Why Invest?

Potential for Improved Collateral

The quality and liquidity of the collateral securing a loan can impact its capability to protect capital in the event of default. Faster resolution times and higher recovery rates are critical to maintaining a conservative risk profile.

Seek to Manage Collateral Risks

No one person or organization is a single point of failure. Collateral is managed through multi-institutional custody, requiring 2-of-3 keys to spend. Transactions are viewable on the blockchain, making custody and proof of collateral auditable.
