Arcade enables borrowing and lending against NFTs on Ethereum, while Sharky.fi offers the first escrow-less NFT lending protocol on Solana. The key difference is the blockchain (Ethereum vs. Solana) and the escrow model (traditional vs. trustless). Arcade suits Ethereum NFT holders seeking familiar lending mechanics; Sharky.fi suits Solana users who prefer a direct, escrow-free process.

Arcade is a decentralized loan marketplace that lets users borrow and lend against NFTs. It enables NFT holders to unlock liquidity without selling, while lenders earn yield on their assets. As a leading platform on Ethereum, it facilitates peer-to-peer loans secured by NFT collateral.
Sharky is the first escrow-less NFT lending protocol on Solana, using an order-book model that lets lenders compete for borrowers. It enables users to borrow SOL against their NFTs or lend SOL to earn high APY, and holds the record for the most loans given against NFT collateral.
