Core concepts explained in a simple manner

Summary

  • Users - who's involved: service providers, asset owners, and renters.
  • Warpers - create a rentable copy of an Original Asset (called a Warped Asset), that needs to be integrated into your service. They are also in control over renting business logic.
  • IQVerse - represents your service in IQ Protocol. As an IQVerse owner you have the associated IQVerse NFT, that allows to alter its parameters.
  • Trustless & riskless renting - the approach where a renter does not need to
    • provide any collateral to get the asset rented;
    • and return the rented asset once it expires, since it works automatically without a blockchain transaction.
  • Rental fees - whenever a user rents an asset, the payment costs are split into 3 parts: a part goes to the Original Asset owner who listed it, another part to the IQVerse and the last one to the IQ Protocol.
