Benefits & Use Cases
Benefits to the users
GhoulDao enables users to be their own banks.
- Take advantage of 0% interest leverage: You can sell your gDAI to buy more of your collateral tokens, levering your long positions. The ghoulDao Protocol does not charge interest fees, only a repayment fee at time of closing. This means that collateral token holders can maintain a levered long position in their collateral with minimal financial stress, focusing on their principle belief that their collateral’s price will increase.
- Zero-interest borrowing: Borrow stablecoins against your collateral at 0% interest.
- Borrow to “hold on for dear life” (HODL): Borrow stablecoins backed by your tokens to use the value of your tokens without exiting your long position.
- Borrow to buy other assets: Borrow against your existing wealth and buy more assets, expanding your investment portfolio. You could, for example, borrow gDAI to buy other tokens such as GHOUL to hedge your ETH exposure.
- Consolidating debt: Borrow gDAI to pay down high-interest debt, saving on interest payments. The only fees you will incur through borrowing gDAI will be a repayment fee at the end of your loan.
- No scheduled payments: You won’t need to commit to monthly payments or deadlines; you can repay your debt at any time that is convenient to you and your needs.
- Instant lines of credit: You don’t need credit checks or someone else's permission to borrow gDAI. You are your own bank.
- gDAI as collateral: Lending protocols require stablecoins to borrow tokens. You could use gDAI as stablecoin collateral in those platforms, essentially using your original tokens as collateral for debt in lending protocols.
Benefits for Projects
GhoulDAO gives projects a way for their believers to “hodl” their tokens while still being able to use their value in the form of stablecoins. We envision any crypto community being able to create, govern, and benefit from stablecoins backed by their tokens as collateral.
Through GhoulDAO, “hodlers” will be able to borrow against their tokens and receive stablecoins. This adds use cases for accepted tokens and provides upwards price pressure on the token from locking it out of circulation.
Other benefits for projects include:
- Stable pricing structures: By denominating pricing in stablecoins, projects can reduce volatility risk in revenues.
- Unique incentive benefits: Projects could provide user incentives to use stablecoins backed by their native tokens over other stablecoins. This is similar to how stores offer enhanced benefits when making in-store purchases with their store credit cards.
- Contributor payroll: Not all contributors accept project tokens, but paying in stablecoins like USDC means selling project tokens. This can create a harmful sell pressure for early projects. By using stablecoins backed by their tokens, projects can pay contributors without selling off tokens.
