## What is Backed Protocol?
Backed Protocol enables peer to peer loans with NFTs as collateral. Borrowers state their minimum terms--minimum loan amount, minimum duration, and maximum interest rate. Lenders can immediately start the loan by meeting or beating these terms. Throughout the loan duration, the lender on a loan can be bought out be a new lender who offers better terms, at least a 10% improvement on some dimensions: loan amount, duration, or interest rate.
