newly invented Liberalized Interest-rate Pricing Instrument which is the protocol’s native MAZE cryptocurrency.
Transcending Universal Basic Income (UBI), Maze Protocol programmatically allocates sustainable Monetary Basic Income (MBI) to all liquidity suppliers in perpetuity.
