The BAYC spawned a few official offspring collections in BAKC and MAYC form. Right now, the BAKC NFTs have a minimum value of about 8.6 ETH or $27,000, and BAYC NFTs have a floor price of $316,000. NFTs represent one of the biggest sectors in the Ethereum space and account for $25 billion in total sales volume in 2021. It has become even more popular than DEFI as the set of blockchain-based protocols which allows people to swap assets and get loans.

FODL however knows something about risks. The platform allows users to make leveraged trades and in crypto, leverage is borrowed capital just as it is in traditional finance. On FODL, it means that the traders can invest more money for potential gains by using debt in a flash loan from Compound or Aave to increase the amount they are trading with.

Flash Loans are used to take advantage of arbitrage situations where an asset is trading at different prices on platforms which is a type of trade where a large amount of money can be borrowed and used to be repaid. The flash loans are then used to gather more leverage beyond the principal. Bigger risks bring bigger rewards.
