Have you ever been suddenly liquidated after borrowing on-chain?

It’s because most platforms have a structural flaw: interest rates.

:chart_increasing: They spike when demand goes up.
:chart_decreasing: They crash when demand drops.
:collision: The result? Borrowers get liquidated.

Here’s how we fixed that :backhand_index_pointing_down:

WeissFi, a decentralized borrowing system live on Sui. It introduces a different model from most on-chain lending platforms, and aims to solve a fundamental issue with how borrowing typically works in DeFi.


:old_key: What WeissFi does differently?

Most borrowing platforms adjust interest rates with volatile market curves — making it impossible to plan long-term.

WeissFi removes that entirely.
No interest rate curve. No auto-adjusting APRs. No governance tweaks.

Instead, you set your own fixed rate when you borrow.

You deposit $SUI as collateral and mint $DORI, our native stablecoin — all on your terms.


:counterclockwise_arrows_button: What balances the system?

So what’s stopping everyone from just borrowing at the lowest possible rate — like 0.5%?

That’s where redemptions come in:

  • If you choose an unrealistically low rate, your vault becomes more likely to be redeemed when $DORI depegs.
  • During a redemption, another user can repay part of your debt (at par) in exchange for a slice of your $SUI collateral.
  • This creates a natural incentive to set fair interest rates, without needing governance or centralized control.

It’s a similar mechanism to what Liquity V2 does with “voluntary” interest rates and redemptions.


:hammer_and_wrench: Stability Pool & Liquidations

To support this, WeissFi includes a Stability Pool:

  • Users can stake $DORI to absorb liquidations and earn from interest payments.
  • In return, they receive yield from the seized collateral and protocol incentives.

:locked: Key design principles

WeissFi is heavily inspired by Liquity V2 and follows some core principles:

  • :white_check_mark: Immutable vault logic
  • :white_check_mark: User-defined interest rates
  • :white_check_mark: No governance over vaults
  • :white_check_mark: Autonomous redemptions + stability via incentives
  • :white_check_mark: Composable, on-chain, no external dependencies

What’s different is that we’ve tailored the model to Sui’s architecture: low latency, native object system, and Move-based smart contracts.


Why we built it

Too often, borrowers in DeFi get blindsided by protocol-level changes: a parameter tweak, an interest rate hike, or a governance vote they didn’t even see.

We wanted to build a protocol that:

  • Makes borrowing predictable
  • Removes the need for constant monitoring
  • Gives users long-term control over their positions

:link: Try it out

We’re live on mainnet. You can:

  • Open a vault with $SUI
  • Mint $DORI
  • Set your own interest rate
  • Stake in the Stability Pool
