What’s behind the launch of 8lends? | Revealing the concept

Most importantly, 8lends is NOT a replacement for Maclear — it’s our next step forward.

We’re launching the Web3 platform to keep up with the technologies moving fast and reshaping the landscape.

🎯 It’s our commitment to growing the investor community beyond — covering more countries, easing barriers for new investors and building a more inclusive lending space; which also contributes to providing more financial support to SMEs across Europe.

The Web3 ecosystem empowers us to:

🟠 Automate payouts through smart contracts
🟠 Reduce fees
🟠 Speed up the investment process and transactions
🟠 Open new markets and formats beyond traditional finance

One of the unique features of 8lends is that we’ve carried over the same high standards, principles and practices that we use at Maclear.

🟠 Loans backed up by real-world collateral
🟠 Verified borrowers
🟠 Full investor protection

8lends operates with the same expertise and is fully managed and secured by Maclear.

Our Web3 crowdlending platform is created for those who already value security, stable returns, and now want to unlock even more potential.

🟠 Want to explore 8lends? Leave “higher returns” in the comments, and we’ll send you a step-by-step guide to get started.

📌 This post is fully devoted to frequent doubts and concerns

Our team notices each and every question, concern or tiny detail you raise, keeping you constantly informed.

To get your feedback even more informative, we conducted a full-scale survey on 8lends, asking you to share some personal experiences.

That’s how this post was born — we’re addressing the issues that might bother you.

#1 Concern: Too many promos make it suspicious

Our bonus programs are developed to help new users get through the P2P investing process faster and easier.

All extra payments are from the marketing budget. This doesn’t affect the sustainability of our business model.

#2 Concern: Who are the borrowers? Any proofs?

Every borrower undergoes a stringent 40-step Maclear’s verification process. Full legal info, financial statements, and collateral — it’s a must.

Moreover, we’re conducting more on-site audits and sharing the cases for your reassurance. You can check our YouTube blog, for instance.

#3 Concern: What about taxes?

We don’t withhold any taxes from private investors.

Neither we provide any tax advice as this depends entirely on your jurisdiction.

#4 Concern: Web3 is difficult to navigate

For many, this may seem challenging. That’s why we do our best to help: an online video course, team support, and easy wallet connection. Plus, you can always choose investing with Maclear if you prefer fiat currency.

🟢Anything else to clarify? Leave your questions in the comments below, and we’ll create one more post.

Afraid of losing your money? Here’s why you won’t and can even earn more 🟠

8lends maintains the same high level of investor protection that you already value with Maclear, while offering higher returns and automation through the Web3 mechanisms.

🟠Same security measures

Maclear oversees all the processes, ensuring due diligence and compliance with AML, KYC, and GDPR requirements.

🟠Borrower’s assessment

Risk scoring is carried out through the same stringent procedures, meaning that only the safest projects are added to the platform.

🟠Smart contracts

This feature automatically guarantees the fulfillment of conditions from the both sides, while also speeding up the processes.

🟠Real assets

We find this the most efficient way to secure the loans and keep your funds safe — you directly invest in real sector businesses, being backed up by collateral.

🟠No middlemen

The Web3 space makes it possible to eliminate any third parties (like banks) and secure low-cost transactions.

🟠Returns

ROI is higher due to lower operating costs, wider pool of borrowers and funds.

🟠 So, we guarantee the same reliability of the platform, now with the improved conditions.
