Channels & CoinWind AMA Recap
1. Could you tell us more about your project? In other words, what does Channels do?
Channels is the leading multi-chain innovative DeFi lending with zero security incidents. Users can deposit money (including single currency and LP) and borrow money in Channels, and both deposit and borrow will receive platform currency CAN rewards. As a new generation of DeFi lending agreement, Channels quickly became the world’s fourth-largest mortgage lending platform in just 7 months, and it is also the world’s largest LP mortgage lending platform, and it has never had any security incidents.
Channels has now launched BSC and HECO. TVL has long been ranked N0 1 on HECO for a long time. It became the second-largest lending platform on BSC on the second day of BSC’s launch. It is also the largest LP mortgage lending platform on the two platforms, and the mining revenue has long been the highest on BSC and HECO. The highest in the platform. As the world’s leading head lending product, Channels has always adhered to user asset security as the core and product experience as the basis to create greater value for users.
Currently, Channels supports 18 mainstream tokens and 10 LP mortgage lending on BSC, and 18 mainstream tokens and 11 LP mortgage lending on HECO, giving users multiple choices to the greatest extent. It is worth noting that users can pledge LP to lend a single currency, which can greatly increase the rate of return (at least doubled) while increasing the utilization rate of funds, and optimize the rate of return of users.
The platform’s token CAN was also launched on the Huobi Exchange on April 21 this year. The currency price has risen from US$4 to a maximum of US$18 in the last two weeks, which is a four-fold increase, and is currently US$14. Cross-chain and other benefits are detailed, so the CAN public recognition is still very high.
The community of Channels is very popular. The Telegram group has 30,000 followers, Twitter 43.8K Followers, and the Chinese community is also one of the most active in the heco project.
Channels Ranked No 1 in the HECO main node election, Channels returns 100% of the node revenue to users, and the current apy revenue is 5.05%
Channels also launched Binance Smart Chain (BSC) on August 25. Within 3 hours of launching, channels have achieved a total deposit and borrowing of US$180 million, making it the second-largest lending platform for BSC. The staking method of LP+ single currency has been liked by users on BSC, and the price of CAN has also jumped to US$20 on pancake. On August 26, BSC also launched DAO community governance. The core purpose of DAO governance is to allow users who hold CAN have a say, to achieve community governance, and to achieve optimal governance through gameplay through market mechanisms.
2. There are many similar projects out there, some have been quite successful. What is special about Channels compared to other projects?
I will talk about this issue from five aspects: product safety, user benefits, user experience, product highlights, and team background.
The first and most basic point is security. Channels is the first lending platform in the Heco ecosystem that adopts a decentralized oracle solution, and it is also the first lending platform to go online after completing open-source, verification and auditing. There is no doubt that among all lending products, the safety of user assets is the most important. I believe that Channels is the safest lending platform. Before Heco launched its own oracle, Channels designed its own decentralized oracle solution, which is completely different from other lending products that use centralized oracles. In addition, Channels has been audited by Fairly Security and knownsec.com. In addition, we have also done KYC certification on Huobi Exchange, so there is no reason to abandon the project.
The second point is user benefits. At present, there are many ways to obtain income through channels. Take deposit and loan mining as an example. Currently, assets that can be borrowed on our platform include 17 mainstream currencies such as HT, HBTC, ETH, HUSD, USDT, UNI, and DOT. Most mainstream currencies have the highest deposit income on Channels, and most mainstream currencies have the lowest borrowing costs on Channels. Data will not deceive people. This is our comparison with other platforms. advantage. Deposit and loan can obtain mining income, and open the revolving loan mining function, which doubles the mining efficiency. At the same time, we are the first lending platform on Heco that supports LP mortgage loans and the largest LP lending platform on Heco.
The third point is user experience. The user experience of Channels has been praised and recognized by many users. Whether it is the convenience of interactive operations or the overall UI style, it is no exaggeration to say that Channels is currently the best lending platform on Heco. Our users use one word to describe Channels: smooth. We sincerely invite you to experience the channel: https://channels.finance , I believe you will not forget it after using it.
The fourth point is the highlight of the project. Channels is the first project on HECO to support LP mortgage lending. The original intention of Channels is to expand the collateral, maximize the utilization of funds, and thus increase the income of users because mortgage LP can also obtain income. . BSF is also the highlight of the platform project. It has deposited 57 million US dollars of LP, which can also be regarded as the well-known KOL’s security trust in Channels and the recognition of the project’s products.
The fifth point is the team. Channel team members are from industry-leading institutions and internationally renowned universities and have extensive experience in the blockchain, finance, and computer industries. The background of the entire Channels team is still very strong and reliable, very young and energetic. They are a group of young people who are committed to making a difference in the Defi world. In addition, the serious work style of the team has also won the trust and support of all sectors of society. Whether it is product design or community operations, we can see the team’s down-to-earth attitude. One more thing to add is that the angel investor of our team is Song Ying, one of the founders of Huobi, and Mr. Song is the first CTO of Huobi. This is also an important reason why our team’s technology is very professional. At the same time, Channels has received investment from institutions such as Gold Krypton Capital, Water Drop Capital, Axia8 Ventures, and others.
3. How do you guarantee users’ asset security?
First of all, Channels is the only project on HECO that has had zero security incidents since it went online in February 2021. The most important thing is technology. Only by being technically foolproof can the security of users’ assets be guaranteed. This is the premise. In order to ensure the safety of user assets, Channels independently designed and developed a decentralized multi-source data verification oracle solution, which has been upgraded to version V2. This is the first time on Heco, which reflects our technical strength, and it has not happened yet. There has not been any incident of user assets being stolen. In addition, we also have a professional risk control consulting team.
The second point is that the team is experienced. Channels project CEO Yang Ming team has rich project development experience before Channels, including DeFi project development experience. Attaches great importance to engineering safety and has extensive experience. This is the second point.
The third point is to be cautious. For example, the team completed the development of the project very early and has been repeatedly testing for nearly a week. It has been online long ago, and it took some time to wait for the audit report. There are also currency listings, only mainstream currencies. Although this has been complained about by many community members, it is clear that Channels puts the protection of user assets in the first place. Channels is also the first audit + source code + browser verification lending platform on the Huobi ecological chain. After all, is completed, you can go online.
The platform mechanism is another important reason, and the setting of the platform mechanism should be reasonable. For example, the interest rate of some small currencies cannot be too high. The attack on VENUS is directly related to their high mortgage interest rates. In addition, there should be a certain risk reserve to ensure the safety of user assets.
4. How do users participate in Channels?
There are 5 ways users could participate in Channels
1. Staking and lending：
2. Staking in LP：
For example, providing HT-USDT-LP in MDEX could get CAN and MDX rewards, the APY will be 41.45%.
3. DAO：

4. Staking single-token

5. CAN could also mine other tokens, for example, CAN-MDX-LP could mine YF in YF.FARM.

6. What is the future planning of Channels?
In the future, channels will continue to focus on user assets in the first place, continue to create value for users, and become a better lending platform. Channels may consider multi-chain development, and a hundred flowers bloom on each public chain. And we hope to provide users with the best service and the best experience so that users can borrow more high-quality assets on Channels, and deposit users can get higher deposit income.
Channels also ranks first in the TVL lending field in HECO, so the important content in the near future is the arrangement of splitting, cross-chain, and product optimization and upgrading, which will be completed in Q4 one after another, and I will introduce them one by one.
● Split, after a vote, it was decided that the platform token CAN is about to split from 5 million to 1 billion. After the vote is passed, the platform arranges an audit as soon as possible and has passed the audit of Chuangyu, the security company. Due to high-risk issues, Channels has always put user asset security as the first priority. After the exchange process is passed, the split will be carried out. Huobi has already supported the split plan on September 1 and provides exchange services.
● Cross-chain on August 25th, Channels recently plans to cross-chain to Polygon, BSC and other main networks to open up the multi-chain DeFi ecosystem and realize the joint development of the Heco chain and the BSC chain. For users, it provides a new and secure lending platform that optimizes user income. For DAPP project parties, the lending platform is the underlying infrastructure, and more DAPP projects can be superimposed on Channels to increase the user’s capital utilization rate and annualized rate of return.
● Product upgrade
1. DAO upgrade, optimize DAO governance rules, thereby increasing the rate of return of user deposit DAO
2. The product V2 version, the team will optimize the product on the basis of loan
3. Cross-chain, there will be plans to deploy more on-chain to achieve cross-chain innovative DEFI products
