Proton Loan
Similarly to Proton XPR, LOAN was also listed on LATOKEN. That's not a top tier exchange but that's still great news as LOAN isn't on many exchanges. The more the better.
Trade LOAN on #LATOKEN!@ProtonLoan is a new decentralized lending market built on the Proton blockchain. Utilizing the cross-chain capabilities of Proton wrapped xTokens, Proton Loan makes it possible to deposit crypto into lending pools for interest.

Following the last week's events around the LUNA ecosystem, the Proton team took action and disabled the use of XUST and XLUHA:
- Proton and Metal data source: CoinMarketCap
- Price change based on Sunday close price using latest data in range (UTC)
- Loan data source: Protonscan (Alcor exchange + Protonswap)
Excellent summary from Irina on the complete Proton ecosystem. We are looking forward to the day when Metal Pay will be available in the UK too:
