What Is Nexo (NEXO)?
Nexo is a blockchain-based lending platform for cryptocurrency-backed loans.
Users can deposit tokens accepted on the platform; for example, Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc., as collateral for loans in the form of stablecoin or fiat currency.
The project was launched in 2018.
The platform uses smart contracts and an oracle on the Ethereum blockchain to manage loans.
A user transfers the cryptocurrency to a Nexo-controlled wallet. The oracle then generates the loan, and the funds are allocated to the user.
After the user repays the loan, the oracle returns the cryptocurrency. Further, the transaction is recorded on the blockchain.
