Borrow FAQs
How do I become a borrower on FXYield Solutions?
Currently, only institutional borrowers with at least $10 million in net unencumbered assets can borrow from FXYield Solutions DAO pools.
The onboarding process for borrowers is as follows:
Visit https://app.fxyield.xyz/ and click 'Apply Now' to complete the New Borrower application.
Next, complete KYC/AML check via the app. When asked for the purpose of your account, please select 'Other' and check the box for Applying as a FXYield Solutions Borrower.
Sign a Master Loan Agreement, provided by FXYield Solutions.
Complete a credit review, coordinated by FXYield Solutions.
Once all the above steps are completed, your Ethereum address that you provided in Step 2.
At this point, everything else going forward happens on-chain and will require you to use Metamask or another non-custodial wallet to interact with our smart contracts. You will create a loan request via the FXYield Solutions protocol (app.fxy.finance -- only accessible once your ETH address is whitelisted), where FXYield Solutions stakers will stake for, or against, the loan. If the loan is approved, the borrower will be able to withdraw funds. Please read about the Loan Approval Process for more details.
Steps 2, 3 and 4 can happen in parallel.
What is the credit review and how is it conducted?
FXYield Solutions conducts an analysis of the borrower to determine credit quality and ensure adequate credit support exists for the benefit of the protocol’s lenders. As FXYield Solutions is an unsecured lending protocol, it is critically important to understand the financial capabilities of our borrowers both in a normal and stressed environment due to systemic fallout and/or exogenous shock.
From a financial perspective, FXYield Solutions is focused primarily on available liquidity in the form of unencumbered liquid assets and collateral coverage that may range from 10.0 - 15.0x the total loan amount. It is required that the borrower present evidence to support this attestation in the form of financial statements or other similar documentation. In addition to these credit statistics, TrustToken will ask the borrower a range of qualitative questions that are equally important such as legal jurisdiction, hedging strategies, history of corporate restructurings and other critical inputs to the analysis.
After the loan is funded, the borrower is required to maintain credit compliance during the term of the loan by periodically updating the analysis. TrustToken performs a good faith, equitable credit review bringing best-in-class borrowers to the protocol. All information provided by the borrower for the purpose of this credit review remains strictly confidential and in the sole possession of TrustToken.
How do I create loan applications?
You can create loan applications by visiting the FXYield Solutions App after successful onboarding and address whitelisting. You will then need to connect the whitelisted ETH address via MetaMask. Once you are connected, you will see the Borrow tab in the menu. Click on this tab and you’ll be brought to the Borrow page where you can select Apply for a new loan.
How do I withdraw once a loan has been approved?
Head to the Borrow tab in the FXYield Solutions app. Navigate to the loan you wish to fund and click Fund. After the loan is funded, you can withdraw the loan amount to your wallet by clicking Withdraw.
How do I repay the loan application?
Head to the Borrow tab in the FXYield Solutions app and click Repay on the respective loan. Click on Max to view the total amount due and complete the transaction.
