What Is Scallop (SCLP)?

Scallop (SCLP) aims to be a regulated decentralized finance (DeFi) banking application that allows retail and institutional users to profit from decentralized ecosystems. The main objective of Scallop aims to mainstream DeFi activities.

Cryptocurrency acceptance has steadily grown with a gradual increase in use cases. However, swapping funds between centralized and decentralized financial ecosystems is still cumbersome. Also, complex DeFi structures create entry barriers for large-scale adoption. Users cannot easily convert cryptocurrencies to conventional assets used in everyday transactions. To address this, the whitepaper highlights that Scallop aims to use the blockchain to provide consumers with financial solutions that are secure and reliable.

The resulting environment seeks to be secure, but it is also user friendly. Scallop's technology aims to provide tools for customers to benefit from the cryptocurrency market without the complication or ambiguity that has hitherto accompanied their use. Focusing on this, Scallop aims to make the platform more accessible for both crypto knowledgeable users and novices by combining the comfort of an ordinary payment card to be easily used in the DeFi ecosystem.

According to the whitepaper, the Scallop token (SCLP) is a Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network utility token. Binance Smart Chain is a parallel chain that runs smart contracts on the Binance exchange. Smart contracts are just like regular contracts; however, instead of being drafted on paper, these contracts run in the form of protocols on the blockchain. Scallop developers chose BSC due to its broad range of DeFi capabilities. SCLP tokens can be used to pay for the exchange/transaction costs, monthly management fee, institutional management fee, loading & unloading fee, and token hosting fee.
