Get cash without having to sell your crypto holdings
Onchain borrowing made easy — for everyone
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocols are applications that run on blockchain networks like Ethereum and allow users to borrow or lend crypto assets. Rocko’s simple-to-use platform reduces the time and complexity so consumers of all levels can easily borrow from popular DeFi protocols — starting with Compound — in order to access cash¹ or USDC at competitive rates.
Borrow up to 80% of the value of your ETH or BTC² — with flexible loan terms
Use Rocko to access better loan-to-value ratios, more competitive rates, and more flexible loan terms than offered by many traditional lenders.3 Take out your loan for as little or as long as you like.4 And, with no monthly minimum payments!
Use your loan for things like:
Use your loan how you want
With Rocko, you can quickly get funds with no credit check required. Use your loan to purchase real estate, pay down higher-rate debt, make everyday purchases, and much more.
Get a LoanBorrow at ease knowing your crypto collateral is not being lent to others
Unlike many centralized crypto lenders, Compound does not allow for the rehypothecation of assets. This means when you take out a loan using Rocko, your collateral is not lent to other borrowers. Instead, it is locked in a smart contract until you repay your loan. Additionally, all loans are transparent and can be audited onchain.

Rocko smart wallets are fully non-custodial, meaning only you have access to any funds they hold and to the private key (a secret code that allows you to access and control your wallet). Rocko leverages industry-leading solutions to deploy smart wallets and protect private keys. Your private key is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave provided by Turnkey, accessible only by you. Additionally, your smart wallet is created using Kernel — a popular and highly-audited modular smart account. You can review Kernel's audits on their Github page.
1The loan will be denominated in USDC but can be converted into USD using centralized exchanges such as Coinbase.
2BTC will need to be converted into cbBTC or WBTC to be used as collateral for a loan. You can learn more about this process in this detailed guide.
3 Interest rates and loan terms, including max LTV, are determined by Compound, a lending protocol. Interest rates can fluctuate in real-time based on market forces. You can learn more about them in this detailed guide.
4Loans offered by Compound are open-ended, meaning borrowers can repay at any time as long as the loan-to-value ratio for their loan remains below the liquidation threshold. Learn more about Compound in this detailed overview.
