🔍 RESEARCH: Moving private credit onchain isn’t just about access—it’s about alignment.

The real challenge lies in harmonizing three layers: retail participation, rigorous underwriting, and legally enforceable claims.

Hybrid models with structured access keep funding and ownership onchain, while borrower due diligence, physical collateral, and default enforcement operate within regulated legal frameworks.
