Don't know how bonuses work? 🤔

You've got questions, we've got answers.

Last time we asked, 36% of people said they don't know anything about them.

🔘 While our retrodrop is live, you'll get a 100% bonus on every investment (each new investment = new bonus)
🔘 Track them in your personal account on 8lends
🔘 When the retrodrop ends, bonuses turn into $8LENDS tokens — you can sell or reinvest (1 bonus = 1 $8LENDS).

This Is How to Multiply Your Money With BTC or ETH

This strategy works best if you hold BTC or ETH long-term:

1️⃣ Lock your BTC in a protocol and borrow USDC against it
2️⃣ Invest that USDC in any project on 8lends with 22% APY
3️⃣ Collateral costs ~5% a year, but BTC's price growth covers that

The result:

☑️ Your BTC keeps growing in value
☑️ You earn ~17% extra in USDC on top

But keep in mind:

🔘 You can only borrow up to ~85% of your BTC
🔘 If BTC drops 15%, your loan may be liquidated (unless you add more collateral)

So manage it carefully: this strategy can build passive income, but there are always risks.

Don't put all your BTC or ETH into this one. Diversify.

⚠️ Not financial advice, just one way to make the most out of your holdings.

KYC Is Safe And We're Making It Simpler

We've received some questions from you about KYC:

Is KYC safe?

☑️ Our activity is regulated, verified, and monitored by an SRO (Self-Regulatory Organization)

↗️ Read more here.

Right now, we're also working to make the KYC process simpler and faster for you.

What’s a Stage and What Do You Invest In?

When investing in different projects, you might ask yourself:

Why is the funding amount so small?

☑ Because it's a stage.

You may have also noticed that projects raise funds several times.

☑ That's because we divide one loan into multiple stages.

Here's how it works:

🔘 Suppose a company needs to raise $500,000.
🔘 We split this into 10 stages of $50,000 each.
🔘 Once a stage is funded, the company repays every investor principal + interest.
🔘 The cycle repeats until the company raises the full $500,000 and repays all investors.

This approach makes it easier for both investors and companies to track progress and manage investments.

⚡ Paid back to investors so far: $237,280

Tokenized DeFi Private Loans Hit $16B! ⚡

APR dropped below 10%, but it stays the same on 8lends 👍

Here's what data on rwa.xyz shows:

🔘 $15.95B active loans today (+14% since June)
🔘 $29.74B total loans across 2,952 deals
🔘 Average APR fell from 10.33% to 9.75%

The amount of deals slipped from 2,665 to 2,592, but that's NOT A BAD SIGN!

On the contrary, the quality of deals is rising! Deals become BIGGER! 📈

Competitors are growing too, but their focus has moved from money to security.

Defaults are still a headache for most DeFi lending protocols.

🔒 But not for 8lends and Maclear: 0 defaults in 5+ years.

The growing volumes prove one thing: DeFi lending is becoming the next big force in finance. And banks may struggle against this kind of competition...

🌐 DeFi lending is a decentralized system that protects everyone from monopolies.
Sooner or later, banks will be relics of the past.

What do you think? Is DeFi's future really as bright as we describe, or not quite?

Real wealth is...

We don't often write about self-growth, but this time's an exception.

🤥 As we said before, some people tried to scam us. We won't be able to get rid of scammers, but we still want to tell you something.

There are two types of people: those who create value and those who consume it. This is how our society and nature work, and that's perfectly fine.

💲 We live in a time of heavy consumption.

We can eat and drink endlessly, buy more stuff and experiences, and live amazing lives.

💭 But imagine this: you haven't had water for a while, and suddenly someone gives you an unlimited supply, forcing you to drink it all. You'd die.

If you always try to consume everything, it turns into a destructive lifestyle.

But is that really wealth? An endless supply of everything...?

💎 Real wealth is having skills, loving your work, and bringing value to the world around you.

Money is just the result.

❓ What do you think about these types of posts? Should we keep doing them or not?

We don't know what tomorrow brings.

We can predict. We can guess.
But we can't foresee everything.
