Goldfinch is:

Goldfinch is a decentralized credit platform for collateral-free cryptocurrency loans. It is the missing piece that finally opens up cryptocurrency lending to most people in the world. There are two types of issuance of a mining pool tranche: a senior tranche – increasing the priority of value over the others – a junior tranche. The senior tranche loan option and personal privileges are given to the borrower if the borrower adjusts the repayments and terms. The higher tier is sponsored by partners who receive a share of their assets, thereby gaining the opportunity for substantial passive income. This increases the motivation for sponsors to participate in the project and to raise money for the operation of the protocol. Profits distributed to sponsors stimulates the desire to invest and participate in small projects, due to the fact that, the receipt of risks in small businesses is minimal. The borrower is entitled to a smart contract, which is created when the loan is received. On the basis of this there is the possibility of creating a pool of borrowers.

The impact in the real world Goldfinch is expanding access to capital in emerging markets where crypto can really expand access to financial services. 10k+ borrowers and growth Protocol is already serving thousands of borrowers across India, Mexico, Nigeria and Southeast Asia. Stable yields of 10%+ High-quality borrowers provide an expected 10 – 14% APR from real non-crypto activities. The protocol works by extending lines of credit to businesses. These businesses use their lines of credit to obtain stable coins from the pool and then exchange them for fiat and place them locally in their local markets. In this way, the protocol provides the utility of crypto, particularly its global access to capital, leaving the actual issuing and servicing of credit to the businesses that are best equipped to do so. On the investor side, cryptocurrency holders can contribute funds to the pool to generate income. When the lending companies return their interest payments back to the protocol, they are immediately paid to all investors.
