Goldfinch

Every step along the way, we must identify the main constraint to growth and find ways to remove it. We can think of the constraints in terms of the different sides of the Goldfinch marketplace: borrowers, backers, and LPs. Right now, the recent new pools show ample demand from high quality borrowers. But backers and LPs are still a constraint. We can solve this constraint in three core ways —

Engine: The core functionality of the protocol. There are a number of core functional elements of the protocol that we still need to build in order to enable massive scale. We need to finish building this engine.

Access: The ability and ease for people to use the protocol. Even with an engine built, there are limits to who might be able to access it. We need to make it incredibly easy for anyone in the world to use Goldfinch — from individuals all the way to major institutions.

Community: The group of people building the protocol’s engine and access. None of this is possible without an amazing community to make it happen. We need to foster the community of people who will build this engine and improve people’s access to it.

We propose efforts across all three of these core areas, both for the immediate term (6 months) and mid term (6-12 months). We leave longer term efforts (12+ months) for future discussions after we learn from these efforts.
