Current crypto lending needs humans to vote on every little change, like
updating interest rates or changing liquidation thresholds. With Ritual, you can
build lending systems where AI reacts to the market 24/7 and adjusts everything
automatically. Replace slow moving manual processes with powerful, agentic
governance that is supercharged with machine learning.
Current lending protocols rely heavily on governance processes and manual
interventions for critical parameter adjustments. Liquidation thresholds,
interest rates, and other key parameters require governance votes or manual
updates, leading to a predominantly reactive rather than proactive approach to
market changes.This dependency on manual processes creates significant operational friction and
delays in parameter optimization. The complexity of managing collateral
factors creates an ongoing challenge in balancing protocol safety with user
experience, as these manual adjustment mechanisms struggle to keep pace with
rapidly evolving market conditions.Risk assessment capabilities in these protocols remain rudimentary and
inadequate for the complexity of today’s DeFi landscape. The systems demonstrate
limited ability in evaluating diverse assets and consistently fall short in
predicting volatility patterns. Their reactive nature leaves them vulnerable
to market shifts, particularly when dealing with exotic assets. The protocols
also struggle with accurately assessing correlations between different assets,
leading to potential systemic risks that could remain undetected until crisis
points.Liquidation mechanisms represent another critical weakness in traditional
lending protocols. These systems are prone to devastating liquidation
cascades, where one forced liquidation triggers a chain reaction of further
liquidations. The problem is compounded by frequent liquidity shortages during
critical moments and sub-optimal timing of liquidation events. Moreover, the
transparent nature of these liquidations exposes them to MEV extraction,
while the need for manual intervention in critical situations creates additional
points of failure and inefficiency.
