How to start borrowing at NFTfi?

how-to-start-borrowing

As a borrower, you offer your NFTs as collateral to receive wETH, DAI, or USDC loans from the lender (peer-to-peer).

The loan will start only after you choose and accept the loan offer (that you have received from the lender).

If you default on your loans, the lender will get the NFT that you have put up as collateral. There are no auto-liquidations on NFTfi!

PLEASE NOTE!

This borrowing guide is made using Ethereum testnet. Testnet is used for testing purposes only, the tokens have no monetary value, but testnet works the same as the mainnet.

Please make sure that you have connected your Metamask and are on the Ethereum Mainnet network before you start using NFTfi.

Listing your NFT

Step 1

In order to list your NFT as a collateral on NFTfi, you need to go to your assets page. You can get there by clicking the Borrow wETH/DAI button.

The number of received offers is also shown right under the repayment amount.

Step 5

Once the transaction in step 4 is confirmed, the loan will be executed. At this point, you will receive wETH or DAI in your wallet, and your NFT will be transferred to the escrow smart contract.

Rest assured that no one will have access to your NFT during your loan period, and it will be sent back to your wallet address as soon as you repay the loan.

In order to repay your loan, click Borrow and then choose Loans.
