5. DETAILED PLAN FOR CAPITAL USAGE:
Entrepreneurs can attract investor support by presenting a comprehensive financial forecast that demonstrates how the funds will impact various aspects of the business.
NFT lending is a blend of NFTs and decentralized finance.
It includes features like NFT collateralized loans, fractionalized tokens, and the renting or lending NFTs.
These tools offer broader utility and liquidity for NFTs.
1. LEADERSHIP ABILITY:
Founders / CEOs should be:
∙ Inspiring and effective
∙ Fully committed
∙ Open to advice
∙ Calm under pressure
∙ Have strong problem-solving skills
∙ Passionate and have industry knowledge
As NFT lending evolves, it's crucial that these platforms prioritize decentralization, a key principle of DeFi.
With responsible growth and informed participation, NFT lending has the potential to revolutionize the financial landscape.
So, should you be ready to trade your $MATIC for $POL? 📈
Well, we suggest you wait a bit.
Let the news mature, observe the market, and make a calculated decision.

What are BRC-20 Tokens?
They are digital assets built on the Bitcoin blockchain that follow the BRC-20 standard.
This standard has allowed for innovative
#DApps
to be built in the Bitcoin ecosystem, offering more options to investors and developers alike.
As major players like
@blur_io
or
@binance
enter the market, the popularity of NFT lending has soared.
Blur's Blend platform, for example, seized 82% of the NFT lending market share within three weeks of launch.
8. PROFESSIONAL PITCH DECK:
Before meeting with VCs, a well-crafted 15-20 page pitch deck is key.
Main highlights:
• A compelling business model
• Committed entrepreneurs
• Promising opportunities

7. RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI):
VCs seek startups with the ability to deliver significant returns, often aiming for 10x or more.
A promising ROI is a driving force behind their investment decisions.
The emergence of NFT lending presents exciting opportunities but comes with its own set of challenges.
Let's promote responsible trading and education to ensure that this new frontier remains accessible, fair, and safe for all.
9. NAVIGATING BUSINESS RISKS:
Investors want to understand the potential risks your business might encounter.
Expect these inquiries:
• Main business risks?
• Ensuring legal compliance and privacy protection?
• Addressing technology risks?
• Strategies to minimize risks?
10. PERFECT MATCH:
Startups should align with VCs investment goals, as they look for companies that fit their philosophy and complement their existing portfolio.
That's when VCs can provide valuable guidance, increasing the chances of shared success.
Bringing RWAs On-chain
For RWAs to be on-chain, ownership & representation must be accounted for through the blockchain.
This is achieved through a Tokenization process.
What is Tokenization?
Simply put, it's creating a blockchain-based token representation of the asset.
2/8
Despite the potential risks, NFT lending can be a profitable venture for traders, especially during bear markets.
Users can earn additional income by leasing out their NFTs, providing them with a steady stream of capital.
TradFi Adopting RWAs
Beyond DeFi, TradFi has also shown substantial interest in this Web3 category - Both retail & institutional adoption has been observed.

Market Projections
The
@BCG
group estimates that the tokenization of global illiquid assets will be a $16T market by 2030.
Relative to the total value of global assets, $900T, this is a tiny fraction.
💡 The global crypto market is currently just above $1T.
5/8
The proposed upgrade isn't just a name change.
If approved by the Polygon community, this upgrade will turn MATIC into a multipurpose token.
Its utility will span all the Polygon protocols, including Polygon PoS, zkEVM, and Supernets.

tokens are spearheading a revolution!
With a rapidly evolving team set on refining BRC-20's features, it's becoming easier for developers to craft innovative tokens.
Launching a startup is exciting but also a bit scary.
Especially when you look at the costs involved.
But hey, there are ways to reduce these expenses and guess what?
We're sharing them with you right now!
Critics warn that these platforms may inadvertently encourage predatory behavior.
They've cautioned traders—especially new entrants—to thoroughly educate themselves on safe NFT borrowing practices before participating.
The rapid growth of
@BlendbyBlur
, especially among new traders, underscores the need for education and transparency in the NFT lending space.
Platforms need to ensure that users are fully aware of the potential risks involved in each transaction.
The Tokenization Process
Different assets go through different processes to be minted on-chain.
But the tokenization process can be generalized as shown👇
3/8
2/12
GOOD PART:
Positive real yield happen when interest rates are higher than inflation.
Meaning, your investment is growing faster than the costs of goods and services are increasing.
When you see positive real yield, you're witnessing a sustainable protocol in action.
3/12
WHAT'S THE FLIP SIDE?:
Negative real yields occur when inflation outpaces interest rates.
Your investment isn't growing as fast as prices are rising, which might not be the best news.
Validators aren't just limited to validating multiple chains.
They can also perform multiple roles on a single chain, including zero-knowledge proof generation and participation in data availability committees.
Versatility redefined!
6/8
8. Dream big, plan clear
Keep your dreams big, but your plans clear, well-defined, and thoroughly researched.
Remember, meticulous planning can turn big dreams into a thriving reality.
8/12
REAL-LIFE YIELD MODEL
An automated market maker protocol offers yield to holders of its governance token -ABC, and its liquidity provider token - XYZ.
The platform revenue is split between holders of the two tokens.
11/12
HOW DeFi PROTOCOLS MAKE MONEY?
They charge fees for their services.
These fees help cover costs like computing power for running smart contracts, development, maintenance, and of course, generate profit.
Risks primarily revolve around liquidation - if the token price drops below 30-40%, the lender can liquidate the asset.
It's essential for lenders to assess the volatility and market sentiment of their NFTs before engaging in lending.
7. Persevere
Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.
Keep moving, keep learning, and keep improving.
Embrace the fact that success often requires pure perseverance.
A New Asset Category?
Yes, typically referred to as Real World Assets. RWA for short.
Real World Assets, as the name implies, are tangible or intangible resources in the real world i.e. off the blockchain.
This web3 category refers to the tokenized form of these assets.
1/8
But what's in it for the validators?
Well, the utility of $POL revolves around aligning and incentivizing validators to perform beneficial work.
This isn't just a change in structure but a substantial shift in dynamics.
4/8
3. Stay focused
Remain true to your vision and your motivation to create.
Stay self-funded as long as possible, and keep your decisions driven by your dreams, not by external pressure.
If you're truly ready to change the world, get up and do it.
Remember, the best entrepreneurial intentions mean nothing if you’re not taking tangible actions to accomplish them.
Stay persistent, keep moving, and always strive for continuous improvement.
6. Learn from unhappy customers
Treat every negative feedback as a golden opportunity for improvement.
Remember, your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
10. Nurture ethical culture
Cultivate a culture of ethics in your organization.
Treat your employees as your biggest assets and nurture trusting relationships with your partners, advisors, and mentors.
The beauty of this proposal lies in its potential for infinite scalability and zero friction between any two protocols.
The protocol aims to streamline operations and open doors to limitless possibilities.
3/8
9. Be obsessed with your clients
Prioritize customer satisfaction and incorporate their feedback into your product or service.
A customer-focused startup is bound to make big gains.
NFT lending platforms operate differently, each with their own set of rules and risk parameters.
For instance,
@BlendbyBlur
“down payment” feature allows payments over time, but some experts worry that this could be predatory to inexperienced traders.
1. Solve a specific problem
The best product bridges customers to the future.
Make sure your innovation solves a specific customer problem in a new way.

WHAT'S CRYPTO YIELD AS A METRIC?
It's a quick way to evaluate a project's offered yield relative to its revenue.
It lets you see how much of the rewards are dilution or mainly supported by token emissions rather than funded by revenue.
