Paystream is powered by two core components: a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Matching Engine and a set of integrated Underlying Markets.
P2P Matching Engine: Borrowers are directly matched with lenders in real-time, ensuring optimal interest rates for both parties without relying solely on pooled liquidity.
Fallback to Liquidity Pools: When a direct match isn’t available, the system utilizes external liquidity platforms like Kamino to fulfill requests instantly. This ensures continuous lending opportunities and yield for idle lender capital.
Collateralized Borrowing: Borrowers deposit collateral to borrow funds. This collateral is deployed into underlying protocol so that it earns while backing the loan, maximizing capital efficiency.
liquidation: If a borrower fails to make repayments, a proportional portion of their collateral is automatically liquidated. This ensures the protocol stays solvent and protects lenders from bad debt.
Instantaneous withdrawls: Lenders can withdraw their capital instantly at any time. Paystream enables this by combining unmatched funds, borrower collateral, and other liquidity sources to fulfill withdrawals.
Leveraged Liquidity Provisioning: Users can invest in liquidity pools with leverage ranging from 1x to 4x by borrowing additional capital through PayStream and paying interest on the borrowed funds. This LLP layer will serves as both an incentive for borrowers and a fallback mechanism for unmatched P2P funds.
