Clearpool

- Clearpool is a decentralized marketplace for unsecured institutional capital.

- It allows institutions to borrow funds from a decentralized network of lenders without the need for collateral.

- On Clearpool, whitelisted institutional borrowers can create and launch individual single-borrower liquidity pools.

- Lenders can earn attractive risk-adjusted rates of interest for supplying liquidity to a borrower pool.

- Anybody can be a lender, and yields are enhanced with additional CPOOL rewards, making Clearpool one of the most attractive venues for DeFi lenders.

- Institutions interested in becoming borrowers can request to be whitelisted by contacting the Clearpool team.

- Complete the form on the Borrow page on the Clearpool App.

- Based on an initial assessment conducted by the core team, successful institutions will move on to the onboarding stage.

- Borrowers will be guided through an onboarding process consisting of the following steps:

1) KYC and AML – This process is conducted by Clearpool's partner - Credora

2) Legal Agreements – Borrowers (and lenders) must agree to the Clearpool Terms & Conditions

3) MPC Wallet – A supported multi-party computation wallet (MPC) is recommended (but not required) to borrow and repay liquidity

4) Credit Risk Assessment – A credit risk score and borrower capacity will be calculated by Credora (see Credit Risk Scoring for more information)

- Following the successful completion of this process, the final step is for the borrower to stake CPOOL in order for the pool to be launched.

- Borrower stake – Borrowers stake CPOOL before the pool is launched*

- Once a borrower has completed the onboarding process and paid the Borrower Fee, the liquidity pool will be launched by the Clearpool Governor multi-sig, and will become visible on the Lend page where it can be funded by lenders (see For Lenders section for more information).

- Currently, all pools are denominated in USDC. Other assets may be proposed and added via governance in the future.
