[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

We perceive the need as solution to solve crypto's unstable and lack of financial services.

The reason why we use smart contracts is that it censorship resistant and every transaction is on chain.

Our project will engage the community and the institutions

With this service, there will be more ADA and tvl in the crypto system and bring a more whole and complete Cardano banking system

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This crypto borrowing and lending platform will use partnerships to leverage itself to aid and give banking services to anyone and help developers on the Cardano blockchain more easily get funding.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Bugs, audit costs, and fork delays

We will mitigate this by requesting multiple eyes to review code, and also compare prices with several audit firms.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

August 30th, we will research for 10days, then begin codeing. We will code for three weeks and launch on testnet.

We will then work with noteable app platforms on cardano to integrate these services to make the apps talk to one another through oracle feeds.

Then launch.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

20, 000 usd towards audit

10, 000 usd to development and code

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.
