Inspiration

In Latin America, a region well known for its high levels of economic instability and inflation, it was always crucial to develop Web 3 Defi solutions. We noticed that the current crypto lending market doesn't offer much flexibility. There is a huge gap between the interest paid when you deposit and the interest paid when you take out a loan. And it's always under the same conditions. So we saw out to solve this issue with a true P2P lending system. Introducing financial NFTs to enable a secondary debt market. We wanted to create a solution that has fair prices and a lot more flexibility to suit everyones needs.

What it does

It's a true P2P lending platform that lets you find a tailor-made solution for your need by letting choose collateral, interest rate, duration, installments, and crypto asset of your choosing. It mints a receipt for each party ( loan or debt ) in the form of a financial NFTs. This main functionality allows you to sell your part of the agreement in secondary markets. This option opens a world of possibilities, from derivatives and structured products to users being able to opt out of their agreements at market prices (with a discount or premium). Also given that it's P2P with no intermediates this will allow for each part to get a better rate.

How we built it

Javascript, Solidity, MySQL, and Python were the primary languages and technologies used. Design Part of the team started developing the UX and the user's journey in FIGMA which we found to be an amazing tool facilitating our Front end developers' work for the future integration

** Smart Contracts** Our main coder worked in parallel with Solidity to build and test the smart contracts. It was a huge challenge but we have a top-notch dev who was able to tackle it and test it. Solidity facilitated the implementation of Fantom smart contracts.

Front-end JavaScript was utilized for front-end development. This was our major challenge given the fact it's where our team most lacked experience but all and all we are thrilled with the end result.

Back-End For the Back-end, we used MySQL served as the database management system and Python supports tasks like data processing and backend development. Amazon Web Services (AWS) was leveraged to connect the database and generate an API.

The DEFILLAMA API was integrated for real-time data updates of ERC20 token prices.

Challenges we ran into

The first challenge we faced was finding a creative solution for the lending market. It took us several days of brainstorming and discussions to reach an agreement among ourselves. Eventually, we discovered the best solution through NFTs. Once we had this breakthrough, we began diagramming the transactional flow and sketching the user interface, focusing on creating an appealing and intuitive experience.

Programming the front end became a major challenge as we aimed to deliver the best possible user experience. This phase of development proved to be the longest as we went through numerous prototypes, iterating and refining until we achieved the right one. We dedicated a significant amount of time to ensure an optimal user experience, engaging in multiple feedback loops and iterations to fine-tune the UX.

Another significant challenge we encountered was defining the business model for Debita. It proved to be the most difficult task as we strived to strike a balance between fairness to the users and the project's profitability. We wanted Debita to grow organically, which required us to forecast different scenarios, project costs, and estimate market share both in the near and distant future.

By overcoming these challenges, we have built a platform that offers a unique solution in the lending market. Our focus on creativity, user experience, and sustainable business practices has allowed us to create Debita as a reliable and profitable project, ready to evolve in the ever-changing crypto landscape.
