Bend DAO
Ment Tech Labs collaborated with Bend DAO to develop a decentralized liquidity infrastructure that allows users to borrow and lend against NFT collateral. The platform combines automated risk assessment, floor price oracles, and DAO-driven governance to enable instant liquidity while maintaining asset ownership.
Region/Industry
Project Duration
Client Type
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.

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.
Accurate Floor Price Tracking
Developing a real-time oracle mechanism to determine NFT floor values across multiple marketplaces for collateral evaluation.
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
Designing a liquidation engine that prevents unfair asset liquidation during short-term market fluctuations.
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
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:
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:
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:
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:
