Lending protocol on Ethereum and other chains: people deposit crypto into shared pools to earn interest, and others borrow against collateral held by the protocol's smart contracts, which sell it automatically if its value falls too far.
Directory
Crypto lending
Companies and protocols that lend against crypto collateral or pay interest on deposited crypto. Every listing says what a company is good for and what to watch out for. Sponsors can buy placement here. They can never buy a rating, and the methodology page says so in writing.
Free to ask, free to be listed. A person reads every request, and we reply either way.
