Your questions, answered.
Which cryptocurrencies are eligible as collateral?
The original 1st Capital Finance marketplace materials list Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Aave (AAVE), Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC), Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH), Chainlink (LINK), Threshold Bitcoin (tBTC), Uniswap (UNI), Tether (USDT), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and LIDO Wrapped Staked ETH (stETH). Availability depends on the protocol and network; confirm current support with the provider.
What is a loan-to-value ratio?
Loan-to-value (LTV) is the loan amount divided by the value of your collateral. Crypto loans are overcollateralized to provide a buffer against price changes. Your LTV updates as prices move and determines borrowing capacity and liquidation risk.
Will a loan affect my credit score?
The original program states that participating DeFi lenders do not require a hard or soft credit check and do not report to credit agencies. Confirm the terms of the specific provider you choose.
How does a crypto loan work?
Choose the amount to borrow, the stablecoin you want to receive and the crypto asset to collateralize. Compare protocol rates and offers, then set up your loan through the provider’s wallet. The original materials describe borrowing up to 86% or more of collateral value in USDC or USDT, with options to manage, modify, refinance or repay. Actual limits depend on current terms.
Which protocols and networks are supported?
The original materials list Aave V3 on Ethereum, Base, Optimism and Polygon; Compound III on Ethereum, Base, Optimism and Polygon; MarginFi V2 on Solana; and Morpho V2 on Ethereum and Base. Confirm current integrations with the provider.
How is interest calculated?
DeFi lending commonly uses floating rates that change with market conditions. Rates are calculated by the lending protocol rather than fixed to a conventional loan benchmark. Your rate can increase or decrease during the loan.
What are the tax implications?
The original materials describe borrowing without selling the collateral. Tax treatment depends on the transaction and individual circumstances, and liquidation or conversion may have tax consequences. Consult a qualified tax professional.
Who can apply?
The original program is described as available to businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals holding supported crypto assets, without conventional credit criteria. Provider eligibility, network and legal restrictions may still apply.
What happens if the loan is not repaid or collateral loses value?
If your LTV reaches the protocol’s liquidation threshold, collateral may be liquidated and a fee may apply. Monitor your loan, pay interest or add collateral when needed, and use email and text alerts. Alerts do not eliminate liquidation risk.
Technical details from the original program.
Supported protocols: Aave V3, Compound III, MarginFi and Morpho; described as having third-party code audits and collectively managing billions in value.
Non-custodial structure: collateral is deposited into audited smart contracts. Owner access to funds remains subject to the loan being in good standing.
Wallet security: the original materials describe Turnkey secure-enclave encryption and storage of private keys, with Kernel modular smart-account architecture.
Refinancing: flash-loan functionality is described as transferring both loan balances and collateral between protocols.
Transparency: loan activity is recorded on-chain and can be viewed using blockchain explorers.
