Specialism: DeFi

Project: A company that serves as a foundational DeFi primitive for the Filecoin ecosystem enables token holders to earn sustainable rewards by lending $FIL to a diverse pool of Filecoin miners, also known as Storage Providers. These providers borrow FIL as pledge collateral to expand their mining operations, thereby enhancing the security of the Filecoin network. By addressing capital inefficiencies similar to “liquid staking” solutions for PoS networks, the company has established itself as a trusted partner since 2019, receiving significant grant funding to build critical apps and tools for the ecosystem, including widely used web and multisig wallets that support employee payments, grants, and daily operations.
