About Us
Minterest is a decentralized lending/borrowing protocol built on Moonbeam. The protocol provides users with a decentralised finance platform that is fair and inclusive, offering the highest APY across existing DeFi protocols.
Core Features
The protocol is designed to generate the most powerful network effect on the market, creating the potential for the highest long-term yields in DeFi. It does so through the world's first on-chain auto-liquidation engine and incredibly effective buyback mechanism, passing on the captured value to contributing users.
The Minterest protocol has its own auto-liquidation process, with the protocol itself running the liquidation on-chain. That way, the protocol captures 100% interest rate, flash loan, and liquidation fees, which is much more effective than other DeFi protocols. Any existing DeFi protocol loses up to 40% of its value, relying on third parties to capture liquidation fees off-chain.
Minterest uses the 100% captured value to buyback the native MNT token on-market, rather than the traditional 10-15%. This way, the token's price is coupled to the Minterest protocol's performance, which is another cutting-edge component no other protocols have. This token feature alone may make Minterest the most profitable protocol in the DeFi industry.
Users receive token emissions when they supply assets into the protocol or borrow from the Minterest token market. The protocol's performance increases, and MNT tokens are increasing in value. Naturally, more users want to bring extra supply and liquidity, creating a massive Flywheel effect.
Team and advisors
The team behind Minterest is a group of crypto’s brightest talents, each committed to shared goals of fairness, transparency and the democratisation of DeFi.
It’s a team comprised of seasoned professionals with 50+ years combined experience in blockchain and digital platforms, who have generated billions in enterprise value and are complemented by world class advisors, a full-time engineering team of 16 plus specialised teams of marketing and operations personnel.
