About Lendr Network
Vision and Impact
At Lendr Network, our vision is for every real world asset investment sector to be globally and equally accessible through Web3/DeFi, with a strong focus on doing social good.
To achieve this goal, we are creating fully decentralized real world asset (RWA) index tokens for any asset class, including real estate, AI & robotics, healthcare, energy, commodities, and more. Enabling investors to diversify on-chain and use any RWAs in any DeFi protocol. (Think MakerDAO but for RWA tokens.)
The RWA tokenization market is projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, compared to the current $2.5 trillion valuation of all crypto. We intend to capture a significant portion of this growth.
Achievements
We are proud members of the Avalanche Codebase and Chainlink BUILD accelerators, and 1st place winners in BNB Chain and Chainlink hackathons.
Culture
We are a highly ambitious, fast-paced, remote-first company assembling a superstar team that can build Lendr into one of the top DeFi protocols in the world. We are searching exclusively for highly motivated individuals with a proven track record of building and growing Web3 protocols. We're still a small team, which lends itself to high degrees of autonomy, impact, accountability, and the expectation for high execution power and attention to detail without compromise.
