Mission

Goldfinch is doing what DeFi was always meant to do.

Goldfinch is a credit protocol for tomorrow, built on-chain with interoperability and access for all.

Goldfinch is on a mission to expand access to capital by creating a single global credit marketplace. That means everyone, from startups in Lagos to institutions in New York, can borrow from the same capital markets and that all investors can access those deals directly.

For too long, the financial system has been fragmented and owned by everyone except the users. We believe that crypto offers a reset and that everyone can participate in this transformative financial renaissance.
