❓FAQs
What is Zumer?
Zumer Protocol is a non-custodial liquidity protocol with a novel credit and liquidity risk management mechanism to allow permissionless loan origination for NFT assets by segregating different risks to different liquidity providers.
Lenders supply liquidity in either the lending pool or provisioning pool for each NFT collection to earn yields.
Borrowers are able to Buy Now Pay Later from NFT marketplaces such as LooksRare and OpenSea, or directly use the supported NFTs in their wallet as collateral to borrow from the pool.
How is Zumer different from other NFT lending protocols?
The main feature that sets Zumer apart from other on-chain NFT lending protocols is managing risks by separating lender liquidity into the lending pool and provisioning pool, ensuring much better protection for the lenders against loan defaults.
Additionally, liquidity providers are able to trade their deposit positions as NFTs, opening up possibilities for trading derivatives in a secondary market.
