BENQI

BENQI is a (DeFi) protocol built on the , offering a suite of services including , lending, borrowing, and validator bootstrapping. It aims to provide accessible and efficient DeFi solutions within the Avalanche ecosystem, becoming a prominent application by (TVL) on the network. [1]

Overview

BENQI operates as a comprehensive hub on , designed to facilitate various financial activities for users. The protocol's core offerings include a lending and borrowing platform, a solution for AVAX, and tools for bootstrapping Avalanche . BENQI's objective is to simplify participation in decentralized finance by addressing common barriers such as high capital requirements and technical complexities associated with running blockchain infrastructure.

The protocol has established itself as a leading application on , distinguished by its deep liquidity and extensive integrations across the broader landscape. Its primary products are designed to provide utility and yield opportunities for digital assets, particularly AVAX, the native token of the network. [1] [6] [2] [7]

Technology

BENQI's architecture is built on the C-Chain, leveraging its high throughput and low transaction fees. The protocol comprises four main products, each serving a distinct function within the ecosystem: BENQI , BENQI Markets, Ignite, and Voting [1].

BENQI Liquid Staking (BLS)

BENQI Liquid Staking allows users to stake their tokens and receive sAVAX, a token. This sAVAX continually accrues value in AVAX and can be utilized across various DeFi protocols, including BENQI's own lending and borrowing platform, to earn additional yield while maintaining liquidity. A key feature of BLS is the ability for users to stake directly from the Avalanche C-Chain, eliminating the need to bridge assets to the P-Chain [2]. The sAVAX token is designed to be widely integrated throughout the Avalanche ecosystem, providing flexibility for users to engage in other [1].

BENQI Markets (BLM)

BENQI Markets is a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol where users can supply their assets to earn interest or borrow funds through over-collateralized loans. The platform provides a user interface for monitoring all positions. It features two primary market types:

  • Core Markets: These are designed for highly liquid assets such as AVAX and , serving as the main lending and borrowing pools.
  • Avalanche Ecosystem Markets: These markets support a broader range of assets, including long-tail and tokenized (RWAs). They incorporate specialized risk management frameworks to prevent volatility or liquidity issues in one market from affecting others, offering greater flexibility for participants [2] [1].

Ignite

Ignite is a solution developed by BENQI to simplify the process of launching and operating validators and Subnets. It addresses the technical complexities and significant upfront capital typically required for deployment. Ignite offers two main options:

  • Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG): This option allows users to run a validator by paying a weekly fee, without requiring a large upfront stake. It is suitable for short-term use cases, such as MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) solvers.
  • Stake: Users can stake QI tokens and cover hosting fees to run automated , earning QI rewards without needing to manage technical details [2] [1].

Node Voting

Voting is a governance feature that enables holders of BENQI Miles tokens to support specific validators on the network. This mechanism influences how AVAX from BENQI’s Liquid Staking Pool is delegated to . The pool allocates AVAX with a 35/65 delegation split: 35% is delegated based on community votes via BENQI Miles, while the remaining 65% is randomly allocated to all validators meeting minimum criteria. BENQI Miles can be accrued through a "Flex Option," where miles accumulate gradually as users stake their QI, with full benefits after a specified period. A "Lock Option" is a planned feature that would allow instant mile accrual upon , but with a delayed exit period for unstaking [2] [1].

Tokenomics

The native and of the BENQI ecosystem is QI. It plays a crucial role in the protocol's decentralized governance and various utility functions.

  • Governance: QI token holders can vote on BENQI Improvement Proposals (BIPs), which dictate the future direction and changes to the protocol. Holding QI tokens is also a prerequisite for initiating new proposals [3].
  • Utility: QI tokens are distributed through a liquidity mining program to incentivize users to provide liquidity. Additionally, QI can be staked on BENQI to receive veQI, a utility token that enables additional AVAX delegations to high-performing [3].

Security

BENQI prioritizes security through rigorous audits and maintaining a public, open-source codebase to ensure transparency and mitigate risks. While no blockchain protocol is entirely risk-free, BENQI acknowledges potential and liquidation risks. To address these, the protocol partners with leading security firms for continuous monitoring and protection [1].

BENQI's security partners include:

  • Chaos Labs: Provides risk management and analytics [2].
  • Hexagate: Offers real-time prevention solutions [2].
  • Immunefi: Operates a bug bounty program for the protocol [2].
  • zeroShadow: Contributes to security measures [2].

Partnerships

BENQI has formed strategic partnerships to enhance its ecosystem and expand its offerings. Its foundational partnership is with , the blockchain on which the protocol is built, including a joint $3 million liquidity mining initiative launched in August 2021 to accelerate growth on the network.

In addition to its core platform, BENQI has collaborated with other projects within the ecosystem. For instance, it launched initial Isolated Markets with and Coq Inu Avax in July 2024, expanding its lending and borrowing capabilities to a wider range of assets. The protocol also integrated its sAVAX token with Anchor Protocol and Terra Money in February 2022, further increasing the utility and interoperability of sAVAX across different platforms. [5]
