We are proud to announce that our baby has born: the Baiji release with all of its new amazing features has been launched today! ETHLend has evolved again.

Right before Christmas, we launched Baiji in Kovan testnet, as you can read here. After the bug bounty and, as usual, the precious help of the community, we are finally ready to announce the launch on Ethereum!

Our Users Can Now Borrow Against BTC 👑 and DAI📌

We are very happy with the result of our hard work of the last months, especially for the introduction of Bitcoin interoperability: from now on, users can borrow against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin lending represents a huge step since for the first time in the crypto backed lending market, through ETHLend borrowers can propose their own interest rates for Bitcoin loans in a peer-to-peer marketplace.

Also, our users have now the possibility to borrow against DAI, winner of our first community vote for stablecoins, becoming the first stablecoin that will be available in ETHLend. This is another big step towards the best user experience you can get from a crypto lennding marketplace.

Moreover, we introduced a lot of other new features, which are listed here.
