How MAGBot Works

MAGBot operates as a streamlined solution for on-chain micro-lending, offering borrowers and lenders an intuitive interface for loan management, all within the familiar environment of Telegram. The bot simplifies the traditionally complex lending process into a few easy-to-follow steps:

1. World ID Verification

  • Purpose: Verifies user identity securely and ensures authenticity.

  • Mechanism: Users authenticate their identities using World ID, a privacy-preserving verification system.

  • Outcome: Verified users can proceed to access the lending platform without compromising personal data.

2. Wallet Creation

  • Purpose: Facilitates easy access to blockchain transactions.

  • Mechanism: Through integration with Coinbase's Account Abstraction Kit, each user is provided with a blockchain wallet.

  • Features: The wallet supports:

    • Secure transaction processing.

    • Gas sponsorship for transactions, ensuring users don't need cryptocurrency to cover fees.

3. Loan Application and Management

  • Purpose: Enables users to request and manage loans efficiently.

  • Mechanism: The bot interfaces with Magnify.cash smart contracts to:

    • Process loan requests.

    • Manage repayments.

    • Track collateral and loan status.

4. SBT Minting for Identity Representation

  • Purpose: Provides a blockchain-based identity linked to World ID verification.

  • Mechanism: Upon verification, a Soulbound Token (SBT) is minted for the user.

    • Non-transferable: Represents verified identity and cannot be transferred to another user.

    • Use Case: Acts as proof of identity within the MAGBot ecosystem, enhancing trust and accountability.

5. NFT Minting for Collateral

  • Purpose: Supports the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as loan collateral.

  • Mechanism: ERC-721 NFTs are minted for collateralized assets.

    • Represents user-provided collateral.

    • Ensures the lender's security by locking the collateral until the loan is repaid.
