In a market as volatile as crypto, features such as stability and price protection of some sort could be very welcome for all users. They’re not always available, though, let alone if you’re looking to earn some rewards. Luckily, the token LINE deployed on the Kava network and connected to Obyte is offering this opportunity to everyone.
Then, if the price of LINE tokens rises, users can profitably sell them on the same platform and settle their loans. Conversely, if the price decreases, users can repay the loan with their LINE tokens and retrieve their GBYTE collateral, minus fees, ensuring that their principal investment remains almost intact. The price of LINE tokens is determined by market dynamics, and to stabilize it, mechanisms such as interest rate adjustments and origination fees are employed.

This mechanism not only encourages participation but also provides a means for users to earn rewards while minimizing risk, as the price-protected nature of the LINE token ensures that users can manage potential price fluctuations effectively. Currently, the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of this method is around 60% (see
