How hackers stole 3,000 ETH, NFT lending platform - XCarnival attack analysis incident | Tokenview

Introduction to XCarnival XCarnival is an NFT lending platform, which is enabled by DeFi platforms that allow NFT owners to pledge their NFT artwork or collectibles in exchange for cryptocurrency or fiat currency. How does NFT lending work? Platforms that support NFT loans allow holders to borrow funds and set terms without an intermediary. Borrowers can expect to take out loans worth about 50 per cent of the NFT's value, with interest rates ranging from 20 per cent to 80 per cent, depending on how popular the NFT is. The allure of DeFi protocols is that they are simple, transparent and efficient compared to traditional lenders. The asset that the NFT uses as collateral is sent to a secure smart contract, which acts as an unbiased, automated third-party program to complete the entire lending and lending process. Lenders assess the fair value of the collateral, often by looking at the asset's past performance, sales history, or floor price similar to an NFT. Once the two parties agree on terms, the NFT is transferred from the borrower's wallet to an escrow account, with the smart contract facilitating the borrowing and lending.
