🍌 NiftyApes is a NFT + DeFi protocol in stealth mode since Q3 of 2021. We’ve raised a significant Seed round with 2+ years runway from top industry investors, and are targeting a Q4 mainnet launch.

What We’re Building

NiftyApes is a NFT collateralized lending protocol built on a revolutionary new DeFi primitive that enables on-demand liquidity for every unique asset in existence, even assets that haven’t been created yet.

We envision a world with a more egalitarian and value-optimal debt market where loans are always true-market value and are as easy to get as tapping a button.

What your day-to-day looks like

This starts as an IC role, but we’re open to hiring someone who’s interested in growing into a lead (Director or CTO) as the company scales.

Additionally, people are trusting us with some of their most prized digital possessions, and we take that trust seriously. We are assembling a team that knows how to balance shipping often with the imperative to ensure the Non-Fungibles are SAFU.

We move fast, but we also test a lot. 🙂
