Ancient8 partners with MetaLend, the Bank of the New Digital Economy

Introduction to MetaLend

Founded in December 2021, the MetaLend protocol enables traders to use NFTs as collateral to take out loans, starting with a focus on the GameFi sector. MetaLend empowers NFT owners to continue to utilize their assets to generate yield while the assets are being used as collateral for the loans.

After receiving an appraisal of their digital assets by MetaLend, traders are able to borrow up to 30% of the value of their NFT, with loans being disbursed in ETH. Based on these loans, liquidity is provided by lenders looking to earn interest, APY is set by utilization of the liquidity pool with an anticipated range of 5-10%.

More than half of all crypto wallets created in the second half of 2021 were for play-to-earn use cases, driven by mass adoption of GameFi. With an initial focus on Axie Infinity, MetaLend works with game guilds and scholar programs that are looking for additional liquidity to grow their already profitable operations, and plans to expand to other games and use cases wherever NFTs are adopted.

As a global-facing protocol, MetaLend works with guilds and gamers from around the world, helping them solve their financial needs. With the help of our dear friend Ancient8, we are confident to aim high and bring value to the GameFi market.
