Company Info

Teller Finance is a decentralized lending protocol in DeFi that makes unsecured crypto loans and unsecured borrowing possible by using real-world credit data. It connects lenders and borrowers through non-custodial liquidity pools, where users can earn yield or take loans without depending only on collateral. Unlike typical DeFi lending platforms, Teller Finance combines off-chain financial data with on-chain lending. It uses Credit Risk Algorithms (CRAs) to evaluate a borrower’s creditworthiness. This approach links traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi), making the lending process more flexible, efficient, and easier to access.

 

Key Features of Teller Finance:

 

  • Runs as a non-custodial protocol, so users always keep control of their assets.
  • Lending markets are split into isolated pools with custom terms to reduce risk.
  • Autonomous Teller Machines (ATMs) are smart contracts that process loan requests using verified data.
  • Supports an open lending marketplace where borrowers and lenders set flexible terms.
  • Loans can be used for yield farming, arbitrage, margin trading, and liquidity mining.
