Collar Protocol Deployment On Omni Overdrive: A Step-by-Step Guide to Your First Mission
We're thrilled to announce Collar Protocol’s deployment on Omni Overdrive, ushering in a new era of financial possibilities in the DeFi space. Collar Protocol has chosen Omni as the platform to deploy the first public version of their protocol due to Omni’s ability to provide natively global access to liquidity from across the entire Ethereum ecosystem.
Collar Protocol, built by a team from Harvard and Goldman Sachs, offers high LTV (Loan-to-Value) loans without liquidations. Collar aims to redefine capital efficiency and user experience in the decentralized finance ecosystem through this innovative mechanism.
Omni Network is thrilled to empower Collar Protocol with its robust omnichain development platform, enabling it to operate across rollups and tap into broad-based liquidity pools. The DApp is publicly available today!
A Deeper Dive into Collar Protocol
The Problem Collar Solves
Capital efficiency remains one of the most pressing challenges in today’s DeFi ecosystem. Collar Protocol’s offering far surpasses any existing market solution regarding capital utilisation. Clients can use the Collar Protocol to take out loans against their crypto assets. This opens a plethora of new strategies, including hedging and leveraging on assets.
So, how does Collar accomplish this feat?
Collar Protocol employs a "prepaid variable forward" technology, a financial instrument used by wealthy individuals worldwide, like Mark Cuban. Unlike traditional systems that restrict this instrument to high-net-worth individuals, Collar Protocol democratises it through DeFi, allowing anyone to benefit from the sophisticated financial mechanisms usually reserved for the wealthy.
