Hey HN! We're the team behind Dharma protocol, building the infrastructure for the tokenized debt agreements on the Ethereum blockchain. In this code school, we teach you how to build a loan collateralized by a CryptoKitty. We hope you enjoy! If you're interested in learning more visit us at dharma.io or join our chat.

Hi, let's say someone wanted to work at dharma.io. What sort of Ethereum skills would you look for?

I found this project the other day after doing a deep dive into the 0x project. This is a cool project and I am impressed with the level of thought and detail gone into planning this protocol. I have a question about governance. The 0x project essentially plans to set up a DAO that will promote/depricate old/new versions of their protocol, and stakeholders will have a say using the 0x protocol token. How do you plan to implement governance? Through some sort of token model similar to 0x? Thanks!

This is a clever idea. I've long been skeptical of debt on blockchains b/c there aren't good means of enforcing repayment without resorting to trusted irl/off-chain components, and then why bother doing it on chain in the first place.

But collateralizing with digital assets created on-chain is a really interesting approach, obvious in hindsight, but perhaps requiring the prerequisite of real implementation of unique collectible digital assets that retain value. Collateral can be cryptographically locked up and payment enforced in the event of default, all trustlessly. Are you guys the first to do this or are there any others doing this too?
