24 hours since @StoxCredit launched on @base!
Here's what happened in our first 24 hours:
1. Completely redesigned our website UI.
2. Crossed 100+ visitors on Day 1, now at 112!
3. Launched our first Apple Stock Lending & Borrowing Pool on Base with 500 USDC in liquidity.
4. Current Borrow APY: 1.09% (Variable). It's currently low, but could increase as borrowing demand grows.
5. Users can lend USDC to earn interest or borrow against their stock positions.
What's next? 👀
We're launching our own Google and NVIDIA stock lending & borrowing pools in the coming days.
Our biggest challenge right now is liquidity. We want to launch more pools, but we need more funds to scale.
💬 DeFi community, we need your feedback!
How can we attract more liquidity and grow StoxCredit?
Stop selling stocks. Start borrowing.
