What is Party Parrot (PRT)? All you need to know about PRT Token
Solana is the ecosystem that recorded impressive growth in 2021, with the most TVL accumulated in AMM and Yield Aggregator (Saber & Sunny). After AMM DEX and Yield Farming, Lending is expected to be the next area to capture value from the expanding ecosystem.
Among several lending projects on Solana, Party Parrot is the protocol having the first mover’s advantage. The TVL of Party Parrot reached nearly 440M after 3 months. In this article, we will find out what Party Parrot is and its potential to become a fundamental building block on Solana.
What is Party Parrot?
Party Parrot is a liquidity network for lending and borrowing on Solana. You can take MakerDao as an analogy with Party Parrot. Both allow users to mint stablecoin by depositing a certain amount of their digital assets. However, Party Parrot takes one more step by allowing LP tokens on other protocols to be collaterals as well.
The reason behind this feature is that Party Parrot wants to make locked value in DeFi accessible. Currently, there are limited use cases for LP tokens while billions of dollars are locked under different DeFi protocols. By unlocking this substantial locked value, Party Parrot plays an essential role in increasing capital efficiency in DeFi systems.
How does Party Parrot work?
Party Parrot offers 3 main features:
Minting Stable coin (PAI): PAI is the stablecoin of Party Parrot. It is pegged to 1 USD and maintains this peg by overcollaterization and interest rate. The advantage of borrowing PAI over other stablecoin is its extremely cheap cost at 0.1%-0.2% compared to 10%-30% with USDT/USDC.
Unifying $SOL Stake Pool Tokens (SPTs): Party Parrot allows all different SPTs on Solana to be used as collateral to mint pSOL. This way, Party Parrot unifies different SPTs into one pSOL to avoid higher fees and slippage when traded with different STPs.
Staking: prtSOL is Parrot’s stake pool token, acquired by transferring an existing stake account or depositing SOL directly at parrot.fi.
What is the PRT token?
PRT is the governance token of Party Parrot. At the initial stage of development, PRT is mainly used as an incentive to attract users to the platform.
