NFTfi is a peer-to-peer lending marketplace that specializes in NFT collateralized loans. It allows NFT holders to leverage their digital assets as collateral to secure cryptocurrency loans from lenders. When an NFT holder accepts a loan offer, the NFT is placed in a secure escrow smart contract while the corresponding cryptocurrency, such as wETH, DAI, or USDC, is transferred directly to the borrower's wallet. This innovative platform provides liquidity to NFT owners, enabling them to access cash without the need to sell their valuable digital assets. By utilizing a valuation approach similar to that of traditional art financing, NFTfi helps users determine the worth of their NFTs for loan purposes.
