    Taking collateral out of DeFi

    Incubated by VC firm A16Z, Teller aims to bring unsecured lending to decentralized finance, using Chainlink’s price oracles to get interest rates right

    The latest entrant in the blazing hot decentralized finance arena, Teller’s goal is to provide a bridge between traditional finance and DeFi adoption “by lowering the industry’s barrier to entry.” Specifically, by eliminating the need to put up crypto collateral often worth 150% or more of the amount borrowed. Teller also will incorporate data from legacy credit scoring systems including Equifax.
