Description

Hifi Finance, operated by Mainframe Group Inc., is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, offering fixed-rate, fixed-term borrowing and lending services. The platform is non-custodial, allowing users to borrow against tokenized assets, including crypto and Real World Assets (RWAs) like commercial real estate, vintage cars, and medical equipment. The protocol is governed by the Hifi DAO, where HIFI token holders can propose and vote on changes via platforms like Tally. Hifi's strategy focused on growing its Total Value Locked (TVL) by expanding RWA integration and enhancing its protocol and token economics. However, recent updates indicate significant challenges, with the team stating, 'We do not see a viable path forward.'
