What it is and who it fits
DAOlama (`app.daolama.co`) is the main NFT-lending protocol on TON. The logic is the classic peer-to-pool: an NFT owner from a whitelisted collection deposits the item into the contract and receives a TON loan at a fixed LTV (loan-to-value). If the market price of the NFT drops below the liquidation threshold the collateral is liquidated and sold through the integrated mechanism; if the borrower repays in time the item returns. On top of basic lending DAOlama runs leverage strategies — buy an NFT, collateralise it, buy another one with the borrowed TON, loop several times for a leverage position (a familiar Aave-style loop, on NFTs). The strength is being the only scaled NFT-lending venue on TON, plus direct integration with Getgems and Tonnel for liquidations and audits by independent firms. The weakness is the narrow whitelist (blue-chip collections with stable floor only), and liquidations on a thin NFT market can clear below floor. For a holder of a top collection who needs liquid TON without selling, DAOlama is a unique answer inside the TON ecosystem.
Loan parameters
- Collateral type
- Whitelisted TON NFT collections (blue-chip)
- LTV and liquidation
- Target LTV is 40–55% of collection floor, the exact value depends on liquidity and volatility. The liquidation threshold sits 10–15 points above the target LTV.
- Fees and rate
- Borrow rate floats with pool demand. Origination and liquidation fees are spelled out in the docs.
