Thank you for your great questions, and we are glad that you think that this seems like a cool idea ?
Re blog reference on ETH - first of all, thank you for checking out our blog! So, we did start out with Ethereum. However, after we learned about Stellar and after comparing Ethereum and Stellar based on our business and technical requirements, we determined that Stellar was the better chain for our product. We’ll be presenting our product and the framework that we used to choose the right chain for our product at the 2018 International Tech4Dev Conference ?
From talking to experts in the field and consulting our advisors with experiences in P2P lending, we learned that initial default rates will be high but these rates can be significantly reduced in a short period. For example, one of our advisors worked for a publicly traded P2P lending company that was able to lower initial default rates of ~40% to 2% annual in 1-2 years by training the risk models using traditional and non-traditional data. To help minimize risk for our lenders, One Daijo will initially play the role of the lender. Once we’ve lowered the expected default rate, we’ll then onboard lenders.
We’ve calculated expected value of ROI for lenders for each default rate on the One Daijo lending platform. Just to give a few numbers -- at 2% default rate, lender’s expected annualized ROI is 102.91%; at 5% default rate, lender’s expected annualized ROI is 40.68%.🖩
Currently, we have not released any QIN. We hope to be listed on SDEX after an ICO and on other exchanges as well to provide additional liquidity.
Our goal is to create a global P2P lending network. ? While our target borrowers are in developing countries, our target lenders are mostly in developed countries. The Stellar chain and anchors help us do the cross-border transfers and we love working with great Stellar anchors whose relationships with local partners we can leverage to deliver a better experience for our borrowers.
Borrowers will not be paying back in QIN but will pay back in their fiat currency. They will, however, have options to redeem QIN.
