About

Nukem Loans is a protocol revolving around a set of smart contracts that enhance meme communities by creating their own token economy through establishment of permissionless lending markets created by lenders. At first, the lending market will be deployed manually by the Nukem team, eventually allowing for permissionless market deployment when protocol will be stable enough.
