About Hifi Finance

Hifi Finance (formerly Mainframe) is a fixed-rate lending protocol on Ethereum enabling borrowers to take out zero-interest loans using ERC-20 tokens as collateral. The protocol uses a bond-like mechanism: borrowers mint hTokens (zero-coupon bonds) that mature at a future date when they can redeem for face value USDC. The discount between current price and face value represents the implied interest rate. Lenders purchase discounted hTokens expecting full repayment at maturity. Unlike variable-rate DeFi lending, Hifi offers predictable fixed borrowing costs. HIFI tokens govern protocol parameters including which collateral types are accepted and interest rate parameters.
