Maple’s New Groove
Since we launched Maple Loans in February we thought hard about how to improve the UX for you. We thought, we iterated and now we’ve shipped 📦
We are thrilled to unveil the new Maple Loans front end.
Maple Loans started as a proof of concept in February 2020 after an epic 5 week sprint taking it from 💭 to live on mainnet. Rapid prototyping is great but the front end needed to catch up to delight our users 🥳. It needed to be EASY TO JOIN, EASY TO LEND and EASY TO BORROW.

🕵🏻♂️ Borrower credit scores
Maple is the first crypto lending platform to integrate a credit score. This marks a huge leap for undercollateralized lending.
We partnered with Credmark to showcase their Clear Score. The next gen credit score of crypto — showing how good a borrower’s repayment history on other DeFi protocols is. Borrower addresses are graded 0(worst)–1000(best) based on their usage of Maker, Compound, Nuo and others. Users start with a low score and level up when they build repayment history 🎮
📊 Portfolio Dashboard
Lenders have a portfolio view of forecast earnings. They can see upcoming repayments and track any missed payments.

Maple is the first crypto lending platform to integrate credit scores in the lending process. This marks a huge leap for undercollateralized lending.
What’s Next 🔮
For undercollateralized lending to take off, its needs to attract Lenders by managing risk.
Reducing Risk for Lenders
Maple is a destination for Borrowers whose needs aren’t being met by traditional finance. Remote/gig economy workers, DeFi investors, digital businesses, gamers & collectors. Assessment of their credit risk is evolving.
While it evolves Maple will introduce ETH, RealT, tBTC, wBTC as collateral to boost security. For example Borrower Bob may offer 70% RealT as collateral with his loan request to get a better interest rate from Lenders. Attracted by the added protection of the collateral, Lenders will accept a lower interest rate from Bob. Better rates bring more Borrowers and the collateral brings more Lenders in a virtuous cycle.
