Interest rates, transaction speed, document fee, etc. that banks cannot provide. It uses the power of blockchain and cryptocurrencies on issues such as not buying.
80% of the income generated by the platform is distributed to platform users. Thus, both CEL holders are rewarded and it is aimed to reach new users. 20% is used for the development of the platform. You can also trade with very low amounts, as there is no set minimum amount for borrowing and lending on the platform.
