What is Nexo?

Founded by a team of crypto enthusiasts and finance professionals, Nexo was first announced in December 2017 and finally launched in April 2018. In essence, Nexo is a blockchain-based lending platform that allows its users to get instant loans backed by cryptocurrencies. In order to receive a loan, the users will need to deposit an accepted cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP) or Ether (ETH). The cryptocurrency is kept as collateral for the users to receive a loan in the form of government-backed fiat currencies or stablecoins.

The native token for the Nexo platform is NEXO. NEXO can be locked in the Nexo platform, and the users who choose to do so will gain benefits such as discounts on interest accumulated on loans and the opportunity to receive interest payments on funds deposited. NEXO token holders also receive regular payments of profits from Nexo’s profits. It is worth noting that Nexo crypto has a fixed supply of 1 billion NEXO tokens.

Nexo Loans

In order to make use of Nexo crypto loans, users will have to go through a number of steps. First of all, the users will have to transfer their cryptocurrency (that Nexo accepts) to their Nexo accounts. The Nexo Oracle will then receive validations, and on that basis start to calculate the loan limit amounts and prepare for its provision.

The users will then collect the loan almost instantaneously through bank transfer or Nexo card. You can choose a currency based on your preferences, whichever is most convenient, in which the funds will be denominated. If there is an increase in the price value of the cryptocurrency that the user has transferred, the Nexo Oracle will also increase the loan limit amount.

There are many different ways for users to repay their loans, including bank transfers and making payments with crypto assets or fiat currencies. Users who use the native currency of the Nexo platform will be able to get special discounts.

Users will also have the option to repay their loans by partially selling the crypto assets found in Nexo accounts. In addition to that, crypto-assets can be partially or completely withdrawn from a Nexo account at any time, on the condition that they meet the obligatory limits relating to the outstanding balance.

Key Features

The Nexo platform comes with a number of important features that are unique and can offer great benefits to the Nexo community. Following is the list of key features of Nexo.

Crypto transaction fees may vary depending on the network (Ethereum transaction fees tend to spike during the congestion on the network), your chosen cryptocurrency, an instant exchange provider as well as its transaction processing speed and internal policy. These fees may be relatively low but it’s crucial to know they may be imposed in the first place.

If you want to exchange cryptocurrency with the lowest fees, beware of the offers with a grey-colored “Transaction fees are not included” label displayed under the exchange rate. To avoid having to pay an unexpected amount of fees during the exchange, opt for those that do not have that label.

What is average transaction time?

Transactions usually take from 5 to 30 minutes to be processed, especially if you choose currencies with speedy networks. However, there are several factors that may affect and slow down the exchange process, i.e. transaction volume, blockchain capacity, network updates, cryptocurrency itself and the capacity or chosen exchange platforms.

The processing may take longer due to the large transaction volume, congestion of the network, blockchain overload and market overload, technical issues or system failures, lack of liquidity or network maintenance.

The transaction may be also stuck if you forget to add a required Extra ID, mistake networks or use the wrong wallet for a chosen crypto asset. If you worry that the exchange processing is taking too long, please, contact us at [email protected] or via our live chat on the landing page.
