Introduction & Project Prospectus

Sirio represents the first non-custodial and permissionless Lending and Borrowing protocol built on Hedera which is leveraging AI to revolutionize DeFi.

Its name comes from Sirius, the closest star to Earth after the sun.

Sirius is always easy to find. It’s the sky’s brightest star, it’s visible from both hemispheres and it is a good representation for Sirio’s goal of becoming a futuristic Platform from another Planet.

One of the Egyptian gods the star was associated with was Osiris, the god of life, death, fertility and rebirth of plant life along the Nile.

As a parallel, Sirio is taking decentralized finance to another level inside Hedera ecosystem and the crypto industry as a whole through its key approaches:

  • Artificial Intelligence: using a Neural Network that works in a permissionless and arbitrary manner, as an alternative solution to traditional and centralized approaches like the ones offered by Gauntlet, Sirio proposes a Decentralized and Permissionless AI as a key-feature of its platform, and later as a B2B service available for other DeFi Protocols
  • Data-Driven Approach: enhances transparency and integrates with DeFi applications via APIs, supported by strategic partnerships
  • Interoperability: with AI Model Running on ICP, Datasets Stored on Filecoin, Model Trained on Octa, Smart Contracts running on Hedera DLT — Sirio aims to be a truly, decentralized Platform that utilizes multiple technologies

These unique features allowed Sirio to establish partnerships with ICP and Filecoin with two goals:

  1. Increase visibility and attract new users from other ecosystems
  2. Bridge multi-billion dollars market cap tokens on Hedera and list them on Sirio Market, boosting the TVL to the next level

Project Details

Through its innovative Hashgraph Consensus Algorithm with key features such as Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, Gossip about Gossip and Virtual Voting, Hedera facilitates fast consensus, creating a platform that is smooth, scalable and secure. These elements work together to ensure an optimal environment for users to engage in lending or borrowing assets on Sirio.

Sirio Finance provides two main services — lending and borrowing — estimating the risks associated with a given loan before they submit the borrowed transaction.

Users can deposit their assets to earn a competitive APY, making it an attractive option for passive income. Borrowers can leverage their holdings by borrowing assets, supported by a robust and secure architecture that includes an AI model and audits from top-tier firms.

The main features of the platform are the following:

  • Lend: users will be able to lend their own funds, while earning based on an interest rate for providing liquidity to the platform (which will depend on the dynamics of supply and demand balance developed by the compound protocol, which the system will rely on for several architectural aspects of the platform)
  • Borrow: users will be able to increase their invested capital, go short or long and farm potential upcoming airdrops by collateralizing the assets they own and obtaining a loan
  • Analytics: a detailed dashboard, full of analytics related to protocol stability, risks and stats, where the user can check the current working status of Sirio and activity of single users through transparent and relevant on-chain data
  • AI-Featured Risk management Solution: Sirio’s work has already on an arbitrary and permissionless AI algorithm that will predict the risk associated to the loans by users one moment before they complete the borrow transaction; if the risk is high, the Model will propose some additional actions for users to decrease the risks of liquidation
