About Goldfinch

Goldfinch (GFI) is a decentralized credit protocol that provides real-world loans to businesses in emerging markets — particularly fintech companies in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Unlike other DeFi lending, Goldfinch uses 'trust through consensus' rather than crypto collateral — real-world borrowers are verified by Auditors, and liquidity is deployed by Backers who first-loss capital in specific pools. Senior Pool LPs provide capital passively. GFI token holders vote on Auditor whitelists, protocol parameters, and Borrower pools. Goldfinch has financed $100M+ in real-world credit.

How to Swap GFI

Swapping Goldfinch (GFI) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since GFI is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select GFI as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send GFI to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.

How to Store GFI

GFI (ERC-20) is stored in MetaMask, Ledger, or any Ethereum wallet. Participating in Goldfinch lending requires identity verification on the protocol.
