Yep, heaps of people have mentioned they're holding out for the new release to make loan requests!

In a sense, yes they still have "airdrop", it is planned that they will do a token buyback and give it to the active LENDer, so technically, if you actively lend and borrow, you can have an airdrop

ETHLEND huobi is listed as well an expert who has been on this market for a long time and I have been following says that LEND will soon be listed on a new stock exchange

love this projetc, btw, I got 500LEND (like airdrop) as a fee compensation from LEND team. anybody here got it?

that would support the bullish trend and the growth of altcoins need a good excitement around the coin, I have not seen news in popular media about this for a long time

Thanks for the support!

what were the prerequisites for such rapid growth twice? what did I miss? any announcements

Even amidst all the criticisms of lending platforms, Ethlend still stood out of the crowd and delivering its promises to the point that @CryptoStacker on twitter recommends it and make calls for its trading. Everybody that knows the guy will understand how he criticizes projects if he notices anything funny or shady about the project or the team members. Nice one Ethlend team. Just keep the fire burning and restore the faith people had in lending platforms before Bitconnet dashed it in the rock.
I just noticed that POStoken rebranding to Lend The Network (DUO) by the community take over team, is actually towing on the same line with Ethlend model

Where a portion of the principal remains at the end of the loan for repayment. i.e. on a car lease/finance offer, you can have a "balloon amount" of say 30%, which means that your repayments are lowered, but at the end of the loan term you need to pay back 30% in one go (or refinance it).
