Fringe Finance

Fringe Finance, an all-new and inclusive DeFi lending platform, saw the integration of $SAND as a collateral type into its Primary Lending Platform (PLP). With Fringe’s PLP, borrowers can take out $USDC loans against their altcoins. Now $SAND holders will get access to stablecoin loans and will be able to unlock part of the value of their positions without selling their tokens.Below, we’ve prepared a short tutorial on borrowing $USDC with Sandbox tokens.<h2 id="header-0">How do $USDC Loans work?</h2>Through Fringe Finance, you can take out instant $USDC overcollateralized loans against:<ul><li>$MATIC (Polygon)</li><li>$SAND (The Sandbox Token)</li><li>$MANA (Decentraland)</li><li>$FOX (Shapeshift FOX Token)</li><li>$LINK (Chainlink)</li><li>$TOMOE (ERC-20 $TOMO) (Tomochain)</li><li>$REN (Ren Protocol)</li><li>$IOTX (IoTeX)</li><li>$BNT (Bancor)</li><li>$OGN (Origin Protocol)</li><li>$LDO (Lido Finance)</li><li>$SHIB (Shiba Inu)</li><li>$APE (Ape Coin)</li></ul>Here’s how it works:On the Primary Lending Platform, you can deposit altcoins into your personal collateral safes. Your wallet is the only key to moving the assets on your collateral safes. You, and only you, maintain full control of your assets throughout the duration of your loans. Fringe’s PLP has been doubly audited by <a href="https://github.com/HashEx/public_audits/blob/master/Fringe%20Finance/Fringe%20Finance.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">HashEx</a> and <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LS7Xmxpgs2ontY0RSvpsLwyRZ20ypK26/view" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CyberUnit</a>; thus, it has the highest standard of security in crypto. Still, we encourage users to always do their own research before dropping assets to a smart contract.Once assets have been deposited into the platform, you may take out loans against your holdings. The amount a user can borrow depends on the total value deposited in the collateral safe, the asset’s maximum borrowing capacity, and the asset’s loan-to-value ratio (LVR). $SAND current LVR in Fringe’s PLP is 43% — depositing $1000 worth of $SAND allows a user to borrow up to 430 $USDC.Outstanding loans accrue interest continually. This interest, however, does not increase proportionally as your $SAND increases in value. This means that any gains from your $SAND position are entirely yours. If your $SAND drastically depreciates, your position may become undercollateralized and subject to liquidation. In other words, the platform will be allowed to sell an equivalent amount of your deposited $SAND plus a liquidation fee to settle your loan.<h2 id="header-1">What is SAND?</h2>The <a href="https://www.sandbox.game/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sandbox</a> is a virtual Metaverse built on the Ethereum blockchain, where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experience.
