Aiham Jaabari (Silo Finance)
• Project goal: Build a Telegram bot to notify users about risky borrow positions
• Key challenge: Developing a backend system to monitor all positions
• User focus:
- Borrowers are their most important users
- Aim to prevent liquidations entirely
• Liquidation prevention strategies:
- Repaying debt (partial or full) is the best approach
- Adding collateral is less effective
- Cross-collateral rebalancing is a separate consideration
• Current market structure:
- Isolated lending market
- Separate health factor for each position
• Proposed solution:
- Monitor health factor and alert users when it drops below a certain point
- Allow users to set custom alert thresholds
- Notify users through various channels (e.g., Telegram)
• Technical considerations:
- Need to monitor thousands of positions block by block
- Each wallet may have multiple positions
• Implementation challenges:
- Limited internal bandwidth for development
- Complexity of monitoring numerous positions simultaneously
• Desired features:
- User-defined health factor thresholds
- Telegram notifications
• Historical context:
- Similar solution previously used by Aave
- Consensys acquired and discontinued that solution
• Collaboration options:
- Willing to provide a grant for development
- Open to purchasing a solution
- Their backend engineer could potentially collaborate
• Additional notes:
- Prefer an open-source approach
- Willing to support the project in various ways
