Behind the initiative are developers from Seashell, RNG Labs, and Loreum Labs, along with advisers and collaborators from Ampleforth, Uniswap and other projects. The group built the Seamless Protocol, a fork of Aave v3 that allows smart contracts with predetermined borrowing strategies to conduct undercollateralized borrowing on-chain.


"As an analogy, Borrowing Strategies are like single-purpose loans, such as home, auto, or school loans — the supplier knows exactly where the liquidity is being used, and the borrower is unable to use it for different purposes,” a contributor for Seamless told Cointelegraph, referring to undercollateralized borrowing options.Very excited to announce a collaborative partnership with @SeamlessFi

Undercollateralized borrowing isn"t something new in the crypto space. Protocols such as Maple Finance offer capital to institutional and qualified investors via undercollateralized products. The process, however, requires a combination of off-chain and on-chain steps, meaning the user seeking capital will have terms negotiated with Maple’s team before a loan is issued on-chain.


“Many borrowers already know the purpose of the additional liquidity they seek, so Integrated Borrowing Strategies simply connects these steps together. Because the Borrowing Strategies are on-chain in smart contracts, the Liquidity Suppliers have full visibility into how the funds are used,” the protocol explained regarding its core strategy.


General purpose loans — such as personal loans that can be used for a variety of situations — are also integrated into the protocol, but are governed by the usual DeFi lending rules that require overcollateralization.


Seamless believes its solution is a better fit for DeFi than on-chain reputation scores or on-chain identities, such as WorldCoin"s proof of personhood system. “[...] the only way to create conditions for undercollateralized borrowing would be within rails of a smart contract to smart contract system, which brings us back to the fundamentals of crypto and DeFi (trust code over humans),” a Seamless contributor said.
