Description

BaseLoan integrates AI Agent + DAO + Smart Contracts to create a decentralized, transparent, and efficient microfinance loan approval and disbursement process, ensuring fair use of funds.

Target Audience: Global NGO organizations, helping extremely poor communities access small funding support.

Core Problem: NGOs have limited resources and cannot efficiently review loan applications, leading to corruption and misuse of funds. Extremely poor communities also cannot provide asset collateral for loans.

Business Model: Platform service fee + 3% loan interest.

🔹 Group Credit Assessment: The AI Agent conducts both group and individual cross-interviews, automatically generating a credit score.
🔹 DAO Governance + Smart Contract Disbursement: Reduces human intervention and enhances fund transparency.
🔹 Decentralized Insurance Pool: 1-3% of each loan is allocated as a default compensation fund.


Process Flow

1️⃣ Loan Application (Group-based)

  • Group Formation: 5-10 individuals from a poor community form a group, get to know each other, and collectively submit a loan application.

  • Group Representation: The group representative presents their collective request to the AI Agent (including the purpose, goals, personal background, etc.).

2️⃣ AI Agent Cross-Interview

  • Individual Interview: The AI Agent individually interviews each group member to verify personal and team information.

  • Cross-validation: The AI Agent designs random questions to check the consistency of the group’s narrative.

  • Evidence Submission: The group can upload additional proof such as skills certificates or credit records as supporting evidence.

  • AI Scoring: Based on the interviews and evidence, the AI calculates the group’s credit score and predicts risks.

3️⃣ DAO Approval + Smart Contract Loan Disbursement

  • DAO Governance: The NGO/investor community votes to decide whether to approve the loan.

  • Smart Contract Loan Disbursement: The loan is disbursed directly in USDT, with funds released in installments according to the agreed milestones.

  • Insurance Pool Mechanism: 1-3% of each loan is allocated to a decentralized insurance pool to hedge against defaults.

4️⃣ Repayment & Insurance Compensation

  • Repayment: Borrowers repay through NGO agents via USDT or fiat currency.

  • Default Compensation: In case of default, the insurance fund may partially compensate investors for their losses.

  • Successful Repayment: Timely repayments help improve the group's credit score, making future loans more favorable.

Progress During Hackathon

We met at Builder House and, within just two days, went from zero to team formation, ideation, and execution of BaseLoan, a decentralized microfinance platform tackling access to capital, financial tools, and identity challenges for the unbanked. Smart Contracts: Deployed MicroLendingPlatform for DAO-approved loans, AI-driven credit scoring, and milestone-based disbursement. AI Agent: Implemented AI-powered borrower verification with cross-validation and automated scoring. DAO Governance: Built AI-driven DAO management for transparent and efficient decision-making. Insurance Pool: Established a decentralized insurance pool, allocating 1-3% per loan to mitigate default risks. Testnet Deployment: Successfully tested smart contracts, DAO governance, and insurance pool on Base Sepolia. Frontend: Designed an intuitive UI, integrated wallet connectivity, and ensured seamless user interactions.
