SelfKey

This past month has been an exciting one here at SelfKey. We successfully launched our Loans Marketplace after lots of hard work from our R&D and product teams. The Loans Marketplace adds impressive new functionality to the SelfKey Wallet, as you can now easily compare a number of excellent crypto lending platforms. 

Wallet users now have access to some of the best crypto lending platforms on the market. Information such as platform location, the type of lending platform, interest rates, assets accepted, the collateral needed, what is required to receive a loan and more are all clearly laid out. This way it’s easy to see which platforms meet any criteria you have, and which platforms you are eligible to join. 

The Loans Marketplace also has a state-of-the-art loan calculator so you can easily compare and contrast the different crypto lending platforms that are available whether you are looking to lend or borrow. You’ll be able to see which assets are accepted, the interest rates, and more.

If you aren’t a SelfKey Wallet user yet, download it here and get started on your crypto lending journey.
