Almost all of the funds were withdrawn from the BendDAO lending platform’s contract

What’s new? The director of research at Proof, known under the pseudonym NFTStatistics.eth, reported that crypto lending platform BenDAO owed creditors 15 000 ETH (~$23,63 million at the Binance rate as of August 22). Only 12,5 wrapped ETH (WETH) дкае in the contract, leaving users who lent money to others via BendDAO to buy NFTs on leverage cannot withdraw their money. This means that borrowers must pay 100% on their borrowed ETH.

Ok. Long thread on the BendDAO situation:1) They've run out of ETH. There is just 12.5 WETH in the contract.2) What does this mean? People who lent money to others via BendDAO to buy NFTs on leverage can't pull their money out. About 15,000 ETH was lent.(1/9)— NFTStatistics.eth (@punk9059) August 21, 2022

What else did the analyst report? The expert noted that many NFTs that were used as collateral have been defaulted and currently do not have bids. In this regard, more NFTs that are on the brink of default and are being auctioned due to falling minimum token prices or rising debt and high-interest rates have been added to the platform’s alert list.

Comments from the representatives of BendDAO. According to the co-founder of BendDAO, known by the nickname CodeInCoffee.eth, the team is working on a proposal to change the parameters of the NFT lending platform. The update will take effect 24 hours after it is approved through a voting process.

BendDAO is a decentralized, non-custodial NFT-based borrowing and lending protocol in which users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide ETH liquidity to the lending pool to generate passive income, and borrowers can instantly borrow ETH through the lending pool using NFTs as collateral.
