Project Details:
The GrowFi team believes their product opens the way to generate more revenue for liquidity providers, CRV token holders, and Curve DAO, and will play an important role in the Curve ecosystem.
Initial list of USD and Bitcoin market:
Stable Coin Market: DAI, USDC, USDT, Curve 3Pool, Curve YPool, Curve Compound Pool, Curve sUSD Pool
Bitcoin Market: WBTC, renBTC, Curve renBTC Pool, Curve sBTC PoolIn addition to providing leverage of the swap fee, the liquidation method works by swapping collateral assets to Curve, even if the liquidator does not have liquidity directly. This allows Curve to earn trade fees from liquidation events.
Post-Grant Plans:
VaultLoan will continue to list Curve LP tokens as they are launched. Further development efforts will be done to offer stable rate loans and flash loan functions using Curve LP tokens.
Requested Grant Size:
$50,000, all of this cost will be used for auditing contract code.
