# Start Here

**Welcome to** [**Flowty**](https://flowty.io/)**!**

Flowty is a platform that builds tools and services for NFT collectors, investors, traders, creators and builders on the [Flow blockchain](https://www.onflow.org/). Today, Flowty offers the following peer-to-peer (P2P) services:

* Secondary Marketplace
* NFT Loans
* NFT Rentals

**Secondary Marketplace** is where users can buy and sell their favorite NFTs. Read more about the secondary marketplace [here](https://docs.flowty.io/blog/announcing%20secondary%20marketplace).

**NFT Loans** can be thought of as a P2P pawn shop for NFTs. NFT owners can secure a personal loan using their NFTs as collateral. Anyone can fund loans and generate a return on capital with the downside protection of securing an NFT. 

Read more about Borrower use cases [here](https://docs.flowty.io/blog/use-cases-for-borrowers). Read more about Lender strategies [here](https://docs.flowty.io/blog/lender-use-cases-and-potential-strategies).

**NFT Rentals** allow users to \*safely\* rent NFTs from other users.
