Today we are proud to release πŸ₯€ SODA version 2.0.

Three and a half months ago we have launched SODA v1.0. In v2.0 we still provide our users with on-chain cryptomagic πŸ’« in order to help them to borrow crypto with Bitcoin as a collateral. SODA v2.0 holds it’s promise and helps to borrow crypto with the lowest borrowing rates on the market.

As you will see it on https://soda.network, our Chief Design Officer, Pavel Tarasenko, has redesigned SODA interfaces and tried his best to improve your experience from using SODA. Daria Gavrilina, our Lead Developer, has built in the interfaces into the system that works. She is a great dev! And of course Dan Gavrilin, CTO of SODA, has written tens of thousand lines of code in order to help you feel the beauty of crypto loans πŸ§™.

Kudos to Pavel, Daria & Dan!

And what are the ten radical improvements of SODA v2.0?
