Please describe your proposed solution.

Lending Pond will use NFT collateralization/token collateralization each time a individual borrows a NFT. The collateral will deposited into a smart contract, and the borrower of the NFT can return the NFT and rent payment to retrieve their collateral.

This Renting Platform will be 100% functional and open for any nft project or user to use. It will be designed and branded by lending pond. There will also be several partnerships with NFT projects to promote using smart contracts vs using a traditional escrow system.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

A NFT renting platform will be able to integrate with many different NFT projects that require a NFT to play or move to the next level. Generally this tool will be most beneficial toward games with in game economies.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

The biggest risk is ensuring that the Plutus scripts are safe and resistant to hacks. It will be important to spend extra time and funds to ensuring security.
