| Minterest | Minterest is a decentralised lending protocol which facilitates interest rate markets for token assets. It features a unique economic model where the protocol itself captures 100% of the fees generated from its functions, including interest, flash loan, and auto-liquidation fees.These fees are exchanged via automated buyback processes for itsnative MNT governance token which is then distributed to its users to reward them for their participation in the protocol’s governance. In doing so, Minterest delivers its users the highest long term yields in DeFi. |  | Seed | Sep 16, 2021 |  |
