Rebuilding market liquidity by offering the next generation digital asset platform that solves for capital efficiency, access, and security.

Background

After the downfall of major centralized lenders, the digital asset market lost access to fundamental infrastructure required to facilitate lending.

As more participants have become sensitive to counterparty risk, the ability and willingness to lend and trade has dropped. While demand remains robust, the market lacks the appropriate structure to offer both capital efficiency and security over assets.

There is little investor appetite for unsecured lending, demand for over-collateralized borrowing, or independent infrastructure available in order to facilitate bilateral undercollateralized lending on multiple platforms.

RWAs Current Landscape

The demand for Real World Assets (RWAs) on-chain is growing. Current offerings provide limited access while introducing unnecessary costs and risk.

Global regulatory and tax regimes are inconsistent and unclear, which results in reduced adoption of both blockchain technology and efficient use of digital assets.

The benefit of stablecoins is no longer debatable, but governments have been slow to create proper standards. This has created uneven adoption and has held back some high quality stablecoins from reaching scale while allowing others to grow unchecked.

Trident has three main objectives

  • Create financial structures that solve constraints, on- and off-chain, to grow the ecosystem safely and compliantly.

  • Rebuild market liquidity by offering a platform that minimizes counterparty exposure, provides additional security to lenders, and addresses capital constraints of borrowers.

  • Fill the gap created by inconsistencies in tax and regulatory regimes and help good projects achieve the full benefits of digital assets and blockchain technologies.
