Lend and Borrow. The Blender Platform is a blockchain powered open-end credit platform in which authenticated users can create their own credit-lines (and set their preferred interest rates and minimum monthly payments) using smart contracts on the xDAI Blockchain. Potential lenders may browse through available smart contracts on the platform, assess borrower credibility with quantitative statistics and choose to which borrowers to lend money. Borrowers receive lent funds from lenders via the borrowers' credit-lines. Upon the receipt of funds, the borrower must withdraw the funds for release into the borrower's Blender Wallet. At the point of final withdrawal of funds from the smart contract into the borrower's virtual wallet, the withdrawn funds begin to accrue the interest at the rate designated by the borrower at the credit line's creation. The borrower is now to repay these funds, and a lack of doing so results in poor statistics on the platform and decreased credibility. In addition, lenders may reclaim the remaining liquid portions of their contributions which have not yet been withdrawn, at will. The Blender Platform reserves the right to obtain owed funds from delinquent borrowers as described in our terms, available online at https://lenderblock.io/termsandconditions-tbp Blender Pro Plus subscription offers benefits including lending to borrower accounts commission-free, free global transfers to friends and family, access to collateral-free credit-limit increases for borrowers via the Blender Verified Registry, access to live-support, and zero monthly Blender Wallet charges.
