Xend Finance began as a blockchain DeFi platform modeled after traditional credit unions but has since shifted its focus to become a pioneer in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Further details on this transition are available in the project’s Whitepaper.

Positioning itself at the leading edge of financial innovation, Xend Finance connects traditional finance (TradFi) with DeFi. Building upon its existing infrastructure—which comprises Auto Yield, SwitchWallet, XendBridge, MADWallet, and other tools—the platform is introducing tokenization for assets such as real estate, art, stocks, and intellectual properties (IPs).

This ecosystem provides services including yield aggregation, fiat-to-crypto on/off ramps, and multi-chain wallet infrastructure. These features enable users to easily obtain fractional ownership of tangible assets, opening access to investment opportunities that were previously restricted to a small group.

Additionally, Xend Finance aims to democratize wealth creation by making investments like stocks and real estate accessible to all. The project serves individual retailers, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large institutions. This inclusive strategy removes geographical and financial barriers, allowing people from various backgrounds to participate in wealth-generating activities and raise capital from a diverse range of investors and investment sizes.

Xend Finance was co-founded by Aronu Ugochukwu, who serves as the CEO. He also established Wicrypt and Ugarsoft, and was a co-founder of Ogwugo.

The other co-founder is Abafor Chima, the chief technology officer. His prior experience includes roles at Ogwugo, Ugarsoft, ByteWorks Technology Solutions, and Chevron.

Xend Finance acts as more than a simple platform; it serves as a driver for making global financial markets accessible to all. It offers a broad range of investment options, helping both individuals and companies manage their way through the changing financial environment.

The system features an easy-to-use interface that streamlines how users handle various assets in one place. This allows for smooth transitions between Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

By leveraging blockchain technology, Xend provides clear visibility regarding who owns assets, past transactions, and specific details about the underlying assets. This focus on transparency builds trust and accountability, fostering a more inclusive and active financial ecosystem.

Governance is centered on the community, utilizing a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure to manage decisions.

The total cap for Xend Finance (RWA) is set at 200,000,000 tokens. As of March 2021, there is no information available regarding the circulating supply.

The Xend Finance network operates on the Binance Smart Chain. Its security relies on a Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus model, which allows 21 validators to stake BNB, the native token of BSC.

Xend Finance (RWA) is available for trading on these platforms:

• Uniswap (V3)
• Gate.IO
