Virtual Markets
Most users interact with the Loopscale protocol via the Loopscale App where orders are standardized for simplicity. On the Loopscale App, Lenders place limit orders and borrowers place market orders. Most parameters listed in Order Parameters are abstracted away with global presets (see Asset Parameters for any defined global values). On the Loopscale App, orders may specify:- Principal
- Collateral
- Interest Rate
- Duration
- Principal asset (e.g. USDC)
- Collateral asset (e.g. mSOL)
- Loan duration (e.g. 30 days)
Matching
The Credit Order Book employs a matching engine to pair loan offers with loan requests. If an offer and request match across loan terms, the borrower may fill the lender offer, and initialize the loan. On the Loopscale App, borrowers instead fill lender offers directly with matching collateral without creating a request. Borrower will fill the best-available order on the COB as determined by the interest rate.Execution
When a compatible lend order is matched or otherwise filled:- The lender’s capital is transferred to the borrower
- The borrower’s collateral is escrowed
- A repayment ledger is initialized to track terms and repayments
