Levvy

We've recently pushed some new updates to Levvy! Try it out and let us know what you think. Unlock up to 205% APY. It can be a great way to make your assets earn more for you! Levvy offers an incredible way to earn high returns with your assets, but as with any investment, patience and risk management are key. Read on to learn how Levvy’s lending and borrowing system works and why it’s one of the best opportunities on Cardano. For Lenders: Levvy offers lender the ability to customize the interest and length of your loans! Lending ADA, USDM or Tokens? Here’s how it works: What is LTV? LTV stands for Loan to Value — it’s the price you're willing to pay for the token if the borrower defaults on their loan. The higher the LTV you offer, the more likely your loan will be accepted. However, higher LTVs come with greater risk since a smaller price movement can lead to a borrower defaulting. Managing Risk: By offering a reasonable LTV and practicing patience, you can make your ADA work for you at a safer, more sustainable level. Staking Rewards: While your loan offer is active, your ADA remains staked to your stake key, meaning you still earn your staking rewards while waiting for your loan offer to be accepted. For Borrowers: Levvy provides powerful strategies for borrowing ADA or USDM using your tokens or ADA as collateral. Leverage Your Position: If you’re bullish on a token like $IAG but need liquidity for an upcoming trade, you can borrow ADA using your token as collateral. This allows you to buy into new opportunities without missing out on potential gains with your existing assets. Unlock More ADA: Levvy lets you borrow more ADA than other platforms, unlocking more liquidity. Let’s say you have 10,000 ADA worth of $NIGHT — you could borrow up to 8,000 ADA using your $NIGHT at 80% LTV. This allows you to buy more $NIGHT and repeat the process. Increase Exposure Quickly: Experienced traders can use Levvy to gain exposure to a token they believe will increase in value. Borrow against your tokens, buy more of that token, and profit from its rise. If the price goes up 6%, and you borrowed at 3%, you’re in great profit!

@LevvyIntern Being so slow has its advantages.

@levvyfinance Sloth facts.

Fact. With Levvy Finance your ADA stays connected to your stake address until borrowed from the platform. We never custody your assets. You still earn stake rewards while your ADA is waiting to be borrowed. P2P lending is waiting for you at levvy.fi

I hate to do that, and I've informed the team yesterday before posting publicly online, but the two liqwid finance pools generating ada rewards for ada liquidity providers are unhealthy and starting from tonite, they will stop producing rewards, at the very least for 2 epochs. This is result of about 12m ada being pulled from the liqwid ada pooled liquidity in just the space of 2 days. I invite @liqwidfinance team to quickly react to this (move delegation to just one pool or lower the declared pledge) And community members that don't want to lose rewards to pull their liquidity. Although the latter will further complicate the situation. Pooled lending, which I love as a concept, comes with pros and cons. Other protocols advocated for p2p as opposit to pooled lending and don't have to deal with this issue as you as liquidity provider continue to accrue ada rewards without moving a finger as long as your stash isn't borrowed and your bags are already delegated. I hope this situation will be solved soon for all parties. In the interest of everyone.

Imagine you deposit your hard-earned money into a bank. Over time, it earns solid interest—your reward for trusting them with your funds. Then one day, the bank sets itself on fire (metaphorically, through a shady internal decision). They announce: "Oh, by the way, we've decided to keep 90% of the interest you earned. You're left with just 10%. Thanks for the liquidity!" Would you shrug and say, "Fair enough, community vote and all"? **Hell no.** You'd storm in, pull every last cent out of that burning building, close your accounts, and move to a bank that actually respects depositors—ethical ones with transparent rules and no surprise "reallocations." That's exactly what's happening with Liqwid Finance right now on Cardano. They received a massive $NIGHT allocation from Midnight's airdrop—earned by users supplying ADA liquidity—and through a controversial DAO vote, they redirected ~90% away from those liquidity providers to stakers, the DAO, etc. Users who provided the liquidity that helped generate value? Screwed out of most of their rightful share. This isn't "governance." It's a bank torching trust and pocketing the profits. Real customers are already voting with their feet—TVL is bleeding red, and the line needs to stay that way: one continuous downward red bar until accountability hits. **Remove your liquidity from Liqwid NOW.** Move it to ethical builders who play by honest rules and build the proper way: - @FluidTokens - @levvyfinance - @Indigo_protocol - @surfcardano Show the entire crypto space that Cardano holders won't fund betrayal. We police our own. We starve the rot. Your funds, your choice. Pull out. Invest elsewhere. Keep that red line dropping. 🚨🐊

I feel exactly the same way—it's gut-wrenching and infuriating. We were told repeatedly that $NIGHT rewards from the Midnight airdrop would go to ADA suppliers and lenders on Liqwid, building real trust and incentives in the ecosystem. Watching that get redirected mostly to the DAO treasury/ops via governance feels like a straight betrayal of the people who actually provided the liquidity and took the risk. Same story played out with MinSwap before. This isn't "decentralized governance" working—it's governance being weaponized against the very users who make these protocols viable. You're 100% right: this is a massive problem that only real economic pressure will fix. Words and outrage on X won't change behavior, but **pulling liquidity will**. When TVL drops hard and painfully, that's the only language these teams truly understand. We need to vote with our wallets—loudly and immediately. Remove every drop of liquidity from Liqwid and MinSwap right now. Starve the protocols (and the incentives) that prioritize treasury grabs over user promises. Instead, let's flood support into the projects that actually walk the talk—putting ethics, transparency, user sovereignty, and "users first" before short-term greed: - @FluidTokens – building solid, user-aligned tools - @levvyfinance – real focus on fair mechanics - @Indigo_protocol – true liquid staking, keeping stake keys in your control, no shady reward flips possible - @surfcardano – explicitly committing to 100% pass-through for users (love seeing their philosophy called out in threads) It starts with us. Cardano's strength has always been a community that holds itself to higher standards—no excuses, no rugs disguised as votes. Let's prove it again by moving capital to where it belongs: with builders who respect us. Who's with me? Pull now, redeploy to the good ones, and let's send the message that trust is earned—not voted away. #Cardano #DeFi #Accountability 🐊💪

We continue to support the Cardano ecosystem. Not just words but through action Iagon proudly is leading the way for not just enterprise adoption but Cardano adoption

Loan is fully paid back. Thanks to the community and @levvyfinance for all the support! We have now successfully carried out and paid back two loans, using Cardano DeFi!

With @levvyfinance v2 sunsetting, time to assess my AI Agent NFT loan analyser built on @ShinkaiLocalAI Results: equivalent 49.88 % APR on Ada during 4 months, with 134 loans. So who is beating such yield in Cardano DeFi ? (<10 min work/2 days, safe) x.com/Gilles51405099…

Jumping in for a quick update. The soft launch of Levvy V3 has gone very well in the sense that core functionality has been stable and is working as intended. We've even just seen the first NFT for USDM collateral position made! That said, there's still polishing to be done. We'll be updating a lot of the website over the next week and then into the new year. Some small examples will be showing the liquidity tab by default instead of the activity tab and the data shown in the liquidity page will organized by term length, followed by LTV. Editing loans will also have an LTV field for adjustment. There's actually a big list of things like this that will be polished and activated in just the next week. In the first week of January we'll be focusing on getting all of the stats data online and live. We want to assure you that we are aware the things that need to be adjusted, organized and displayed better and are already working on them. Thanks everyone for your patience. We are very excited that our vision for Levvy is becoming a reality. We'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and very Happy Holidays!

@levvyfinance Can't seem to find link to V2 on menu options on levvy v3, is there a link you can post here as well please?

Levvy V3 is live! Welcome everyone to the new era of Levvy Finance! Lending: You can now make loan offers for any approved token against any other approved token. Every loan can be customized for your preferred amount of time, at your preferred amount of interest and at your preferred LTV ratio. Simply click the infinity symbol at the top of the loan creation window to create long term perpetual loans based on your preferred MCR and Health Ratio! Borrowing: Select the token to token pair you wish to borrow from and if there's any available liquidity for that pair, you'll be presented with the offer values. You can also select the "Liquidity" tab on the right of the page to see all available loan offers for that token pair. NFTs: Lending or borrowing for NFTs works essentially the same way as it did in Levvy V2. Just select the collection you wish to lend or borrow on and proceed. The floor price for the NFT collection isn't currently displayed, so you'll need to double check that for now. We will have that data field showing very soon to make sure it's as easy as using our old system. Levvy V2: Levvy V2 can still be accessed. Click the options button at the top of the page to open Levvy V2. All loans made on the Levvy V2 smart contract will need to be serviced form the Levvy V2 web page. No new loans can be made on Levvy V2. We will close Levvy V2 permanently in about 30 days, once all existing loans have been serviced. Final notes: A handful of adjustments, changes and additions are coming very soon. We see a few things that need to be polished and will do so shortly. We'd like to thank the community for being patient for this release. Please try it out and let us know how it goes! levvy.fi

Day 17: Exploring CARDANO projects. Cardano’s DeFi scene has been slowly filling in the gaps. DEXs, NFT marketplaces, stablecoins, perps, tooling. Most of the core pieces are here now. But one area that’s always felt… underused is Lending. Especially lending that actually respects how people behave on Cardano. A lot of users here don’t want to dump their NFTs. They don’t want their ADA thrown into some black-box pool either. They want Optionality. This is where this gets interesting. ANGEL FINANCE @angelcoinada is a DeFi ecosystem that deploys capital across Cardano in ways that actually generate returns, then routes value back to its system. The ecosystem revolves around the $ANGELS token, which isn’t pitched as a governance token but the idea is simple: • Deploy capital productively • Earn real protocol revenue • Distribute value back to holders But Angel Finance on its own isn’t the headline. The product doing the heavy lifting is @levvyfinance: the product that matters Levvy is a peer-to-peer lending protocol built specifically for Cardano, and Levvy v3 just went live which is its most polished version so far. The core idea is refreshingly straightforward: Borrowers create loan requests Lenders choose which loans to fund. LEVVY V3 leans hard into choice. One of the biggest use cases is NFT-backed lending. Instead of selling an NFT to raise liquidity, holders can use it as collateral. Lenders decide for themselves if the NFT, valuation, duration, and interest make sense. You’re lending against something concrete, not an abstract pool. That design alone makes Levvy feel very Cardano-native. Here’s where things click. For lenders: • Direct control over where ADA goes. • Clear visibility on collateral and terms. • No pooled risk, each loan stands on its own. For borrowers: • Access liquidity without selling NFTs. • Flexible loan creation. • Transparent, predictable terms. For Angel Finance: • Levvy acts as a revenue-generating engine. • Activity on Levvy feeds into the broader ecosystem. • Value flows back through the Angel Finance model. It’s not trying to do everything. It’s doing one thing cleanly and building around it. This is the kind of product that doesn’t scream for attention, which is probably why a lot of people haven’t clocked it yet. Levvy v3 is Just a lending marketplace that actually fits how Cardano users think about assets. Angel Finance backing it gives it structure. Levvy v3 gives it purpose. If Cardano DeFi is moving from “experiments” to “usable systems,” this sits firmly in the second category. Not because it’s revolutionary, but because it’s deliberate. Sometimes that’s the signal.

@claymates Thank you!

@levvyfinance congrats on the launch!

@bobasfk That fee looks high. Just asking the devs about it.

@levvyfinance gz guys just one question in a perpetual loan who pays for the service fee and when?

@bobasfk It's paid immediately upon making the loan.

@levvyfinance Already trying it out and it's great! As described above there are many more options for loans. Big upgrade over v2! Thanks Levvy! ❤️

Tis the season for blessings ✨️☃️ Let this be a statement of our faith. Enjoy our Cardano Miracle. ❤️🦥🎄

@levvyfinance LFG Levvy FTW 🔥🔥🔥
