ICO Analysis: BlockMason Credit Protocol

BlockMason wants to enable anyone to be able to participate in the offering and partaking of credit, through the miracle of blockchain technology.

With the Credit Protocol, BlockMason has taken the next logical step in the decentralized economy: democratizing the creation of credit. Debt and credit are already extremely powerful financial tools, and now they will be strengthened by the security and flexibility of the blockchain. In fact, because an individual need not own ether in order to draw debt in ether, it is entirely possible to imagine a future in which debts and credits recorded on the Credit Protocol could exceed the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined, dramatically increasing the scale of the digital economy.

They aim to do this by creating a platform and a protocol for the measuring, establishment, payment, and transfer of credits and debts. While there are platforms like SALT Lending that want to enable people to get credit based on their crypto holdings, it would seem that crypto holdings would be only one asset considered when someone went to get a loan on the Credit Protocol system.
