1/ Defi is a spectrum, not a monolith. When a tremendous amount of really-smart people focus on a problem, you don't just get one outcome. @goldfinch_fi is a specific flavor of Defi focused on Real World Assets (RWA), a nuance worth understanding. Here’s why 🧵

6 months later this still rings true.

Borrowers are FinTechs + credit funds driving off-chain growth worldwide.
Pools are fully collateralized off-chain by real-world assets and income.
Built for long-term, sustainable yields, that won’t disappear with crypto market volatility.

This week, @seyob & @obinnaokwodu - from @goldfinch_fi - take over The Flip Notes to tell us how

While working on @goldfinch_fi, I keep wishing we could message some of these addresses. Just to ask for input/feedback, understand what they're thinking. Would def pay for it, and could be totally anonymous. Is anyone building that?

5/ @goldfinch_fi does all of this via utilizing USDC. A stablecoin backed 1:1 by dollar reserves which are attested to on a monthly basis by a 3rd party, and has historically weathered multiple storms

[Sam Eyob @seyob]

@0xHamz @goldfinch_fi Oh, some misconceptions here as:

1) protocol 100% underwrites other underwriters (e.g. fintechs and/or credit funds who lend to fintechs)
2) 0% P2P to date
3) Global, or TBH just EM fintech TAM is sizeable
4) Amort is on the roadmap

Hopefully helpful bits of info

@0xHamz If you’re a fan of 1st principles thinking, check out @goldfinch_fi , real world productive use cases, coupled with market rate cash yields (I.e. non recursive yields), whilst bridging Defi into impactful existing existing use cases.

/1 Want DeFi to grow 100x from here? The answer is to be boring!
That means DeFi needs to move away from speculation and into boring, everyday financial activity.
Not NFT’s, gaming, or web3 social. Those are all great for crypto. But they won’t help DeFi. Here’s why 🧵

@stablegains Have you looked at RWA strategies as one of many pieces to develop a diversified portfolio?

[Goldfinch @goldfinch_fi]

Important reminder:
@goldfinch_fi’s stablecoin rates, protocol revenue, and borrowing volume holding steady while most protocols experience a flatline or decline in core metrics is a testament to the long-term stability of bringing real-world investment to crypto.👇🧵
