We aim to develop an innovative DeFi lending platform leveraging blockchain technology to offer financial services to underbanked communities. This platform will facilitate peer-to-peer lending, providing access to loans without traditional banking requirements, using social tokens for credit scoring and community trust.

📋Project Details

Our SME company seeks a skilled freelancer to build a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform tailored for underbanked communities. This platform will enable individuals to access loans through a peer-to-peer network, utilizing blockchain technology to ensure transparency, security, and efficiency.

This project addresses a critical need for financial inclusivity, presenting a scalable model for reaching global markets.
