Borrowing fees

Simple, transparent, Bitcoin-based.

1.5% per year platform fee

After you receive the full loan payout, a one-time platform fee of 1.5% per year of the loan term is deducted from your Bitcoin collateral.

5% Liquidation fee - if applicable

A 5% liquidation fee applies only in the event of default or failure to meet required margin levels (90% LTV threshold).
