Rocko makes it easy to borrow against your crypto through top DeFi protocols. This avoids a ton of the risk associated with traditional collateralized loans that caused many competitors in the space to drop out over the past few years.

All collateral is locked transparently in audited protocol smart contracts, funds are secured through a self custodial wallet that only the user has access to, and loans are all denominated in USD with flexible rates determined by the protocol based on supply/demand.

Our vision is to build one marketplace that allows borrowers to the easily access the best rates from any number of protocols, networks, and crypto assets.

We want to make DeFi easy for everyone.

Curious to hear thoughts from the community, feature requests, or personal experience in the past with a crypto backed loan?

People used to say the same thing about JavaScript, now it runs most of the internet.

No reason EVM can't evolve to be less cumbersome

Stacks is really going off in the wrong direction here.

If they aren't building an EVM compatible chain, they are going to fall quickly behind in the space and never recover
