Comment

Inspiration

The reason for starting this project was the realization that citizens and consumers play a crucial role in the adoption of CBDC. CBDC presents an opportunity to promote financial reform and inclusion, but only if deployed with purpose and care. Therefore, we developed an approach that addresses the concerns of security, accessibility, and trust. The outcome will be increased "velocity" of CBDC in local economies, ability to ensure economic stability, and increased financial inclusion.

What it does

Velocity is a CBDC lending platform, helping Central Bank and governments lend and disperse to Organizations and Individuals (primarily SMB/SME) with the driving and inclusion for businesses, citizens, and institutions alike by seamlessly connecting Consumers, SMBs and Merchants, and Crypto/CBDC Service Providers (i.e. PoS, PSPs Custody etc)

How we built it

It was built by extending an existing Token generation and management platform, Blockchain_Fuel, and integrating. XRPL Ledger wallet and capabilities.

Velocity | a CBDC lending platform

Problem statement:

To achieve velocity, CBDC must be adopted by institutions and individuals alike. However, this is hindered by a lack of public trust and understanding:

  • Individuals are concerned about security, privacy and control.
  • Institutions and others are concerned about the impact on the traditional financial system

Lending is the instrument used to inject currency into the economy, however:

  • Traditional lending system is inefficient, slow, expensive, and inaccessible to many
  • Businesses and individuals often cannot get the credit they need to grow and thrive
  • Institutional lending can exaggerate financial exclusion

Value proposition:

Velocity is a CBDC lending hub platform that solves these problems by simplifying the lending process, accelerating CBDC adoption, and fostering financial inclusion. The platform offers a variety of benefits and features, including:

  • Automated loan processing: Smart contracts automate the loan process, reducing paperwork and administrative overhead.
  • Real-time monitoring: The platform monitors loans in real time to ensure regulatory compliance and mitigate risks.

  • Distressed Small business owner: A small business owner whose business has been impacted by acts of god normally not covered by traditional institutions such as climate, pandemics and macroeconomic issues. They are looking for a system that will allow them to stay or get back on their feet.
