🚨A Critical Challenge in the World of DeFi: How do we discover fair lending rates without intermediaries? 💥📣 NEW JBBA RESEARCH ALERT 📍 Decentralised finance lending faces unique challenges in determining fair interest rates without traditional intermediaries, often leading to inefficiencies from information asymmetry and liquidity risks. 🚀 This ground-breaking research from 🇫🇷 Université Paris Dauphine - PSL introduces a Novel Framework for rate discovery in decentralised finance (#DeFi) — a critical challenge in the emerging world of on-chain lending without intermediaries. ✍🏽 The authors Charlotte Eli and Professor Hervé Alexandre propose an auction-based mechanism that determines borrowing rates by integrating borrowers’ risk profiles with market liquidity conditions, removing the need for centralised oversight. ➡️ The Framework introduces: ✅ Fair and transparent interest rate formation in DeFi lending ✅ Alignment of incentives between borrowers and lenders ✅ Efficient, market-driven rate discovery using lending pools and smart contracts ✅ Informed participation and improved credit risk assessment ✅ Potential scalability of unsecured DeFi lending 🔍 Key finding: ➡️ By encouraging financial disclosure and transparent auction dynamics, DeFi lending platforms can achieve faster convergence to true market rates and greater stability — a vital step toward credible, decentralised credit markets. 🎤 Originally presented as an Abstract at the BBA's ISC2025, London:
