  This paper presents our methodology to simulate the behavior of the DeLend
Platform. Such simulations are important to verify if the system is able to
connect the different sets of agents linked to the platform in a functional
manner. They also provide inputs to guide the choices of operational
parameters, such as the platform spread, and strategies by DeLend, since they
estimate how the key variables of interest respond to different policies. We
discuss the methodology and provide examples meant to clarify the approach and
to how we intend to use the tool in practice -- they should not be interpreted
as representative of real life scenarios.
