NEXO is the token of Nexo, a centralized crypto lending and earning platform that lets users deposit crypto as collateral for instant credit lines, or earn yield on idle holdings. Holding and staking NEXO unlocks tiered benefits across the platform — higher yields, lower borrowing rates and reduced fees — similar in spirit to how exchange tokens like BNB or KCS unlock perks on their own platforms. Nexo is a centralised lending platform: users deposit crypto to earn interest or borrow against holdings, with the company managing the credit risk rather than a smart contract managing collateral automatically. The distinction matters enormously, and 2022 proved it — several centralised lenders failed while over-collateralised on-chain lending protocols continued to liquidate and function. Nexo survived that period. The NEXO token provides better rates and terms on the platform. Anyone comparing it with a DeFi lending token should be clear that these are different businesses with different failure modes.
How is Nexo different from a DeFi lending protocol?
A company manages the credit risk and the deposits, rather than a smart contract holding collateral and liquidating automatically. That is a fundamentally different structure.
Why does that distinction matter?
In 2022 several centralised lenders failed while over-collateralised on-chain protocols continued functioning. The failure modes are different: counterparty risk versus liquidation risk.
What does the NEXO token provide?
Better interest rates, borrowing terms and benefits on the platform for holders.
What should be checked with any centralised lender?
What the deposits are lent against, whether it is disclosed, and what happens to depositors if the company fails.
