Kasu
Kasu is a real-world asset (RWA) private credit lending platform built on Base that lets DeFi lenders deposit USDC to earn yields of roughly 12-25% APY from real-world private credit markets. Loans are originated and curated by exclusive 'Delegates' (credit originators) such as Apxium, and are directed to high-creditworthy accounting and law firms and their clients across the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia.

Description
Kasu is an RWA infrastructure platform that blends DeFi and TradFi capital solutions to deliver private credit lending to real-world businesses. Lenders deploy USDC into Lending Strategies — Professional Fee Funding, Whole Ledger Funding, and Taxation Funding (Tax Pay) — that finance invoices, accounts receivable/work-in-progress, and tax payments for accounting and law firms and their clients, sourced through the platform's exclusive Delegates (credit originators), most notably its launch partner Apxium, an Accounts Receivable Automation and Smart Payments technology company. Kasu's proprietary technology reduces borrowers' debtor days and payment processing costs, thereby lowering credit risk and enabling higher risk-adjusted yields (roughly 12-25% APY) for lenders than are typically available even to institutional investors. The platform uses loan tranching (Senior/Mezzanine/Junior) to allocate risk and returns, and features a native $KASU token (not yet launched) that grants loyalty tiers, APY bonuses, priority access/withdrawal, and protocol fee sharing. Kasu also operates the Kasu Kings NFT collection, which provides yield boosts and ecosystem privileges. The platform requires KYC/KYB and runs on Base mainnet, serving everyday DeFi lenders, TradFi asset managers, and creditworthy professional services firm borrowers in Tier 1 economies.Grant Funding
