While the DeFi industry on chains like Solana and Ethereum may look depressing, Cardano developers are more than happy to take their part in the cleansed niche and present their own solutions. One of those projects offers loans backed by Cardano NFTs.
Users are already using the platform's full potential by loaning ADA to anyone who is willing to use their NFT assets as collateral via smart contracts. Such NFT pieces as Clay Nation can be used for backing any kind of loan.
