Use cases

  1. Refinancing. Refinance your interest to a lower interest in another lending protocol. Taking flash loan from Aave in Dai, closing a CDP by sending the Dai to the CDP, taking the ETH which was as a collateral to Compound (whichever has better interest rate for borrowers)
  2. Closing CDP. The same as above but just closing the CDP without any DAI.
  3. Arbitrage.
