Altitude, a DeFi lending platform, has successfully raised $6.1 million in a seed funding round, signalling a growing demand for innovative solutions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending sector. The funding highlights the urgency to address critical challenges within the space. Altitude distinguishes itself by automating dormant funds in overcollateralized loans, aiming to enhance capital efficiency. Despite lending being a dominant use case in DeFi, with over one-third of the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi apps by the end of 2023, over-collateralization remains a significant hurdle. Altitude's unique approach involves dynamically adjusting the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio in real-time, offering a solution to maximize capital efficiency while ensuring a secure liquidation risk profile. Having completed a $6.1 million seed round and with plans for expansion and integration with leading lending protocols, Altitude aims to transform the DeFi lending space.
