We are excited to announce our partnership with Blockpass, to initiate comprehensive on-chain data for establishing Digital Identity Management System (IMS) on EasyFi universal layer 2 DeFi lending protocol. Needless to say, this has been done in preparation for our plans to achieve lower collateralization ratios or under collateralization and collateralization for lending in DeFi.

This partnership and integration mark the culmination of a very important component in the identity space on Layer 2. This has been explained extensively below.

Those who are following this space will know that some important integrations have happened in the past couple of months. These are all related to the integrations happening between 4 different companies — Blockpass, Chainlink, Matic, and EasyFi.

The Identity Quad on Layer 2 DeFi

Here are the integrations that will make a huge impact, we believe, in the Decentralized Identity space on Layer 2, to reflect in near future:

EasyFi Network chose to build its Layer 2 lending protocol first on Matic Network

EasyFi Network integrated Chainlink for its price-feed oracles for its volatile asset markets.

Matic Network integrated Chainlink’s decentralized oracles on its Layer 2 sidechain network

Blockpass & Matic partnered to integrate digital identity on the Layer 2 network

Blockpass runs a Chainlink node to provide on-chain digital identity data across all platforms.

EasyFi integrates on-Chain identity data in its smart contracts to establish a Digital Identity Management System in its protocol.

These inter-platform integrations are very significant for any Layer 2 solution and our partnership with Blockpass completes what can be called the Identity Quad on Layer 2 networks.

The Identity Quad

The 1st Pillar — @Blockpass — Is the “Creator” and verifier of the digital identity data required for on-chain consumption. It has developed its digital identity protocol to improve the on-chain compliance experience.
The 2nd Pillar — @chainlink — Is the “Feeder” — it feeds the on-chain digital identity data from Blockpass to Layer2 & other blockchain networks.
The 3rd Pillar — @maticnetwork — Is the “Enabler” — it enables and provides fast and low-cost access to the on-chain identity data received for use in the smart contracts deployed on its network, thus making on-chain identity verifications affordable.
The 4th Pillar — @easyfinetwork — is the “Adopter” — we adopt, consume and disseminate this digital identity data for enabling decentralized & compliant lending & borrowing of digital assets over our L2 protocol.

Here is how we can depict it pictographically:

Web 3.0 Management on EasyFi

Our Identity management system will enable borrower digital identities and is a precursor to our eventual move into providing under-collateralized and uncollateralized loans to our users.

We believe, that the EasyFi IMS with Blockpass’s on-chain identity data management modules, plus our Credit Rating Generation System (CRGS) will double up as a power-packed couple and add robustness to our upcoming features of micro-lending, pay-day loans, credit default swaps, and other financial instruments that come under the purview of under-collateralized and uncollateralized loans.

As we stated earlier, we have already been working on a web 3.0 identity layer to devise complex processes & algorithms to ascertain necessary borrower’s evaluation mechanisms on our way to achieve the above-stated goal of lower collateralization ratios.
