BendDAO Lending Protocol

BendDAO Lending Protocol is a decentralized, non-custodial NFT lending protocol with depositors who supply market liquidity and borrowers who take overcollateralized loans using NFTs as collateral. Its public repository provides smart-contract source code, market configuration, Hardhat development tasks, and integration interfaces.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Consider the protocol when the task involves NFT-collateralized borrowing, liquidity provision, or developer work with BendDAO's lending contracts and market configurations.

Who it is for

  • Depositors seeking to supply liquidity to a BendDAO market.
  • NFT holders seeking overcollateralized borrowing against NFTs.
  • Developers integrating lending contracts or examining NFT-backed lending market configurations.

Documented uses

  • Supply liquidity as a depositor.
  • Borrow against NFTs using overcollateralization.
  • Import BendDAO contract interfaces and artifacts into a development project.
  • Configure or extend a market using the repository's market configuration patterns.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The repository uses Hardhat and documents Docker Compose as a prerequisite before testing or deployment tasks.
  • Contract interfaces and ABI/bytecode artifacts are available through the @benddao/bend-protocol package.
  • Market configuration is organized per market, with separate configuration files and deployment tasks.
  • The README points developers to documentation for interfaces, integration guides, audits and current deployed-contract addresses.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the repository for Hardhat tasks

Prepare the documented Docker-based environment before running repository tests or deployment tasks.

Before you start

  • Docker and Docker Compose
  • A .env file with a mnemonic and an Alchemy or Infura provider key
  • An Etherscan key is optional for contract verification

Steps

  1. Install Docker and Docker Compose.

  2. Create the .env file and provide the required mnemonic and provider key; add an Etherscan key if needed for verification.

  3. Run docker-compose up to start contracts-env.

  4. Connect with docker-compose exec contracts-env bash and install dependencies using yarn install.

Expected outcome

The contracts environment is prepared for subsequent repository tasks; this setup guide does not run a test or deployment.

Guide limitations

  • The README requires this container setup before test or deploy actions.
  • Provider credentials and a mnemonic must be supplied in the environment file.
