Leveraging NFT collateralization and Aave v3 integration. With zk-based Anon Aadhaar identity proofs, we provide a decentralized lending ecosystem.
The problem EngageLoan solves
-
Access to Credit for the Unbanked and Underbanked
Problem: Many individuals, especially in developing regions, lack access to traditional financial services, including credit, due to the absence of formal identification or credit history.
Solution: By integrating zk-based (zero-knowledge) Anon Aadhaar identity proofs, your system allows users to verify their identity and access lending services without revealing personal information. This enables underbanked or unbanked individuals to access credit without the need for traditional credit checks or financial histories. -
Privacy Concerns in Identity Verification
Problem: Traditional financial systems often require extensive personal information for identity verification, which can lead to privacy concerns and risks related to data breaches.
Solution: Zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) allow users to prove their identity without revealing sensitive information. This enhances privacy and security in the lending process, as users can participate in the decentralized ecosystem without compromising their personal data. -
Capital Inefficiency in DeFi
Problem: In many DeFi platforms, users must over-collateralize their loans, locking up large amounts of capital that could otherwise be used productively. This capital inefficiency can limit the growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
Solution: Leveraging NFT collateralization allows users to unlock liquidity from their digital assets (like NFTs) while still maintaining ownership. This integration with Aave v3 enhances capital efficiency by allowing more flexible collateralization and borrowing options, potentially reducing the over-collateralization requirement. -
Lack of Trust in DeFi Lending
Problem: DeFi lending platforms often suffer from a lack of trust, as users are unsure if their collateral or loans are secure. This lack of trust can discourage participation in the ecosystem.
Solution: By integrating zk-based identity proofs and leveraging trusted platforms like Aave v3.
Challenges we ran into
Usign The graph protocol was itself a problem, along with that, the problem like dependencies conflict, as well as using anon aadhaar and setting it up for polygon amoy took a while too, frontend was easy, but the smart contract integration was a little edgier ngl.
