Maple Loans is proud to announce it’s supporting DeFi’s first undercollateralized loan to a DAO 🎉 This paves the way for other DAOs to borrow in future.

Members of Unstoppable Lending community on maple.loans can fund part of the loan (in increments of 10 DAI) and earn 14% APR over 12 months (compared with 4.75% on Compound as at 20 March 2020).

BrightID loves to push the boundaries of what is possible with DAOs and we are excited to be working with Maple to show that a DAO can be an excellent borrower. We hope and believe that accessing debt will become a regular practice that can help accelerate the growth and success of many DAOs.
