The credit protocol saw a peak in real-world assets two years ago. Now, it is looking to revive the market.
Decentralized credit protocol TrueFi has introduced the Trinity protocol with an eye on increasing the capital efficiency of on-chain real-world assets (RWA). The new protocol will use the dollar-based TRI token backed by collateral assets to make it easier for users to acquire leverage and hedge risks.
The interest-bearing tfBILL, a tokenized short-term United States Treasury bill product, will be the first collateral asset used to back TRI. Other TrueFi pools, RWA from different protocols and other crypto-native assets could also be used.
A user could mint TRI on Trinity using tfBill or other assets as collateral and swap it for a stablecoin on an automated market maker. The user could then mint TRI through a smart contract it calls a vessel, borrow up to 92% of the loan-to-value ratio in TRI, swap that for the stablecoin again, mint more TRI and repeat the process. Eventually, the process would allow the user to earn up to 15–20% net yield.
