About Lendr.fi

Vision and Impact:

 
At Lendr.fi, we envision a world where every person has equal access to financial opportunities empowering them to build wealth and prosperity for themselves. We aim to accelerate this vision by making every asset class globally accessible through Web3. 
 
To achieve this goal, we are building the world's first liquid staked real world asset token protocol. Our protocol creates real world asset (RWA) index tokens for any asset class, including real estate, AI & robotics, healthcare, energy, commodities, and more. 

These tokens are compliant in multiple jurisdictions globally, and compatible with all existing DeFi protocols, allowing us to beat the returns of anything currently available in Web2 or Web3. 

Lendr.fi is MakerDAO + Lido for RWAs. 
 
The RWA tokenization market is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, compared to the current $3.5 trillion valuation of all crypto. We intend to capture a significant portion of this growth.
 

Achievements

• 1st place in BNB Chain and Chainlink hackathons.

Culture

 
We are a highly ambitious, fast-paced, remote-first company assembling a superstar team that can build Lendr.fi into one of the top DeFi protocols in the world. We are searching exclusively for highly motivated individuals with a proven track record of building and growing Web3 protocols. We're a small team, which lends itself to high degrees of autonomy, impact, accountability, and the expectation for high execution power and attention to detail without compromise.
