Description

NiftyApes is a NFT + DeFi protocol in stealth mode since Q3 of 2021. We've raised a significant Seed round with 2+ years runway from top industry investors, and are targeting a Q2 mainnet launch.

NiftyApes is a NFT collateralized lending protocol built on a revolutionary new DeFi primitive that enables on-demand liquidity for every unique asset in existence, even assets that haven't been created yet.

We envision a world with a more egalitarian and value-optimal debt market where loans are always true-market value and are as easy to get as tapping a button.

We're building brand new protocol and user experiences. We're looking for a front-end engineer excited to innovate with us in this new space.

Additionally, people are trusting us with some of their most prized digital possessions, and we take that trust seriously. We are assembling a team that knows how to balance shipping often with the imperative to ensure the Non-Fungibles are SAFU.

We move fast, but we also test a lot.
