Sharky FAQs

What does Sharky do?

Sharky describes a model where you borrow SOL using an NFT as collateral, or lend SOL and receive an NFT if the borrower does not repay. The exact loan terms and how the escrowless collateral arrangement works are not established here.

What are Sharky’s fees?

Sharky’s published homepage text does not specify its fees or the costs borrowers and lenders may face. Check the terms for a specific offer before committing SOL or an NFT.

Has Sharky been audited?

No audits are listed for Sharky. That does not by itself prove the protocol is unsafe, but you should not treat the absence of listed audits as evidence that its contracts have been independently checked.
