Block66 ICO Review: Strength and Opportunity
Introduction
Block66 introduces the first platform where lenders can access a marketplace of vetted borrowers looking for mortgage finance. This marketplace is public, transparent, and highly automated, so lending is streamlined, with lower costs, and lower risks. The upcoming network is a matchmaker connecting borrowers with lenders. No longer will prospective homeowners be solely reliant upon local banks and credit unions. Block66 is a platform currently building a new blockchain-enabled marketplace for mortgages. Institutional and private lenders can use the service to offer loans to a wide range of borrowers, introduced by Block66 broker partners. Through the practical use of smart contracts, loans can be taken from origination to facilitation, quickly and efficiently.
Block66 infrastructure will be implemented as a decentralized application (dApp), and run on the Ethereum network. Brokers will be able to list clients as lending opportunities on the platform, after being thoroughly vetted by Block66 through proof of residence, credit reports, license verification, and criminal record checks. Proprietary software, as well as a network of partners, will be used for this purpose. Based on a personal risk/reward ratio, lenders can then select an investment from the offered mortgages to add to their portfolio.
Block66 introduces the first platform where lenders can access a marketplace of vetted borrowers looking for mortgage finance. This marketplace is public, transparent, and highly automated, so lending is streamlined, with lower costs, and lower risks. Each loan is represented as a pool of “proof of loan” (PoL) tokens that can be individually resold to investors, providing lenders with liquidity, and empowering a diverse pool of investors.
