The new isolated pool offers multiple benefits, including a way for small investors to invest in SMBs by purchasing a portion of the floor.
NFT Lending With Droplets
Together with Solvent, MonkeDAO, and Switchboard, Solend is launching NFT lending, so users can deposit NFTs into a bucket to get fungible tokens (droplets) at a 1:100 ratio.
In a tweet and an accompanying article from April 1, Solend announced that Droplets would follow the NFT collection’s floor price and could be traded on a DEX. You can swap Droplets for any NFT in your bucket at a ratio of 100:1.
Let’s take an example to make it more transparent: by depositing one SMB NFT into the Solvent bucket, you’ll receive 100 droplet tokens for SMB, also known as SMBD. You can then trade SMDB or deposit liquidity and stake to earn rewards.
In addition, Monke holders can also deposit the droplets in the NFT pool, which lends them out for yield and can be used as collateral for borrowing assets like USDC or SOL.
This new isolated pool will have three benefits:
Provides small investors with access to SMBs by purchasing a fraction of a floor
Increases the liquidity of the SMB floor
Allows margin trading of SMBs with leverage (for example, you can deposit SMB floor tokens into Solend, borrow USDC, and buy more SMB floor tokens).
These incentives will run for a month, starting 3 hours after the pool launches (2022–03–31 22:00 UTC). You can get access to the NFT pool here. Nevertheless, you must be aware of the risks associated with smart contracts and impermanent losses.

What is Solvent:
Solvent is a platform that converts non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into fungible tokens (droplets), providing users with instant liquidity. The instant liquidity for NFTs can provide users with a platform to trade NFTs more quickly than they can currently. Droplets can be traded on Solana’s AMMs and Serum order books. Users can exchange their droplets for NFTs in the Solvent buckets or swap droplets for $USDC directly from the platform. They can also put their droplet liquidity into liquidity pools and earn liquidity rewards.
