Interesting project… how do you factor in Corona-driven loss of jobs & loss of income into the defaulting for micro loans in France?

Also, when I looked at the Bling website it seemed like the loans are free (may be my mistake). Where does the money for the interest rates on TIN and DROP come from?

Thanks & kind regards,

Being part of the fund that supported this project and its fork had generate at the time some hatred and some strong reactions. Indeed if I could go back in time I would have stay away from this and done something else. If you have a specific question about the present - happy to answer it.

Hi Everyone,

There is currently no available liquidity which is preventing redemptions. Once additional liquidity is added redemptions will be begin to process at the conclusion of the epoch.

The way it works:
At the end of the epoch, all locked orders will be processed and executed at the current TIN/DROP prices considering the max reserve amount, min TIN risk buffer and available liquidity is enough to cover redemptions. If part of the redemption could not be executed, it will be rolled over into the next epoch and these tokens remain locked. After the epoch turn, investors can collect the DAI from the executed orders in the UI. This locked order can be cancelled at any time.

For additional reading on the process please review the link below:

Regards,

Jay

I also just redeemed my DAI. I just want my investment back. Can someone solve this problem of liquidity. The last reply about was 12 days ago and it shocked me that there no response. So its like great in communicating when you need DAI but no communicating when the investors need his own DAI.

Anyhow, I need the DAI back.

Sorry for the delay. Did you contact the support already with your claiming issue?

Hi @baracuda and @kitch ,

sorry to hear that you can’t redeem right now. But since it’s dependent on the issuer I can give you a rough estimate of 30 June that’s when the underlying off-chain collateral will be paid back. Due to mismatch in the on-chain structure. @Fabien can confirm if this is still up-to-date.

Please accept our apologies for the unusual long delay here — in the future please feel free to contact us directly via DM on discord or via email.

We definitely hear you and understand your need to redeem the DAI previously deployed in the pool and we are sorry for the delay you are currently experiencing. We had to manage a massive volume of redemption within the pool during this last couple months and even if our model since day 1 include a liquidity buffer, and a line of credit from our VC fund, it was clearly not sufficient to absorb this redemption volume in such a short period of time.
We completely understand the value of having access to liquidity during a bear market and in order to facilitate, honor the current redemptions we will be adding some additional liquidity by the end of the month, and will add a significant amount of liquidity June 30th by reducing the pool size.

That being said, as describe in various documents such the PPM and the subscription agreement it takes in our configuration 90days to sell the underlying assets and recreate the necessary buffer/liquidity.

We are very excited and grateful to be part of this journey and feel like RWA are the next frontier in DeFi — a more stable and sustainable path forward.
On the flip side, at this stage nothing about Tokenize RWA (debt security) can be instant and the premium (APY) is also reflecting it.

I will be working and posting a more in depth update on both Blind and Branch in a few.

Thanks @Fab @annamehr for the reply. It is a madhouse on the market right now and I think I understand why we should wait before we can withdraw. Please keep up this level of communication with this board. Everything we need now is transparency and communication. Without communication it become suspicious. Again thanks!

Many thanks to all!

Good day jdvs

After redeeming you should wait for the execution of the epoch and once the epoch will be executed you should claim ( MANUALLY) your DAI.

I just checked the Pool situation (1754 Factory):
Liquidity Available liquidity 0 DAI

This is mean that you can not withdraw your DAI now, but please check Fabien`s message:

We will start providing liquidity for this pool within the next 48h.
Thank you for your message and for your patience.

So the liquidity will be available soon. Please check manually this page:
