❓ Why Levvy
Addressing Market Limitations
Central to the creation of Levvy is the recognition of critical gaps in the existing lending market:
🚫 The Problem
- Conventional platforms only support blue-chip collections
- Smaller collections and tokens are excluded
- Limited liquidity options for most asset holders
- Centralized control and opaque pricing
✅ The Levvy Solution
- Support for ALL collections and tokens
- Democratic access to lending markets
- Competitive pricing through open bidding
- Fully decentralized and transparent
Core Philosophy
Increased liquidity and flexibility of funds in the ecosystem can push us all forward. Every asset holder should have access to lending markets, not just the privileged few.
