DeFiner

mission

Our mission at DeFiner is to help users gain financial freedom by building a truly decentralized finance network for crypto savings and loans.

current challenges

The DeFi industry is still on its way to true decentralization. The current DeFi lending protocols serve as gatekeepers with the right to decide which tokens will be a part of their pool. Some protocols have introduced the DAO governance model to decide which coin will be listed on their platform. However, even with a DAO, this design is still considered a centralized framework because power is still with a small group of people. 

When DeFiner reaches maturity, our ultimate goal is to have a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that will be solely run by the community. We want our DAO to be a robust governance system that gives the DeFiner community complete control to manage the protocol.
