【Abstract】This study proposes a simple two-period model to consider consumers' borrowing behaviour in a decentralised consensus and information distribution platform. Based on this model, we develop a bank risk mitigation framework and find that decentralised digital identity and encryption technology are the most important factors for attaining market equilibrium between decentralised consensus and information distribution. Specifically, the greater the scope of digital identity construction and the more blockchain consensus records there are, the less likely the borrower will default. Our study provides meaningful practical implications for bankers and policy regulators to help them better understand consumers' borrowing behaviour and decisions to default.
