Rari launches Lending

Rari Capital @RariCapital

⚡️FUSE IS LIVE!⚡️ Stage 1 of our safeguarded launch is now here! - Rari Capital DAO managed pools Check it out here: app.rari.capital/fuse

Rari Capital has done a guarded launch of Fuse, its foray into the lending industry. Rather one large pool, Fuse lets community members create isolated lending pools.

Each pool has its own assets, interest rate curve, oracle and more, allowing the risk parameters of each pool to be customized. The isolated pool design is similar to Curve finance and helps isolate risk of collateral collapse to the pool that collateral is in. This allows the protocol to take on higher risk, higher volatility assets like SOCKS, without risk contagion to other pools.

Today in DeFi is sponsored by Aave.

Aave is a decentralised, open-source, and non-custodial liquidity protocol for earning interest on deposits and borrowing assets. It tokenizes deposits as aTokens, which accrue interest in real time. Aave also features access to Flash Loans and Credit Delegation as uncollateralised loan options.
