Quantitative Risk Researcher

Traditional credit was built for people who already have money. Requirements for credit history, collateral, and costly underwriting create insurmountable barriers for those who need capital most—over 1.4B people lack access to credit. A vendor in Lagos earns cash daily but can't prove a steady income. A Colombian nurse with years of perfect informal repayments remains invisible to banks. Most lending systems spend a lot to guess who will repay—and yet so many who are creditworthy still can’t get a loan.

We built Credit to work differently—to reveal creditworthiness through a borrower’s actual behavior. Since launching in December 2024, Credit has issued over 175,000 loans to more than 100,000 unique borrowers using stablecoins on World Chain, with decisions and settlement in seconds and no paperwork, collateral, or data beyond a wallet address.

Join us in advancing open, fair credit.
