Income Locker is a lending platform to provide solutions for short term liquidity problems to cryptocurrency holders.

WHAT IS INCOME LOCKER

INCOME LOCKER is a lending platform which enables cryptocurrency holders to manage short term liquidity problems by taking a loan, using their existing cryptocurrencies as collateral. For investors wish to invest in turn - with the appropriate permits - can provide a loan risk free for those in need.

Due to the fact that the collateral can be exchanged into FIAT currency immediately, the risks involved for the lender party are almost identical to a bank deposit while gaining higher interest rates. The credit transactions are established between the two parties directly, our service as an intermediary ensures that the parameters of the agreement are recorded. Each of these terms are included in a smart contract, thus every credit contract between the parties is undeniable, and impossible to manipulate.

The Borrower is able to set its own conditions in terms of amount and duration in our system according to its needs. In addition, the level of risk taking for exchange rate fluctuations is also customizable. The process is fast and seamless and there is no need for additional credit assessment, since the borrower provides its collateral, which offers rapid and flexible convertibility. Our platform enables institutional investors to enter new markets, which have been out of their reach or the additional costs have prevented them from entering, as lenders.

MOTIVATION

Our goal is to connect the people who have already owned cryptocurrencies, but have been unable to effectively utilize them, to those who want to benefit from the profit generated by cryptocurrencies, while avoiding the high risk that often describes the crypto-markets. Over the past year we have received numerous requests from both camps, so we are pleased to announce that we will soon release our platform, that provides mutually beneficial solutions for both parties.

HOLD IT

Many people own some kind of cryptocurrency nowadays, and to those that follow the events of price fluctuations, the underlying problem is obvious: If I spend or exchange my cryptocurrency today, how much profit I lose for not holding it for an additional 1-5 years? The dilemma is to decide when it is worth spending these assets - the good answer is probably never. The wealth stored in cryptocurrencies are not liquid it can only be utilized with high risks and costs. Cryptocurrencies sold to finance a temporary liquidity problem can often be bought back at a significant loss. Due to these risks and in absence of a better option these assets are only stored in crypto-wallets and rarely ever used. With our solution it is finally possible to utilize these assets while reserving the option to get the full amount back upon repaying the loan.

CRED IT

Our system enables borrowers to fully customize their loans, terms are flexible, the duration and the deposited amount are both set by the borrower. The process itself is fast and smooth, and there is no need for credit assessment since the collateral provided by the borrower can be exchanged to traditional fiat currency very effectively. The similar level of flexibility is provided to the lender party, they are able to browse the list of credit requests and select the one which they prefer. Whether they are looking for a short term or high value loan - they can choose freely. It is important to note that for the lenders the use of the platform is free of charge and the risks involved are similar to a bank deposit, while they can expect significantly higher interest rates. The state of the collateral is monitored by the collateral manager, and should the collateral close in to the coverage point, the contract will be terminated to provide maximum security for the lender.

PROF IT

Those who take out a loan with cryptocurrency used as collateral, finally are able to realize their investment plans, and even if the exchange rate significantly rises during the loan period, they still reserve the option to realize these gains by paying the loan back and getting their cryptocurrencies back in full. The institutional investors that transact on the platform as lending partners are able to gain revenue through interest. The users of the platform pay every cost in ILK tokens - except the interest, thus the ILK token plays an integral part of the INCOME LOCKER ecosystem. The ILK tokens can be purchased directly from the platform, or during the multi-step token sale. We are going to provide continuous information about the token sale schedule. Tokens are transferable, storable in personal wallets and it is possible to buy/sell through the inlock.io's own exchange.
