what's Paystream?
Paystream is a decentralized peer-to-peer lending protocol built on the Solana blockchain, designed to address inefficiencies in traditional crypto lending. It facilitates direct matching between lenders and borrowers, optimizing capital utilization by reducing idle assets and improving leverage opportunities. The protocol leverages Solana's high-speed and low-cost transactions to enable seamless, efficient lending experiences without intermediaries. The native token, $PAYS, powers the ecosystem by enabling transactions, staking for rewards, governance participation, and access to lending features. Users can lend or borrow assets in a trustless manner, with smart contracts ensuring security and transparency. Backed by projects like MetaDAO, Paystream aims to enhance DeFi accessibility on Solana, combining yield optimization with community-driven development.
