Client Background

Redefining NFT Ownership Through Decentralized Liquidity

Bend DAO envisioned a protocol that gives NFT holders instant access to liquidity without selling their assets. The goal was to design a decentralized lending platform that leverages peer-to-pool mechanisms, enabling NFT-backed loans through smart contracts while maintaining user ownership and transparency.

To achieve this, Bend DAO partnered with Ment Tech Labs to build a secure and scalable ecosystem powered by DAO governance. The platform integrates real-time floor price oracles, automated risk management, and community-controlled treasury operations to create a sustainable liquidity layer for the NFT economy.

Key Challenges Bend DAO Faced Before the Collaboration

Building a Secure, Transparent, and Scalable NFT Liquidity Protocol

Before BendDAObecame a fully functional decentralized ecosystem, the client faced several challenges in creating a reliable lending infrastructure around highly volatile NFT assets.

High Variance in Price Feeds

Accurate Floor Price Tracking

Developing a real-time oracle mechanism to determine NFT floor values across multiple marketplaces for collateral evaluation.

Algorithmic Risk Assessment Engine

Risk Management in Volatile Markets

Building an automated risk model that protects lenders from sudden NFT price drops while maintaining borrower flexibility.

Liquidation Protection System

Liquidation Protection System

Designing a liquidation engine that prevents unfair asset liquidation during short-term market fluctuations.

Peer-to-Pool Lending Architecture

Peer-to-Pool Lending Architecture

Creating a smart contract framework that enables instant loans through pooled liquidity instead of direct peer matching.

DAO Governance Integration

Establishing a decentralized governance structure for proposal voting, treasury management, and protocol upgrades.

Ment Tech’s Approach

Designing a Transparent and Decentralized NFT Lending Infrastructure

Ment Tech Labs approached Bend DAO, intending to build a fully autonomous liquidity protocol supported by community governance. The focus was to develop secure smart contracts, real-time valuation systems, and risk algorithms that maintain trust between lenders and borrowers while enabling fast, gas-efficient transactions.

Discovery and Planning Phase

Our team began by analyzing NFT market volatility, oracle data feeds, and existing DeFi lending frameworks. The objective was to design a liquidity model that balanced borrower accessibility with lender protection.

Key Deliverables:

  • Requirement and risk flow analysis
  • NFT market study and oracle data design
  • Smart contract architecture blueprint
  • DAO governance and treasury framework planning
Discovery Phase

Design and Experience Phase

We designed an intuitive dashboard that visualizes NFT values, loan health, and governance proposals in real time. The goal was to make complex DeFi interactions feel accessible and transparent to all users.

Key Deliverables:

  • UI/UX design for dashboard and governance portal
  • Visualization models for collateral health and loan metrics
  • DAO voting and proposal interface design
  • Wallet connection and onboarding flow design
Compliance and KYC Workflow Integration

Development and Integration Phase

Our engineering team built the core lending protocol using Solidity with seamless oracle and DAO integration. Automated smart contracts handled collateral locking, loan issuance, and repayment tracking with real-time floor price feeds.

Key Deliverables:

  • Peer-to-pool lending smart contracts
  • Chainlink-based price oracle integration
  • DAO governance contracts for proposal and treasury management
  • Liquidation protection and automated risk modules
Smart Contract Development and Testing

Testing and Deployment Phase

Extensive testing ensured high reliability and low gas usage. The system was deployed on the Ethereum mainnet with DAO activation for community-led governance and parameter management.

Key Deliverables:

  • Smart contract audits and stress testing
  • Security and Oracle accuracy verification
  • Mainnet deployment and DAO launch
  • Continuous protocol monitoring and upgrade support
 Wallet and Network Interoperability
