2. Introduction to Huma Finance
Huma Finance is a DeFi (Decentralized Finance) protocol that facilitates loans with less than 100% collateral, using future income as collateral. Unlike traditional DeFi lending platforms (such as Aave or Compound), which require over-collateralization (e.g., 150% collateral), Huma allows borrowers to access capital more efficiently while maintaining security through smart contracts and credit delegation mechanisms.
Key Features:
✅ Income-backed loans – Users can borrow against verifiable future income.
✅ Credit delegation pools
– Lenders can delegate funds to trusted borrowers.
✅ Risk assessment algorithms
– AI and on-chain data analyze creditworthiness.
✅ Multi-chain compatibility
– Currently on Ethereum, with plans for expansion.
