I just encountered this new platform and I would like to ask what makes it different from the other existing Cryptolending platforms already available like ETHLEND and others? What are the advantages of this compared to the other existing outfits out there? I might as well check your whitepaper and website and see if I can find something there what will help me make good decisions in participating.
In their presentation on the last page they have a list of the differences to other platforms. ETHLend is not there, but some others
https://lendsbay.io/static/documents/lb_presentation_en.pdfWell I don't know much about ETHLEND but I believe lendsbay have a lot to offer and also their concept is a little bit different
I think the main difference of Lendsbay to Ethlend is in the possibility for Lendsbay users to get loans in a fiat currency which will be secured by a cryptocurrency. Ethlend deals only with crypto loaning.
I think the zero interest option is also something they are different on. I am not sure if others have the same option or not but I think having the possibility or at least having this option is a real plus.
Normally when you lend a friend some money you only ask for the original amount back, Lendsbay want to encourage this type of lending on the platform hence why they offer the zero interest option.
A lot of informal lending between family members and friends isn't documented and there is no real responsibility on the lendee to repay the money within a certain time frame, or even pay the full amount.
Lendsbay's platform will increase the trust between friends and family and provide records for both parties to make sure someone can be held liable if there is a repayment failure.
I actually haven't seen anyone else try and do this before, this is a very unique idea and I really hope it does well, I saw an article by Lendsbay on Medium that shows off the Russian version of the app, it looks really good, check it out here:
