Problem
Existing decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing platforms often rely on oracles and liquidation mechanisms, creating risks for borrowers and limiting the types of assets that can be used as collateral. Borrowers face the complexity of constantly managing their positions to avoid liquidation penalties.
Solution
Timeswap is a decentralized, permissionless protocol for fixed-maturity lending and borrowing of any fungible token without liquidations. It uses a unique constant product automated market maker (AMM) model with three variables to determine interest rates and collateralization. This design allows users to create isolated lending pools for any token and customize their risk profiles by selecting appropriate interest rates and collateral factors. By removing the need for oracles and liquidations, Timeswap simplifies the borrowing process and expands access to DeFi lending for a wider range of assets.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes DeFi users seeking fixed-rate lending and borrowing opportunities, as well as individuals and institutions looking to create and participate in lending markets for a wide range of fungible tokens.

- Fixed-rate lending and borrowing for the duration of the pool.
