Acacia Digital Holdings (Acacia), a pioneering venture investment firm empowering businesses focusing on trading, mining, and early-stage investments, has announced a strategic investment in the world’s first guarantor based DeFi lending platform BuddyDAO.

The move forms part of a calculated expansion in Acacia’s disruptive crypto investment portfolio.

Acacia Digital Holdings (Acacia) — A Bold Investment Approach

With an ideology to ‘Invest and partner with early-stage blockchain companies, who are solving complex problems in large markets’, Acacia was launched in 2021. Acacia takes a bold stance in their investment approach as they back only the projects they feel add value to the blockchain ecosystem.

Investing in the first guarantor based DeFi Lending platform BuddyDAO aligns with Acacia’s ethos and strategic goals. As an early investor and supporter, Acacia Digital Holdings recognizes both the long-term potential of BuddyDAO as well as their unique approach of leveraging borrowers’ off-chain personal relationship with guarantors enabling everyone including the unbanked to take instant and easy loans.

Besides investment funds that will support the continuing developments and growth of the BuddyDAO platform, Acacia will also offer network and cross-marketing support for the world’s first guarantor based DeFi lending platform.

“We’re excited about collaborating with the highly successful Acacia Digital Holdings team who share our long-term visions for making DeFi lending and borrowing the most accessible around the world. This relationship will benefit us with additional opportunities and industry connections that will drive more value for our community members too. We are delighted to welcome Acacia on our ambitious journey,” says Jack Kellerher, BuddyDAO CEO.

“This strategic alliance with Acacia is the latest institutional move by BuddyDAO as we work to establish ourselves as the dominant player in the DeFi lending and borrowing markets,” adds Jack.

DeFi loans made accessible to Everyone Including the Unbanked With BuddyDAO

BuddyDAO’s vision of an inclusive guarantor based DeFi lending platform is the best fit for all those including the unbanked population around the world seeking financial help. Most DeFi platforms offer loans to borrowers against the collaterals. But the traditional financial system doesn’t work that way. Anyone can take loans from the banks without putting down any collateral.

BuddyDAO wants to implement the same thing in the ‘DeFi world’ with the Uncollateralized Loans. BuddyDAO is porting what’s working in the transformation from TradFi to DeFi. This will allow everyone to participate and get loans in just a few seconds without putting down any collateral.

Leveraging Off-Chain Relationships

As the platform is open for everyone including the unbanked, the main challenge that BuddyDAO faced was that there wasn’t enough on-chain data such as credit scores for lenders to decide the default rate for a given borrower.

Hence, BuddyDAO came up with a solution of bringing a guarantor along with the borrowers. This guarantor must know the borrower closely and he certainly should have a lot of off-chain data about the borrower to predict his creditworthiness.

BuddyDAO leverages this on-chain data to analyze each borrower assuring lenders to invest freely.
