Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional lending systems are used, then operational simplicity is maintained, but information transparency and reliability are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The lending platform is divided into multiple independent microservices including data collection service, monitoring service, blockchain service, smart contract service, and validation service. Each microservice handles specific functions independently, allowing the system to achieve high information transparency through specialized components without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
A shared infrastructure platform acts as an intermediary between lenders and borrowers, providing centralized data collection, monitoring, and validation services. This intermediary layer ensures information transparency and reliability by verifying data through multiple services (crowdsourcing, IoT, social network monitoring) before making it available to transaction participants.
2Productivity
If manual loan management processes are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but transaction efficiency and productivity are low
Solution Approach 1:
The platform implements self-service mechanisms through smart contracts that automatically execute loan agreements, interest rate adjustments, and debt restructuring based on pre-defined conditions. The system autonomously validates guarantees through integrated monitoring services and adjusts transaction terms without requiring manual intervention, significantly improving transaction efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring service continuously collects data from crowdsourcing, IoT devices, and social networks, providing real-time feedback to the smart contract service. This feedback loop enables automatic adjustment of interest rates and loan terms based on actual borrower performance and external conditions, enhancing transaction efficiency through dynamic, data-driven decision-making.
3Adaptability or versatility
If static interest rates are used, then regulatory compliance is simplified, but adaptability to market conditions and borrower reliability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The smart contract service implements dynamic interest rate adjustment mechanisms that automatically modify loan terms based on real-time data from monitoring services. Interest rates adapt to changing market conditions, borrower reliability indicators from social networks, and IoT-collected operational data, allowing the system to respond flexibly to various scenarios without manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform changes key loan parameters (interest rates, repayment terms, collateral requirements) based on validated data from multiple sources. The smart contract service automatically adjusts these parameters according to pre-programmed conditions triggered by monitoring service alerts, enabling adaptive rate adjustment while maintaining regulatory compliance through automated rule enforcement.
4Reliability
If extensive manual validation is performed, then guarantee reliability is improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring service continuously collects and validates data from crowdsourcing, IoT devices, and social networks before loan transactions occur. This preliminary validation establishes baseline reliability metrics and risk profiles, allowing the smart contract service to make rapid assurance decisions during actual transactions without requiring extensive manual verification at the time of lending.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform replaces manual validation processes with automated electronic monitoring and data analysis systems. The monitoring service uses algorithms to continuously assess borrower reliability through social network analysis, IoT device data, and crowdsourced information, substituting human validators with automated systems that provide equivalent or superior reliability assessment speed and accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A system may include a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for execution and one or more processors that execute the instructions. The instructions may cause the one or more processors to configure at least one parameter of a crowdsourcing request related to obtaining information relating to a collateral for a loan, publish the crowdsourcing request related to obtaining the information relating to the collateral for the loan to a group of information suppliers, collect and process a response from an information supplier of the group of information suppliers, where the response includes information on a condition of the collateral for the loan, process the response provided by the information supplier to determine whether an information supply event relating to the response is successful, and respond to a determination of a successful information supply event.
