Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
In the year 2021, money-lending networks, decentralized exchanges, and liquidity protocols, both based on smart contracts, became a hot topic in the cryptocurrency community. Many of these ventures saw wild swings in both the amount of liquidity locked into their protocols and the price of their digital tokens.
Let's take a look on a very promising project on Binance Smart Chain:
I. What is Xpool?
X-pool is an open source decentralized protocol - built on top of the Binance Smart Chain platform that allows users to borrow assets from the platform, deploy their assets, and make profits with ease.
Like other decentralized lending systems on a similar protocol as Ethereum, borrowers must post collateral before they can borrow. A special feature of Xpool is built on the Binance Smart Chain platform, which can reduce costs to the lowest level for users. Further, they can only borrow up to the value of the collateral they post.
Users deposit funds they wish to lend, which are then collected into a pool. Borrowers may then draw from those pools when they take out a loan.
To facilitate this activity, Xpool issues two types of tokens: xTokens, issued to lenders so they can collect interest on deposits, and XPOOL tokens, which are the native token of Xpool.
The XPOOL cryptocurrency offers holders several advantages. For instance, XPOOL borrowers donât get charged a fee if they take out loans denominated in the token. Also, borrowers who use XPOOL as collateral get a discount on fees. Borrowers who post XPOOL as collateral can also borrow slightly more.
II. Details of Xpool Testnet airdrop campaign
- Total XPO reward: Up to 2,100,000 XPO (This fund is used for all of Listing/Airdrop campaigns, this Xpool alpha testnet is one of those). Depending on the amount and price of XPO token, the amount of XPO released for each Airdrop will be decided at the end of campaign).
- Airdrop time: March 31st, 2021 to 10:30 PM (GMT+8) on April 04th
