PWN, the DeFi mortgage protocol, has successfully raised $2 million in funding, propelling its valuation to an impressive $42 million, as announced by Tereza Starostová, the firm’s CMO.
It’s worth noting that PWN had previously secured funding from Dialectic and angel investors such as Patricio Worthalter, Tim Beiko, Will Harborne, Kenneth Ng, and Chris Waclawek.
The raised funds will be utilized by PWN to further develop its Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and empower its community to exercise control over decentralized mortgage financing. Additionally, PWN plans to deploy EVMs (Ethereum Virtual Machines), enhance collateral value assessments, introduce customized loan flows, and implement other accessibility features, as revealed by Starostová.
Josef Je, co-founder of PWN, stated, “With the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies and the rise of the crypto-native movement, the demand for these loans will only increase. An infrastructure-building protocol like PWN represents an undeniable opportunity enabling DeFi mortgages at scale.”

Through its peer-to-peer platform, PWN allows individuals to secure loans by utilizing digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and NFTs, as collateral.
