The Venus Protocol, or Venus, is a decentralised marketplace for matching lenders with borrowers. Built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain, it allows users to earn interest from cryptocurrency deposits. Other users can then borrow those funds through overcollateralised loans without the need for a credit check. The lender receives an annual percentage yield (APY) for deposited funds, while the borrower pays interest on what is borrowed. In comparison to similar money market platforms, Venus provides users with collateral tokens which can then be used to mint synthetic stablecoins. These synthetic stablecoins can then be used within other decentralised finance (DeFi) applications and means collateral can remain liquid. VAI is the first USD synthetic stablecoin of the Venus Protocol. It is minted directly through the platform and tracks the price of US Dollars at a ratio of 1:1. Unlike other stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC), which is backed by real US dollars, VAI is backed by a basket of cryptocurrencies. According to the whitepaper, the stablecoin is completely decentralised, rather than controlled by a single entity.
