EasyFi
Crypto Overview
Overview
EasyFi is a protocol built on multiple blockchains (Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and Ethereum) that aims to provide decentralized lending and borrowing services. The EZ token is used for governance and as collateral within the protocol.
Purpose and Utility
The primary purpose of EasyFi is to facilitate lending and borrowing of digital assets through smart contracts. The protocol allows users to earn yields by providing liquidity and enables others to borrow against their crypto collateral.
Business Model
The core business model revolves around lending and borrowing services, where lenders earn interest on their deposits and borrowers pay interest on their loans. This model fundamentally involves riba (interest), which is prohibited in Islamic finance.
Platform Development and Adoption
While EasyFi has experienced development activity across multiple chains, its primary function remains focused on interest-bearing lending and borrowing services. The protocol has faced challenges, including a significant hack in April 2021 that resulted in the loss of user funds.
Token Distribution and Governance
The EZ token serves as the governance token for the protocol, allowing holders to participate in decision-making regarding protocol parameters and updates. However, the primary utility of the token is tied to a lending system that operates on interest-based principles.
