Summary

Minterest improves on current DeFi lending protocols.

  1. Using auto-liquidations Minterest captures 100% of protocol fee value, more than any other, while minimising impacts on borrowers.

  2. Protocol value is transferred via buyback mechanisms to users as Governance Rewards, incentivising users to stake MINTY and participate. Longer-term participation earns increased voting weight, leading to an increased proportion of rewards.

  3. The protocol accumulates MINTY Governance Rewards in its Strategic Reserve causing long-term on-market scarcity. This supports demand for MINTY, which is instrumental in supporting the long-term value of emission rewards.

  4. Increasing the value of emission rewards supports the attraction of further TVL, leading to greater opportunities for protocol to capture fee value which in turn increases buyback value.
