About Pawnfi
Pawnfi is an advanced DeFi platform that introduces the concept of “pawn” and creates a non-standard asset lending and rental marketplace. These non-standard assets include not only tokens but also other assets such as NFTs, LP tokens, bonds, derivatives, etc. on the Pawnfi platform.

Pawnfi provides a “pawn” market (or mortgage lending marketplace) on the blockchain. In this market, objects include:
	- Non-Standard Asset Owners: These people have assets that they want to use to make money. They can create contracts to mortgage, lease, or resell their property, depending on the terms of the contract.
 
	- Borrowers: They use non-standard assets to secure loans. The loan amount is limited to ensure the safety of both the borrower and the asset holder.
 
	- Tenants: These are people who want to rent a non-standard property and are willing to pay a deposit for the right to use the property for a certain period of time.
 
	- Buyers: Those who want to buy non-standard assets listed on Pawnfi.

What makes Pawnfi . different?
Pawnfi is a multi-chain platform that supports multiple blockchain networks such as ETH, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum , and Moonbeam . By integrating multi-chain versioning in the same user interface, Pawnfi helps to avoid asset fragmentation and improve user experience.
As non-standard assets vary in size and risk, Pawnfi has implemented three different approaches to mortgage lending.

Pawnfi offers 3 different approaches to mortgage loans depending on the liquidity of the property:
	- Crowd-Lending: For low-turnover assets, this method pools loans from multiple lenders to create a larger fund, which reduces default risk and increases returns for lender.
 
	- Automatic Pool-Lending: For highly liquid assets, this method uses an automated system to create and manage loan pools, providing lenders with a degree of risk management and diversification.
 
	- Fast Loan: Open to all asset classes, this method combines manual and automated processes to provide quick and efficient loans, especially useful for borrowers who need access to liquidity. quick account.
