The Venus protocol is governed by its native token XVS which can be mined by liquidity suppliers, protocol borrowers and stablecoin miners.

The protocol itself introduces an easy-to-use crypto-asset lending and borrowing solution to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It enables users to directly borrow against collateral at higher speed and lower transaction fees. Venus also allows users to mint the VAI stablecoin on demand by depositing at least 200% collateral onto the Venus smart contract.

The people who source liquidity through the Venus Protocol do not have to pass credit checks and can take out a loan by interacting with the Venus decentralized application (DApp). Due to the fact that it is not governed by a central authority, Venus users are not subjected to arbitrary restrictions and can always source desired liquidity by posting sufficient collateral.

The loans are then provided from a pool that is contributed by the Venus users, who can, in turn, receive an annual percentage yield (APY) for their contributions. The Venus Protocol also utilizes price feed oracles that provide accurate pricing data.
