Introduction

What is Permapod?
Permapod is a non custodial DeFi protocol built on Zigchain, part of the Cosmos ecosystem. It enables users to deposit assets as collateral and borrow stablecoins or other tokens in a secure, decentralized environment.
Permapod mission is to bridge on-chain finance with Real World Assets (RWAs) — such as real estate, infrastructure, and energy plants — to create sustainable yield opportunities and expand liquidity beyond crypto-native markets.
Supported Assets
Permapod supports 2 categories of collateral:
- Cryptocurrencies – available at launch to ensure instant usability and support Zigchain’s native liquidity.
- RWAs (Real World Assets) – progressively integrated after launch. These are tokenized, income-generating assets whose listing depends on valuation, insurance coverage, and regulatory compliance.
Key Principles
- Lending & Borrowing – users can lock approved assets to borrow other tokens.
- RWA Integration – each RWA token is:
- Issued by a regulated third party, not by Permapod itself.
- Insured and periodically revalued through oracles and reserve auditors.
- Linked to verifiable and transferable ownership rights.
- Income Dynamics – income from the underlying asset supports loan repayment or generates passive yield for the borrower.
- Systemic Stability – powered by a modular architecture featuring:
- An automated liquidation engine.
- Reliable oracles with fallback mechanisms.
- Asset-specific Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios for each RWA category.

Why Zigchain?
Permapod chose Zigchain for its structural advantages within the Cosmos ecosystem:
- IBC-native liquidity ensuring seamless cross-chain interactions.
- Modular architecture ideal for specialized DeFi applications.
- Regulatory and economic alignment with the UAE, a rapidly developing RWA hub.
Zigchain benefits from a growing regulatory framework supporting DeFi experimentation. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) and VARA are establishing a national standard for blockchain-based property tokenization.
