Mars Lend FAQs

What is Mars Lend?

Mars is described as a multichain lending protocol for the Cosmos ecosystem. Its listed chains are Osmosis, Neutron and Terra.

What are Mars Rover credit accounts?

Rover accounts are described as transferable NFT containers that can hold assets for borrowing, spot or margin trading, leveraged yield farming and hedging. These activities share a single liquidation point, so losses can affect the account’s positions together.

What are Mars Lend’s fees and is it audited?

Fees are not published in the available project details. Two audits are listed, but their scope and dates are not given, so check the audit documents and current borrowing terms before supplying funds.
