Master Ventures Incubation ARM MV FUEL announces incubation of Relite Finance

The Master Ventures FUEL team is set to add another high potential project to its incubator: Relite Finance! And we’re even more thrilled to announce that Relite Finance will be launching on our Ignition platform.

Relite Finance is a cross-chain lending platform, powered by Polkadot, that will enable users to lend and borrow with their native cryptos in one protocol.

Relite Finance wants to enable financial inclusivity by making lending and borrowing accessible to all. It’ll do so with its multi-chain protocol that allows for seamless transactions across multiple blockchains.

Token name: RELI

Supply: 182M

Hard Cap: $1.5M

Private Sale: $1M @ $0.035

Public Sale: 0.5M @ $0.045

Relite Finance solves the problems outlined below:

1. Interoperability

The blockchain landscape is highly fragmented and it’s difficult to transact value across many protocols. For mass adoption to truly take place, the industry needs to foster an open, easy-to-use, and interoperable financial system.

Relite answers that call by creating a multi-chain, interoperable future enabling users to transact from one blockchain to another with ease.

2. Sustainability

The ascension of DeFi has brought along with it unaffordable gas fees, directly contrasting one of DeFi core principles: financial access.

Moreso, as blockchain becomes more entwined with our lives, gas fees will keep rising.

But fees aren’t the only barrier to entry, it’s the high-level of collateralization users have to provide to leverage all of DeFi’s capabilities. Again, contradicting DeFi’s goal of an open and accessible system. As of today, average collateralization is 180%. This is not sustainable.

Relite addresses these issues by:

  • De-Risking the Protocol: With a one-of-a-kind Reserve Fund that serves as a safety net during a shortfall — while providing better collateralization ratios to users.
  • Adding Security: The more assets staked on the protocol, the more secure it is.
  • Offering a Variety of Pools: Both, non-fixed APY and fixed-term APY pools.
  • Polkadot: By using the high throughput, and low transaction fees, of the Polkadot chain, we enable financial access for all.
  • Supporting a variety of assets: DOT, ERC20 and even NFT collateral.

3. Simplicity

DeFi is notorious for being complicated. Sprinkle DeFi loans into the mix and you have a recipe for lost users and a UX/UI minefield. Relite believes that loans, no matter the system, should be straight-forward, accessible, and affordable.

Relite developed a truly accessible interface where users, novice or otherwise, are guided through the process and receive smart notifications based on their behavior.

Relite’s emphasis on UX/UI enables users to easily deposit assets, supply liquidity, provide collaterals, and truly unlock the next level of finance.

Relite Finance: Token Utility

One of the most interesting parts of Relite Finance is its tokenomics, the RELI token has three main functions:

  • Governance: The RELI token enables users to vote for key changes in the protocol such as feature implementations, protocol fees, and future integrations.
  • Rewards: Users are rewarded for participating in the RELI ecosystem by lending or borrowing. Users will receive special RELI government tokens daily.
  • Staking — Holders can stake RELI in the protocol’s Reserve Fund to earn additional rewards. RELI tokens will be used to add security to the platform. Users who stake their holdings receive payouts from loan margins earned in proportion to their stake.

Relite Finance will be available on Ignition soon!

We are excited to see the Relite Finance IDO be listed on PAID’s Ignition platform soon, giving PAID token holders the opportunity to get in on this very exciting and groundbreaking project backed by Master Ventures.
