The Solana SOL -1.99% head lending protocol will launch a permissionless lending marketplace, allowing any user with 100SLND (~$70 fee) to create a lending pool of any token.
It is reported that Solend has 21 whitelisted loan pools, providing $471 million in loanable tokens to the Solana ecosystem. These whitelisted loan pools are reviewed by the Solend team.
Permissionless lending marketplaces are designed to help projects bootstrap a lending marketplace for their native tokens, help influencers profit from their followers by promoting the use of their asset pools, and even support them in creating unsecured lines of credit based on reputation alone .
