Egoras microfinance protocol provides uncollateralized micro-credit to small entrepreneurs. To solve the high-interest rate problem, Egoras protocol introduces on-chain governance where the interest rates are determined by the people, in which no central body or company determine the interest. In other words, the users determine the interest rate. To address the dependence issue, the Egoras protocol uses an on-chain treasury system to make sure that Egoras protocol doesn’t lack the funds or liquidity for the loans and these funds are governed by the people. Finally, the Egoras protocol introduces collateral lending to address over-indebtedness in the microfinance sector. In this regard, small businesses’ assets will be converted to non-fungible tokens and they represent the collateral. These assets will be sold off when the borrower defaults in repaying the loan.
