Xend Finance
Submit a BugProgram Overview
Xend Finance (XF) is a decentralized Credit Union protocol built to optimize, improve and add value to the core operations of credit unions globally. Xend Finance gives individuals, groups, cooperatives and credit unions in countries with unstable currencies access to a global trustless and stable-currency savings, lending, investing and borrowing network.
Xend Finance has also developed a Layer 2 DeFi infrastructure that automatically seeks out the best yields in DeFi by optimizing and automatically aggregating existing DeFi lending protocols. This infrastructure was designed to maintain high yield with influx of users and capital from traditional finance into decentralized finance as well as provide a better user experience for investors seeking the best yields in DeFi.
Centralized and Fiat savings platforms are always limited by fees and cross-border payment regulations that limit investing in other countries. With Xend Finance, anyone, whether individuals, cooperatives or credit unions, anywhere in the world can save, lend and invest in different DeFi protocols and start earning interests instantly.
