What is Torches Finance and How Does It Work?

Decentralized Finance (DeFi), is one of the most important infrastructures in Web3.0. The aim of DeFi is to create an entirely new financial system, completely independent of the traditional financial economy. Lending protocols are a key part of the DeFi ecosystem because they provide liquidity by connecting low-risk, low-effort investors who are risk-seeking, with proactively managed investors that focus on leveraged liquidity provision and yield farming positions.

Torches Finance is one of the best lending protocols running on the KuCoin Community Chain(KCC). After Torches Finance launched, it received a strategic investment immediately from KuCoin Ventures which is the leading investment arm of KuCoin Exchange.

What is Torches Finance?

Torches Finance is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol based on KCC(KuCoin Community Chian), where users, wallets, and dapps can participate as depositors or borrowers. Now, Torches supports mainstream crypto assets such as BTC, ETH, KCS, USDT, USDC, etc. Users can earn $TOR tokens by both depositing and lending assets on Torches Finance.

Also, asset security is an important task for us. Torches Finance has completed a contract audited by PeckShield. Torches is completely open source. All of the oracle services and smart contracts are open to the public and can be viewed on Github to ensure maximum transparency.

How Does Torches Finance Work?

Torches is a lending protocol that enables users to deposit crypto assets and receive interest in return. Besides, Torches also allow users to borrow crypto assets in an over-collateralised manner.
