Wing, Ontology’s cross-chain DeFi lending platform, is now live on Binance Smart Chain

Showcasing its status as a fully-fledged cross-chain DeFi platform spanning multiple blockchains, this latest announcement follows the launch of Wing on Ontology, Ethereum and OEC.

Singapore, November 8 — Wing, the credit-based, cross-chain decentralized lending platform developed by Ontology, the project bringing trust, privacy and security to Web 3.0 through decentralized identity and data solutions, is now live on Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

By integrating onto BSC, a blockchain known for its high speeds and low fees, Wing will open up its unique lending, borrowing and insuring options to millions of new decentralized finance (DeFi) users. The initial supported assets include WING, Ontology (ONT), Bitcoin BEP2 (BTCB), Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Tether (USDT), Binance USD (BUSD), USD Coin (USDC), PolkaDot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), MakerDAO (DAI), Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), PancakeSwap (CAKE) and Filecoin (FIL).

Since launching on the Ontology blockchain in September 2020, Wing has seen monumental growth in total value locked (TVL), as well as in levels of lending and borrowing activity between users. Its TVL has increased astronomically to over $300 million, driven by its launch on Ontology, Ethereum, OEC and now BSC. BSC holds over $19.5 billion worth of transaction value, meaning there is massive potential for even further growth in Wing’s TVL.

Commenting on the milestone, Erick Pinos, Americas ecosystem lead of Ontology said:

“We are excited for BSC users to finally have the opportunity to experience Wing’s unique lending and borrowing services. Wing recently celebrated its first birthday and its arrival on BSC is an exciting development that will bring many new users to the platform. Wing’s TVL has grown considerably in the last year and with the expansion to Binance, more liquidity will become available to users.”

Wing is designed to promote a mutually beneficial relationship between borrowers, creditors and guarantors through a decentralized governance model and risk control mechanism. This launch will enable BSC users to access Wing’s credit-based DeFi ecosystem featuring a blockchain-based reputation system. This system rewards users for building a positive reputation on the blockchain by offering them preferential lending rates.

Since its launch, further asset classes have been added to Wing’s credit platform through the launch of “Any Pool,” which allows for the contractualization and lending of any asset. This innovative feature allows real-world assets such as real estate to be used as lending collateral. To facilitate this, Wing previously partnered with UPRETS, a company that digitizes real estate assets to make them tradable on blockchains.
