Eth.loan Launches as Experimental Lending Tool for ENS Users

eth.loanCurious to see if you qualify for a loan? Can’t remember what crypto or DeFi lenders are out there? There’s a hack for that. Any owner of an Ethereum Name Service (ENS) name can simply type their name into a web browser and add .loan to the end of it. The result (for now) is a fully functioning native web page with options.

The trick to making it work is the domain name eth.loan, one of nearly two dozen domain names that also act as reverse ENS names. Eth.loan works similar to eth.photos in that the server can interpret subdomains as .eth names. From there, many things are possible (see eth.limo for example!).

Currently, the tool shows two options to every visitor. Try your-name-here.eth.loan in a browser and you’ll see both. One of them has an affiliate link attached to it. Check them out if you’d like. Right now the whole concept is more of a prototype.

If you are a DeFi lender or crypto lender that is interested in being listed on this tool, please email sean@debanked.com. Sean Murray is the creator of eth.loan just like eth.photos.

eth.photos Receives Some Upgrades

eth.photos nfteth.photos, a web-browser-friendly gateway to visualize web3 .eth usernames, recently added some new features. In addition to being able to view recently acquired image-based NFTs, ENS users can now also view:

  • Their recently acquired ENS names
  • Their IPFS link (if they have an IPFS site listed in the ENS manager
  • Recently received bcards (What’s bcard?)
  • Activity feed of bpapers created by their bcard network
  • Their own most recent bpaper
  • The total number of Likes (What’s Likebutton?)

The site does not host any of the displayed data. Instead, it creates a live visual of data from the user’s activity on ethereum and polygon. Sean Murray is the creator of it.

How CryptoMondays Went Worldwide

cryptomondaysIn need of a guide through the world of Crypto? Brooklyn is a place to start. CryptoMondays once started with just a few people and now has over 20,000 community members across the country. The goal is to teach and engage people in the community about DeFi, Web3, and NFTs through live events.

Being a long-time investor in the crypto world, Lou Kerner started his own meetups on January 8, 2018 at Bagatelle in the meat packing district. Having 300 people at the first event and 350 at the following event, CryptoMondays began to flourish.

“So, the idea of mine is, I just wanted to hang out with other people who were as passionate about crypto as I was,” said Kerner.

CryptoMondays has had events in 77 cities around the world and are currently active in New York, Miami, San Francisco, London, Paris and more.

“It started off more as like a niche of people who are specifically interested in blockchain, but the tendon is expanded to institutional investments,” said Rifka Buls, Director of Business Development at the Williamsburg Hotel who also hosts CryptoMondays there. “The attendance has gone from people who are specifically connected to the blockchain crypto industry, to people from a wide variety of industries that want to also include crypto and blockchain and NFTs.”

She added, “Web3 and crypto have a fantastic community. I’ve worked in several different industries and I find the community to be extremely growth oriented and creative. They generally look for what talents another person has, like, how is that talent unique and special? And it’s just a really fantastic group of people,” said Buls.

CryptoMondays being all over the country has had success in attracting a diversity of people from many different regions, like Jonathan Alviras from the San Francisco Bay Area.

“I appreciated the CryptoMondays over in Brooklyn after being at a couple of events in Manhattan for NFT NYC, just because it was it was a bit more focused. I think people were there to engage with the speakers and actually listen to the fireside chat,” said Alviras.

Each week CryptoMondays feature different topics, different speakers, and different ideas for an engaging crypto community.
