Nomis - Web3 Rating Score

Nomis Protocol

Nomis Protocol is a web3 credential and scoring data network. Built on an open and collaborative infrastructure, the protocol helps web3 developers and other protocols leverage credential data to build better products and communities. At the same time, data curators are rewarded when credentials are used in Nomis Protocol’s Application Modules, Credential Oracle Engine, and Credential API.

Introduction

Nomis Protocol is an open-source protocol which provides dynamic APR, utilization rate and collateral size, which are calculated and balanced based on wallets’ on-chain data. The protocol operates on its own native token.

Problem

A lot of people still don’t have access to capital, especially in countries with underdeveloped economies. Also, people don’t want (or don’t understand why they need) to get a loan which is less than the collateral they need to use to back such a loan.


Solution

We aim to build a protocol which will use math and an AI-based prediction model to enable users with a positive on-chain credit score to take out crypto loans with less collateral.

In the high-level concept, we want to give access to capital to more people around the world who can’t afford (or don’t want to go with) 110% collateral or more, but at the same time have a good credit score based on their on-chain history.

Nomis Protocol will be an open-source protocol. Other teams can also build on top of it, and already existing high-TVL protocols can use our on-chain credit scores to balance their interest rates and collateral size individually for different wallets (users).

Key Features

🧮

Fair Credit Score

Fair and transparent calculated credit score based on on-chain data

💎

Optimized Collateral

Reliable wallets can use less collateral against their loans

🛠

Open Source

The protocol allows other developers build great products on top of it

🌕

$NUM

The protocol features a native utility token that is used for governance and rewards

💵

$nUSD

Borrowers take loans in stablecoins, backed with collateral and the protocol’s native token

⚖️

Protocol Governance

The protocol is fully managed by DAO, and all future updates are made by voting


Value for the Ecosystem

🙋

New Users

A fair interest rate and reduced collateral will likely attract borrowers from other protocols and networks

💰

Network’s TVL Goes Wild

More new users will bring more capital to the network, which will benefit all the network participants

🏦

Ecosystem Development

Current ecosystem dApps can borrow capital for liquidity and development with better rate

Ecosystem Growth

If the protocol will finds its market fit, more devs will be interested in building new dApps and protocols on top of it


Value for Community

📈

Mass Adoption

Hopefully, crypto loans will become more accessible and affordable

💫

Access to Capital

Users from underdeveloped economies will get access to affordable capital

💻

**Jobs for Developers

**

More liquidity should attract more teams to build new products for the ecosystem


Solution Explained

ℹ️ The functional purpose of the solution is to calculate the reliability of a crypto borrower by analyzing the automatically collected digital credentials of the crypto wallet

To predict a crypto borrower’s reliability on the basis of a wallet’s data and transaction history, we propose to use a trained artificial intelligence model, built on hierarchy analysis and pairwise comparisons methods. The choice of these methods is justified by insufficiency of data on defaults of crypto loans for construction of mathematical models of forecasting based on statistical approaches.

The hierarchy analysis method seems to be more reasonable than the linear logic approach, as it solves multi-criteria problems in complex environments with hierarchical structures involving both tangible and intangible factors. Also, the method of hierarchy analysis is a closed logical construction, providing, with the help of simple rules, analysis of complex problems in all their diversity and leading to the best answer.

Moreover, this method will make it possible to include all the knowledge we have on the problem in question in the dataset. This approach, from our point of view, is a balanced way of solving a quite difficult problem: forecasting when to make credit decisions under conditions of insufficient statistical data.


The Algorithm

At the first stage, we make a matrix of paired comparisons of parameters that affect the reliability of the crypto borrower in order to assess the importance of, among others, the parameters listed in the table below:

The DAO members evaluate each pair of parameters against each other. Using a comparison technique, they must compare each parameter to the others and assign a value according to Saaty's pairwise comparison technique

The use of DAO voting principles will make it possible to balance risk assessments using the paired comparison method. Implementating a DAO will create a revolution in the classical approach described by the mathematician Saaty in the construction of expert assessments using the pairwise comparisons method for making a balanced decision. This is because the experts are market participants themselves, and their interest in minimizing risks will be directly reflected in the mathematical model by voting when comparing parameters.
