eUSD is probably a bit more similar to yCRV where its a representation of a pool of fiat-backed stablecoins that users can borrow from.

guest491342492 commented on Do you also need to hold some Egld going forward?
I don't fully understand this question, but I will always recommend holding some eGLD to anyone anywhere, anytime ??
guest491342492 commented on @lawrencelhz I’m assuming to use Ramp, you can use the typical wallet like metamask?
Yup! We'll want to make it easy for users to access the solution, so Metamask will definitely be used as its one the most popular wallets on Ethereum.
guest491342492 commented on Great ?1/The big problem of blockchain is scalability, so how will RAMPDEFI blockchain solve specifically this problem ? 2/Could you tell me how Zero-Knowledge protocol could share data but still keep users privacy ?
The core components of our solution will be built natively in Elrond, which is highly scalable and efficient, no questions about it here ;) The projection to Ethereum is really just to access the fiat-backed capital available there, so we also minimize the cross-chain elements.
guest491342492 commented on What are the benefits of using rUSD or eUSD, what is the best one for non-experienced DeFi users ?
The simplicity of borrowing and lending. If you look at Compound, there's many assets and interest rates. On RAMP, there's just two assets - rUSD that represents staked assets, and eUSD that represents liquid capital
guest491342492 commented on @lawrencelhz just to get this correctly: for etherium it will be eUSD, but for other blockchain that will be rUSD, right?
eUSD can be seen as similar to the yCRV, a representation of fiat-backed capital within a pool
guest491342492 commented on Can you talk about any of your current partnerships and any you're working on?
So far we have announced partnership with Elrond and IOST, and I would also say that we want to deliver early outcomes for the Elrond community :) Beyond that, many other PoS chians have reached out, and we are working on a selective basis on who to on-board.
guest491342492 commented on What happens when an Elrond Validator, whose stake is liquid on Ramp, is slashed?
The first layer is an asset delegation layer for users, and you will have a wrapped token representation received in return that gives you a claim on the underlying you sent in. So as a user, you should not be affected.
guest491342492 commented on Ah so it will be some sort of a decentralized OTC provider, like an internal Uniswap ?
That's one way to see it, yes haha
guest491342492 commented on What are the goals RAMPDEFI is aiming to accomplish with those tools?
Allow users to stake assets and then issue a fungible derivative that can be used to borrow fiat-backed capital such as USDT, USDC, without needing to exit their original porfolio, and still receive staking rewards :)
guest491342492 commented on I was curious also how is rSwap working to swap between multiple chains and networks, is it a custodial solution or it has a different mechanism ?
In true DeFi fashion, we won't be building any custodial solutions :) The mechanism utilizes the rPool - the rPool is a shared interest pool that accrues a small % of staking rewards from all staked assets. So anyone who swaps, will buy and sell against the rPool (like a universal OTC buyer / seller)
guest491342492 commented on Can we get some info about the public sale maybe ?
Coming to our community within these two weeks! We are trying to design a fair system that can't be overwhelmed by bots, or require high gas
guest491342492 commented on How do you ensure good data is being put onto the blockchain by participants?
RAMP is going to be a lightweight set of smart contracts that deliver a specific use case. So we rely on the existing blockchain infrastructure by the foundation. This way we dont have to reinvent the wheel, or build resource consuming blockchain infrastructure.
guest491342492 commented on The biggest concern right now when people discuss DeFi is security. Most projects don’t really take it seriously, can you tell us more about your approach to this? Do you plan to audit / properly test all contracts and will the results be made public ?
Yes 100%. And that is why we want to work with PoS blockchain foundations, as they provide an extra pair of eyes on the smart contracts developed. And then the third party auditors as the third pair of eyes. We won't release any code without audit.
guest491342492 commented on what are you doing to achieve adoption with Decentralized Finance? How can the community get involved?
staking farming as the start for network participants, and also in RAMP, yield can be stacked. Farm RAMP tokens, stake it, which let you receive yield from the shared interest pool and also increase your farming efficiency, rinse and repeat
guest491342492 commented on Hi @lawrencelhz I also heard that ramp can be farmed right?
yup! we have 45% set aside for stake farming, so there's a lot of tokens to mine there ?
guest491342492 commented on Speaking of which, can you tell me how can you protect the rUSD stablecoin from falling out of peg in a Black Swan case that we’ve seen on march 13th when the whole markets collapsed and MakerDAO liquidation mechanism failed ?
Thats a great question. I think such market shocks can happen in black swan events. I would first recommend that users dont overleverage to start with, and get comfortable with how the designs work. And then we also have an added layer of insurance. The shared interest pool will be deployed to backstop any loss of value in the collateralization ecosystem. We aim for it to be a "friendly" liquidator in that if asset values restore within say, 24 hours, it does seize the assets
guest491342492 commented on From when it will start?
We hope to have a basic delegation product developed within the next 4-6weeks if possible, and allow stake farming start early
guest491342492 commented on As far as making sure that minted coins are always 100% collaterized, what system / processes do you have in place that will accomplish this?
Firstly, tokens have to overcollateralized. This can anything from 200% and up to start with. This is similar to how Kava or Maker work. (but RAMP will not charge stability fees)
