There is interest in our product, and we are turning our vision into a working protocol backed by many of the best investors in the industry.
“Unlockd is the missing piece on-chain debt markets need to evolve to their optimal state with a size equivalent to traditional finance. Enabling the use of Real-World Assets, both physical and financial, as collateral is an industry game-changer that will bring to DeFi both institutional and mainstream retail investment.”
— Jorge Schnura, Unlockd Co-Founder
