This is just a thought I had, maybe more knowledge community members can help tell me why this wouldn't be feasible but I was wondering if the aiUSD Borrow Rate could be boosted by allowing people to stake ALCX. People who Stake a certain amount of ALCX could get a tiered amount of % increases like 1 inch does with their Gas Refund. As an example it could work like this:
50% Borrow ---- No ALCX Staked
55% Borrow ---- 1 ALCX Staked
60% Borrow ---- 5 ALCX Staked
65% Borrow ---- 10 ALCX Staked
70% Borrow ---- 100 ALCX Staked
This would give the token greater utilitiy and create a "locking mechanism" since people would have to first reduce their borrow rate before withdrawing their ALCX. At the same time the Platform would extend it's utility for users, it's a win win however you look at it and 70% seems perfectly reasonable as compared to other platforms like abracadabra that are keeping borrow rates on stables as high as 90%.
