DeFi Jobs

About Fortunafi

Fortunafi is a crypto-native finance provider. We offer higher-yield investment products through the acquisition, pooling, and securitization of real world assets on-chain. We are one of the first sponsors to be approved for executing real world asset securitization on-chain. Stablecoins have emerged as an essential building block - providing lending and payments - for the DeFi ecosystem. Today, stablecoins are backed by zero-yield fiat (USDC) or volatile cryptocurrencies (DAI). Fortunafi’s mission is to issue high-quality, real world assets on chain. Fortunafi bridges the gap between real-world asset issuers that seek liquidity, and DeFi investors that seek high-quality, attractive yields.
