The Project

Our Partner is an R&D firm dedicated to building and advancing credit protocol primitives in the growing digital asset market.

Over the last three years they have built a team of passionate degens, ex-financers, researchers, developers, quantitative analysts and designers. This is a remote-first environment with a team split across APAC/Europe - with a team who regularly get together for in-person events, to align and strategise on focus.

This team is passionate about DeFi and the improvements it can bring towards more transparent, efficient and available financial systems - with the goal to continue to drive the crypto asset space forward through their R&D contribution.
