Lending Protocol Arcadia Finance

On this episode I’m joined by Jasper and Thomas, the co-founder developers of Arcadia Finance. Arcadia is a forthcoming lending protocol whose modular contract architecture will allow users to deposit any onchain asset into a user-controlled vault, and withdraw a credit line against it. Arcadia lets users combine several types of collateral into a single basket, and for loans to be borrowed against the cumulative value of the vault. A vault could contain NFTs, fungibles, and future asset types that have yet to be invented. Jasper and Thomas explain how this architecture allows for risk diversification and even more sophisticated funding strategies in the future.

I had an exciting conversation with Jasper and Thomas.
