Problem
Users seeking to leverage their cryptocurrency holdings for liquidity often face challenges with volatile markets and the risk of liquidation. Traditional lending platforms may lack the flexibility and control that DeFi users desire.
Solution
Quill is a decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin protocol built on the Scroll ZK-Rollup network that allows users to mint USDQ, a USD-pegged stablecoin, by collateralizing assets such as wstETH. Users lock their tokens into a Trove as collateral and borrow USDQ, maintaining exposure to the market while accessing liquidity. The protocol uses over-collateralization to ensure stability, even in volatile markets. Users can deposit USDQ to Stability Pools to earn rewards from liquidated Troves and help stabilize the system.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes DeFi users seeking to leverage their crypto assets for liquidity while maintaining market exposure, as well as those looking for stablecoin lending and borrowing opportunities on the Scroll network.
