The protocol allows NFT holders to open collateralized debt positions using their NFT as collateral. Users mint PUSd, the protocol’s native stablecoin, allowing them to gain leverage on their NFTs effectively.

The platform works completely on a decentralized financial platform without the need to license trading activities from a certain unit. With the goal of bridging the gap between DeFi and NFT by using their NFT as collateral on the protocol via DAO.
