Fireant X Themis
AMA of Fireant community 2021.12.07
Q: There are many Defi projects but the NFT lending protocol is new for me. Could you let me know how it works and how we could use the services?
A: If you regularly use lending protocols like Compound or AAVE then Themis will bring you something different.
First, we will offer the world's first and only platform that allows users to use UNI-V3 NFTs as collateral for loans. As a borrower, you are no longer collateralizing one token and borrowing another. Instead, users are collateralizing an LP that is providing users with revenue to get additional liquidity.
Check out this strategy that utilizes Themis and a $MIM/$USDC LP for instance.https://blog.themis.exchange/309-apr-or-2-561-apy-on-stables-mim-usdc-using-uniswap-v3-themis-23578ffbb695
As a simple lender, users may find that Themis may have a higher utilization rate of funds and thus a higher yield. If users are players in the NFT space, perhaps those NFTs can bring them some value-added services, such as increasing the lending rate.
Additionally, you’ll have access to a role as a liquidator. Users can arbitrage the liquidation process of a lending agreement without being constrained by their own technical abilities and instead participate directly in the process.
Last but not least, we will be offering yield farming after TGE, allowing users to stake their tokens and earn rewards.
Q: How is NFT mortgage interest calculated? Let me know how could we calculate the interest rate？
A: There’s actually quite a big range in possible interest rates when using Themis.
That’s because the rates are totally determined by the utilization rate of the lending supply, which can change over time.
Initially, interest rates can be anywhere from 0% to 21.5% on launch.
Q:When I invest in projects, I see a lot of investment companies and partners. What about Themis' investment and partners?
A: We’re happy to say that we’ve already raised more than $2 million from some great investor partners like Chain Financial, LD Capital and NfX.

Also, we’re thrilled to be partnered with launchpad DAO Maker as well. In fact, our TGE will occur through DAO Maker’s Strong Holder Offering （https://blog.themis.exchange/dream-of-being-a-vc-fbf45acea8fd) soon!
Q: I strongly believe if you support multi chain NFT, it would be very expandable. Do you have plans to support multi chains?
A:We are actually exploring partnerships at this very moment that will allow us to support cross-chain functionality.
We want users to be able to collateralize your UNI-V3 NFTs and immediately use those funds to interact with other chains like Solana or Fantom, all without ever leaving the Themis app!
We know that this cross-chain stablecoin interaction will bring our users even more financial flexibility, which is why we’ve made it a major priority.
It’s too early to announce anything yet, but we fully expect to be cross-chain compatible very soon.
Q: What could we do with TMS? Why do we need to buy and hold TMS tokens? let me know the benefit of holding the tokens.
A:$TMS tokens are governance tokens that are issued as a reward for interacting with the app, by farming or lending for example.
You’ll be able to harvest your $TMS periodically as you interact with the platform, and you’ll be able to use them to play an integral role in the project’s decision making process!
Since Themis is a DAO, you’ll be able to use your $TMS to vote on decisions that will directly influence the project’s direction.
Any proposals that impact Themis can be submitted by $TMS holders. And the amount of $TMS you hold determines how much weight your vote has.
As for why you should hold onto them, we have several mechanisms in place to make sure that you’ll want to hodl!
As Themis grows in popularity, these tokens may be continually repurchased and destroyed.
Q: There will be a lot of gas costs with the Ethereum chain. Are you thinking of other ways to do this?
A: Ethereum — Yes, we’re starting with ETH because of the UNIswap V3 TVL. But, we will roll on to different chains as we allow V2 collateral and Staked LP collateral. More to come!
Q:Themis constitutes a strong ecosystem with various functions. I wonder if there are any plans for incineration or buyback to maintain this ecosystem？
A:we will allow the community to vote on this matter.
