Nomis
The core philosophy of DeFi loans was to make capital accessible to everyone, but the present structure creates hindrances to mass adoption. The barrier is that DeFi loans are always over-collateralized by design. It makes them too elitist and reserved for those with both tech skills and capital.
It might seem weird, as one borrows because they need funds they don't own in most cases. So, DeFi loans, as a source of capital, aren't accessible for mainstream borrowers and underserved populations looking for alternatives in the eyes of the upcoming recession.
Nomis is a Credit Karma for DeFi or a multi-chain lending marketplace that smartly connects borrowers with DeFi protocols offering custom loan terms based on borrowers’ on-chain reputation. Nomis is designed to bring mass adoption closer and enable DeFi lenders to get more clients.
We help mainstream borrowers and underserved populations get alternative access to capital by placing them in a web2-like experience and enabling them to leverage their on-chain reputation to get better DeFi loan terms. On the other hand, Nomis enables lending protocols to use wallet credit score data in their business models to offer custom terms for borrowers and target particular customer segments in the marketplace.
