Audience
DeFi traders and liquidity providers in search of a tool providing short-term, collateralized loans with no price-based liquidations to manage risk and access capital
About Teller
Teller is a decentralized lending protocol that offers time-based, no-margin-call loans using any Ethereum asset or ERC-20/NFT as collateral, enabling borrowers to access liquidity for 1–30 days without being liquidated due to price fluctuations so long as they repay on time; collateral is placed in isolated escrow vaults and loans can be refinanced or extended based on prevailing offers. Lenders create custom loan terms and keep supplied funds in their own wallets, allowing them to make unlimited offers with the same capital while retaining control, and if a borrower defaults, liquidity providers have first refusal to liquidate and seize collateral. The system emphasizes safety and transparency with audited smart contracts (insured by Sherlock up to defined limits), and it supports isolated pools and perpetual-style structures to give users credit-like access to DeFi capital.

TrueFi
Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral. We’re proud to introduce TrueFi, a protocol for uncollateralized lending, and TRU, the native token used for staking and voting on loan requests. The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool.

Liquidium
Liquidium is a decentralized Bitcoin lending protocol where users can borrow BTC against Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens, and lend BTC to earn up to 380% APY. Borrowers can secure Bitcoin loans using their digital assets as collateral, with inscriptions safely locked in a Discreet Log Contract (DLC) until repayment, ensuring a secure and fast process. Lenders provide BTC and earn interest; if the borrower repays, the lender receives the BTC plus interest, and if not, the lender receives the collateral. All transactions are natively secured on the Bitcoin blockchain, with no wrapping or bridging, just Bitcoin. Liquidium's non-custodial escrows use DLCs to securely store collateral during a Bitcoin loan. It supports borrowing and lending against Bitcoin assets like Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens. Lend your BTC and earn interest; each loan is secured by an inscription in a Bitcoin DLC.

Debifi
Debifi is a non‑custodial, Bitcoin‑backed lending platform that lets borrowers tap into institutional‑grade liquidity without relinquishing control of their coins. Built by Bitcoiners, it uses a strict three‑of‑four multisignature escrow system, keys are generated on a separate device, never held by Debifi, and distributed among borrower, lender, and trusted third‑party signers, to ensure maximum transparency and eliminate collateral rehypothecation. Users connect through a lightweight app to create dedicated escrow addresses on Bitcoin’s blockchain, initiate loan contracts, and manage repayments directly with lenders. Debifi aggregates global liquidity providers to offer flexible loan terms from short‑term funding to five‑year stablecoin or fiat loans, with customizable loan‑to‑value ratios and competitive, risk‑adjusted interest rates. Institutional lenders benefit from over‑collateralization, a tiered margin‑call system, and automatic liquidations.
