🚀 Zivoe Launched Yesterday!

Yesterday at 11 AM EST, Zivoe launched its Initial Tranche Offering, opening deposits to its Real World Asset protocol for the very first time. Users rushed to deposit over $1.2M within the first hour of launch!

For those of you unfamiliar with Zivoe, we are a RWA protocol that’s connecting DeFi to consumer credit markets. We enable DeFi users to fund off chain loans to retail borrowers and earn yield from them on-chain. More specifically, we help borrowers with high-interest loans (300% APR+) refinance their existing debts and help pay them off using DeFi liquidity.

The Initial Tranche Offering (ITO) is a 30 day liquidity bootstrapping event, during which DeFi users are able to deposit a variety of stablecoins with Zivoe. Depositors can choose between our Senior Tranche (earns up to 10% APR) and our Junior Tranche (earns up to 22% APR). Depositors also earn $ZVE Airdrop Points for depositing.
