Risks and Safeguards in Lending

Lending on Skew gives you the chance to earn fixed interest, but like all investing, it comes with some risk.

Here’s what to know:

  • Borrowers are vetted – Skew reviews identity, creditworthiness, and financial background before any loan is approved.
  • Collateral is required – Borrowers must lock in crypto or other approved assets to secure the loan and protect your funds.
  • You choose the loan – You can view borrower profiles, loan terms, and make your own decisions.

But:


Because this is peer-to-peer lending, there’s always a chance a borrower could fail to repay. Defaults are uncommon, but possible.


Skew has systems to help recover funds, but losses can still occur.

The best protection is smart lending. Use the info provided, lend only what you're comfortable with, and diversify if possible.
