4. Which NFT Collections can be Used as Collateral?

Only NFT collections in the whitelist can be used as collateral. Additionally, these NFTs cannot be suspected as stolen or deleted, and must have received a valid loan offer (i.e. a lender willing to lend you wETH).

5. How does X2Y2 Fi exclude suspicious NFTs from OpenSea or other marketplaces? X2Y2 Fi has two methods to rule out suspicious NFTs.

X2Y2 Loan has two methods for ruling out suspicious NFTs. The first method is static interception, which involves checking for blacklist projects in a local database when a borrower sends a loan request. Any unusual events, such as the theft of NFTs owned by celebrities or influencers, will be immediately added to the local database to intercept blacklist projects. X2Y2 Fi regularly updates the local database by querying the marked projects, excluding abnormal ones, and removing them from the blacklist.

The second method is dynamic interception, which involves conducting a real-time online suspect query on Opensea after no abnormalities are found in the local database. This ensures that users do not lend or borrow suspicious NFTs and avoids the risk of irretrievable assets.
