[Pareto @paretocredit]

Pareto's TVL grew 340%+ in a single year.

Our Co-Founder & CEO @pan_teo_ on the two main drivers that compounded:

1/ Immutable credit history - every loan's drawdown and repayment on Pareto is recorded onchain, so institutional borrowers with a 1+ year track record are simply more trusted by LPs. Capital flows accordingly.

2/ Diligent underwriting - for @FalconXGlobal Credit Vault, @M11Credit turned raw data into a clear credit profile LPs can actually read and price.
