About

NFTfi is a Cape Town-based peer-to-peer NFT-collateralized lending protocol founded in 2017, enabling NFT holders to borrow ETH and other cryptocurrencies by using their ERC-721 tokens as collateral. Lenders set their own terms and the collateral is held in a secure smart contract for the duration of the loan, returning to the borrower upon repayment or to the lender upon default. The platform processed nearly $737M in lifetime loan volume across six years with zero security exploits, later evolving into an NFT lending aggregator before shutting down in 2026.
