IQ Protocol, a project which creates both fungible token and NFT lending & renting market frameworks, has announced a successful fundraising round that includes backing from over 30 blue-chip VCs and private investors. 

IQ Protocol’s framework of wrapped expirable assets allows risk-free renting without the need for collateral. The framework supports both fungible tokens, creating sound tokenized subscription models, and NFTs, allowing users to rent GameFi and metaverse assets (such as weapons, characters, and skins) for a fixed period.
