Cryptocurrencies and fiat (more easily understood as day to day spendable money) have a lot in common; characteristics that were once solely attributable to physical money are now also shared by cryptocurrencies, so it is a natural occurrence for experts in fiat or physical money to be interested in the cryptocurrency space. Banks and other financial institutions are tapping into the blockchain and smart contracts technology to create a unified and transparent financial environment.
Be that as it may, the gap between this two types of monies still exist. Despite the rapid growth in the popularity of cryptocurrencies, their use in everyday life remains somewhat limited due to Various reasons, ranging from fluctuations in value of cryptocurrencies, to interoperability between crypto and fiat mechanisms. The project am reviewing today aims to, amongst other things, bridge the gap between crypto and real life currencies by creating tools such as crypto backed loans, which will help make cryptocurrrencies more acceptable and ultimately drive the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies in general.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VIAZ AND TEZOS
You may be wondering why the Viaz team chose to use the Tezos blockchain. Let me just touch a little on the Tezos blockchain so as to help you see that the Viaz team made a good choice. The Tezos blockchain project that is revolutionizing blockchain technology through its on-chain governance that promises an innovative self-amending distributed network. Tezos is a permissionless network that improves previous generations of blockchains such as bitcoin and Ethereum. Tezo started its ICO in 2017 and was able to raise $232 million dollars towards the development of its blockchain and management. Tezos is a new blockchain that explores new ideas and systems to deliver a safer, more robust chain. Built on OCaml, a functional programming language used for other financial based projects, Tezos implements a delegated proof of stake consensus method. This is more power-efficient and provides a stronger consensus mechanism than the proof-of-work (which is currently in use by Ethereum and Bitcoin). VIAZ plans to tap on the technology provided by Tezo towards developing its platform on the Tezo blockchain and make use of this features such as Tezo smart contracts and distributed ledgers towards providing the first peer to peer lending platform on Tezo blockchain.

THE VIAZ TOKEN
The VIAZ Tokens are the native token of the VIAZ Platform. Token holders are rewarded with monthly airdrops based on their participation in the following Platform Related Actions (or “PRAs”):
Using Tokens as Collateral for Loans:
We want to allow users to utilize their Tokens as collateral for loans on the VIAZ Platform. To incentivize this activity, Token-backed loans will incur a reduced service fee (currently this is a 50% discount, although this may change in future). The use of Tokens as collateral will also reduce the available supply of Tokens on the market.Selling Tokens Through The VIAZ Platform:
VIAZ Platform loan repayments are made of three elements, payment on the principal, interest payment and a service fee. The interest payment and service fee must be paid in Tokens (at the fiat equivalent value at the time of the repayment). This generates a demand for Tokens, as borrowers will need to own and/or acquire Tokens to meet their monthly repayments. To assist with this, the VIAZ Platform will allow Token holders to create sell-offers. Users will be able to set the desired price (in USD), and stake any amount of Tokens they wish. This provides instant liquidity, now borrowers are not burdened with the hassle of having to acquire Tokens; they can simply make the full repayment in fiat, using the VIAZ Platform to automatically acquire the required Tokens behind the scenes.
