Why lenders on PayBit get paid back

Every borrower posts at least 150% collateral in blue-chip assets. Positions are monitored block-by-block and auto-liquidated at 115% by our partnered market makers — before they reach your principal.

  • Over-collateralisation

    Minimum 150% collateral on launch, rising to 200% for illiquid altcoins and volatile market regimes.

  • Liquidation buffer

    Auto-liquidation triggers at 115% LTV — leaving a 15% equity cushion between collateral and your loan.

  • Insurance fund

    A $120M reserve absorbs losses in extreme events. Funded from 10% of all borrower interest.

  • Chainlink + Pyth oracles

    Dual-oracle price feeds prevent manipulation. A 5% deviation check halts borrowing until stale prints clear.

Comparison

PayBit Lending vs. DeFi money markets

Both models are over-collateralised, but the operational experience, rate stability and protection stack differ meaningfully.

FAQ

Lender questions, answered

How safe is my principal?

Every borrower posts 150%+ collateral and is liquidated at 115% — well before losses reach lenders. If a gap opens anyway, our $120M insurance fund absorbs it. Zero lender losses in 5 years and counting.

What determines the APY?

Utilization. Each asset pool has a dynamic rate curve — as more of the supplied liquidity is borrowed, APY climbs. Rates update every minute with borrow-book changes.

Can I withdraw mid-term?

Flex positions — always, instantly. Fixed positions allow early exit with a modest interest forfeit, or you can sell your position on the PayBit secondary market.

Is interest taxable?

In most jurisdictions, yes — we produce ready-to-file 1099-MISC, CSV, Koinly and CoinTracker exports covering all lending income.
