According to a Thursday announcement , the decentralized lending platform Wildcat, created by well-known cryptocurrency Twitter figure Laurence Day, has launched its v2 version on Ethereum. The project's X account posted, "Wildcat V2 has just been deployed to the mainnet." According to the announcement, the deployment cost 0.06969 ETH (about $180). Day noted that while the mainnet launch has progressed smoothly and the "quiet technical part" is mostly over, it will take about a week to fully complete. The protocol was co-founded by Dillon Kellar, the founder of Indexed Finance, and Evgeny Gaevoy of Wintermute as a "silent" partner. Essentially, it is an open market designed to enable approved borrowers to build on-chain credit tools with fixed interest rates. "Approved borrowers" refer to borrowers who formally accept all loan agreement terms and conditions.
