What is IKARUS

The IKARUS protocol is structured like a DEX, meaning that an individual borrowing market and liquidity pool can be created for every cryptocurrency pair. LPs can fund each market by providing both assets of the associated pair, while borrowers can borrow one purchase after posting the other as collateral and vice versa.

A unique characteristic of the IKARUS borrowing protocol is that it is oracle-independent, meaning repayment and settlement of loans happen by incentives rather than requiring external price information to orchestrate this process. Naturally, it is in the users’ interest to repay their loans if the value of their pledged collateral remains above the amount owed. If this is the case and they repay, then LPs receive an interest payment, and otherwise, if users don’t compensate, LPs receive the pledged collateral. While LPs bear the downside risk of the given collateral, they receive a risk premium for this, automatically determined based on the supply and demand dynamics of the given borrowing market. The resulting risk profile of LPs is comparable to that of an option writing strategy of holding covered calls and covered puts.

In contrast to conventional crypto-loans, users of zero-liquidation loans never get liquidated, even in case of flash crashes, all while ensuring that they can reclaim their pledged collateral any time before the expiry of their loan.

MYSO protocol can also be used by DAOs, who want to offer borrowing facilities for their native token independently of oracles.
