We’re excited to announce Loan Migration, a powerful new feature that allows you to seamlessly transition your Loan positions to Loops. This feature is designed to provide greater flexibility, eliminate default risks, and enhance how you manage your loans—all with just a few clicks.
With Loan Migration, you can upgrade your position to Loops, which improves upon traditional Loans by:
Charging fees via a continuous funding rate instead of upfront interest.
Removing the risk of default due to expiration.
Gradually reducing debt and collateral in proportion to the funding rate (currently 15%).
Baseline Loans have been a core offering since the inception of Baseline, enabling users to access backed reserves against their tokens. While innovative, Loans came with challenges: users often faced frustration from missed expiration deadlines, leading to defaults, and upfront interest charges added financial strain.
In September, we introduced Baseline Loops, an alternative to Loans. Unlike Loans, which charge interest based on the borrowed amount, Loops use a funding rate mechanism that continuously “shrinks” both debt and collateral. This eliminates expiration deadlines while maintaining the same exposure, offering a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
Loan Migration allows users to transition their Loan positions to Loop positions. This migration retains your exposure, shifts upfront fees to continuous charges, and removes expiration dates, making it a smart move for users managing active loans.
By migrating your Loan position to a Loop position, you can:
Avoid Defaults: No more missed deadlines or expiration-induced defaults.
Simplify Portfolio Management: Loops automatically adjust debt and collateral with every block.
Eliminate Upfront Costs: Protocol will automatically collect fees every block by reducing debt and collateral at a rate of 15%
It’s worth noting that Loops do not receive floor bumps at this time. If you wish to continue receiving floor bumps, you can maintain your Loan position. However, we’re actively working to introduce the ability to claim floor bumps with Loops in the near future.
If your Loan is nearing expiration, take advantage of Loan Migration to safeguard your position and streamline your portfolio. Migrating is quick, easy, and can save you from unnecessary defaults.
