Exciting Announcement from #DecentraLounge by GlobalStake! The FULL episode with Kamen Trendafilov, MBA, ACCA, CIA the Co-Founder of Nolus.io is now LIVE! Kamen outlines: Nolus is a semi-permissioned blockchain bridging lenders and borrowers in a DeFi money market. With its DeFi Lease, borrowers can secure up to 150% financing on their initial investments, and access to the underlying leveraged assets through whitelisted strategies. How Lending Works on Nolus.io: With the Nolus DeFi Lease, users can deposit cryptocurrency into the Nolus Protocol and receive up to 150% financing on the initial investment, gaining additional exposure to tokens while addressing crypto’s stringent over-collateralization requirements. Plus additional more insights… Inspired by traditional leasing, where one pays a fraction upfront and gains ownership after repayment, Nolus’ approach cuts down the DeFi sector’s high over-collateralization standards. This boosts capital efficiency and offers borrowers better loan terms.
