This uses people's self interest in favor of the longevity of the protocol, makes sure that no line of credit can endanger the entire ecosystem for the safer players
And rewards those who provide the funds for it to work!
6/10
Because we are talking of #DEFI, all the information is on chain, another big step forward from #CEFI.
So we can see how many lines of credits are close to the danger zone in real time

This acts as further incentives for people to add funds to the stability pool, which makes the system more resilient.
It acts as a signal to self profit seeking individuals to where their funds provide more value.
As free Markets are supposed to do
8/10
Having all the information available and auditable at all times, I know for a fact where my #Bitcoins are. This make #ZERO and #DEFI incredibly powerful.
It uses #BTC only as collateral and runs on @RSKsmart to me, makes it one of the best things out there for Bitcoiners
9/10 @RSKsmart is merged mined by #Bitcoin miners and all fees get paid to the #BTC miners. So #ZERO helps the main chain be more profitable to mine, this helps in making it more secure!
10/10
As someone who earns fully in #Bitcoin, being able to borrow against my assets to afford daily costs while keeping access to the future valuation of them is very useful.
It is still a new protocol so be sure to understand it and test it before jumping in

With everything that is happening with the blacklisting of tornado cash, #USDC and #USDT. With all the Risks of centralized exchanges becoming obvious after #Celsius. And with #Terra showing us what can happen with faulty designs…

I would like to explain a little about the @RSKsmart (#Rootstock) ecosystem and why I am such a big believer in it.
Firstly, it is secured by the #Bitcoin miners
Secondly, almost all the fees get paid to the #BTC miners, making the main chain stronger
3/14
The native token is backed 1:1 with #BTC, it follows its price action. And can be converted back and forth at any time.
It is accurate to state that the entire #Rootstock (@RSKsmart ) network is designed from the ground up to make #Bitcoin stronger
1/11 - The future of Bitcoin lending
ZERO is a new protocol released by @SovrynBTC , a #DEFI platform built on #Bitcoin, using the @RSKsmart side chain, which combines #Ethereum Smart contract capabilities and the #BTC miner infrastructure.
2/11
We’ve all heard what has happened in the last days with things like #Celsius imploding and other #CEFI running into problems.
They were using clients colateral to bet on the market and in the end, the users had to pay the costs.
There is a clear need for a better system.
3/11 #ZERO is entirely different, you can lock your colateral #BTC in the smart contract and issue a loan of stable coins to yourself. You act as both the borrower and lender, there is no interest on your loan and no deadlines you are forced to meet, repaying it when convenient
