Imagine you hold assets in multiple ecosystems, but an opportunity for you appears on Arbitrum. You need to collateralize some funds to borrow USDC — what do you do? You could bridge the funds from every other chain to Arbitrum, spending a lot of time while paying a lot of fees.

Or you could use Folks. Simply deposit from any chain and borrow on Arbitrum, effortlessly.
