Crypto investors in need of a decentralized credit protocol solution
About Goldfinch
The protocol makes crypto loans without crypto collateral. This is the missing piece that finally unlocks crypto lending for most people in the world. The Goldfinch community makes loans to companies around the world, starting with emerging markets. Goldfinch expands access to capital in emerging markets where crypto can truly empower financial inclusion. By incorporating the principle of trust through consensus, the Goldfinch protocol creates a way for borrowers to show creditworthiness based on the collective assessment of other participants rather than based on their crypto assets. The protocol can then use this collective assessment as a signal for automatically allocating capital. By removing the need for crypto collateral and providing a means for passive yield, the protocol dramatically expands both the potential borrowers who can access crypto and the potential capital providers who can gain exposure.

Taker
Taker is a liquidity protocol for novel crypto assets. It uses a quote-by-lock-in approach to price and allows asset holders to borrow stable coins. Taker starts with NFT assets to provide lending services for all kinds of novel crypto assets of the future. The Taker protocol designs a new model for NFT lending. Soon, NFT synthetic indexes will be introduced to DeFi NFT assets and stimulate the liquidity and turnovers of NFT’s. The Taker token ensures effective collaboration for holders to use their voting power and participate in community governance. The Layer 2 network is constructed using Polygon to reduce gas cost, improve asset turnovers, and expand data processing capacity. The network’s DeFi attributes and NFT ecology are supported by our protocol. We are working hard to implement the pool-based lending protocol, which will greatly improve the efficiency of NFT lending.

TrueFi
Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral. We’re proud to introduce TrueFi, a protocol for uncollateralized lending, and TRU, the native token used for staking and voting on loan requests. The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool.

Liquity
Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows you to draw 0% interest loans against Ether used as collateral. Loans are paid out in LUSD - a USD pegged stablecoin, and need to maintain a minimum collateral ratio of only 110%. In addition to the collateral, the loans are secured by a Stability Pool containing LUSD and by fellow borrowers collectively acting as guarantors of last resort. Learn more about these mechanisms under Liquidations. Liquity as a protocol is non-custodial, immutable and governance-free. Core to the ethos of Liquity, its product layer is just as decentralized as its smart contracts. All frontends are run by third party operators, who are incentivized to do so via LQTY rewards. Liquity was deployed as a complete system, set to run autonomously without human intervention. No one can change or upgrade the contracts and no one has special access.
