The Mission
@zkLend wants to go back to the principles that characterized DeFi since its beginning. Building permissionless final services for everybody, for Degens first but also creating a Sandbox for Institutional permissioned experimentation.
@zkLend Protocol forks itself in two Solutions:
1) Artemis, a Degen and DeFi newbies focused solution with decentralized lending and borrowing.
2) Apollo, a permissioned solution to help institutions discover and approach DeFi services and primitives while staying compliant.
Use Cases
Some of the use cases that can be made possible by using the @zkLend protocol are:
Passive Income, Leverage, Shorting, Efficient Liquidity Management, Arbitrage, Collateral swapping and more.
In order to grow its stellar team, @zkLend is looking for both Blockchain and Full Stack Developers (in the latter case No Crypto-Experience is fine).
