BENQI is built on Avalanche’s highly scalable network. BENQI’s vision is to launch BENQI on the Avalanche C-Chain at BENQI to build a bridge between DeFi and institutional networks. Through BENQI, Avalanche users can obtain interest from their assets. Through over-collateralized loans, they can receive credit and also receive QI governance tokens as rewards for providing liquidity to the protocol and Pangolin.
Participate in liquidity at anytime: Provide or withdraw liquidity from the liquidity market at any time.
Collateralized loans：After depositing assets, users can receive interest by lending to other users. Assets can also be used as collateral to borrow other assets so that the interest can be offset.
Real-time transparent interest rate: View interest rates transparently in real-time according to market supply and demand of assets.
Since BENQI relies on the over-collateralization of assets to obtain loans, Price Oracles are the key infrastructure for security. Price Oracles determines the computed data of the key protocol parameters, such as loan interest rate and liquidation threshold.
Chainlink’s Oraclesprovide a safe and stable loan guarantee for Benqi
High-quality data：The data of Chainlink is sourced from the verified global trading platforms and markets. The recovery of data was carried out to ensure that relatively accurate prices and avoid manipulation when lending on Benqi.
Node security：Chainlink’s node can also operate successfully during high gas and even when there is a disruption in the parts of the infrastructure to ensure Benqi Protocol’s safety and stability.
Example of QI’s scope of governance:
Interest rate model
Increase assets
Liquidation risk parameters
Change liquidity incentive, adjust incentive measures
Improve the protocol, such as changing the smart contracts and governance processes
