Borrow on your own terms.

When borrowing, you may choose the NFT with the most optimal valuation, collateral requirement, and loan duration for your circumstances. Upon repayment, you will only pay interest proportional to the time elapsed relative to the loan duration; you will only need to worry about liquidation if you do not repay your loan before the end date. In the event that you are liquidated, you will forfeit all of your collateral to the lender but will remain the owner of the NFT.
