Credifi aims to lower unsecured credit costs by using cryptography and DeFi to reduce verification, underwriting, and enforcement friction. By improving trust and information efficiency, it targets cheaper, more accessible credit beyond overcollateralized lending.

"And today’s system is far from optimal. At the time of writing, the average interest rate on an unsecured personal loan hovers around 25%, and lenders often tack on origination fees of up to 10%. For a prime borrower (credit score 670–739), that can translate into a total cost approaching 35%. Less-fortunate borrowers can see rates approach 45%, if they even qualify for credit. High interest rates aren’t simply a product of greed. They stem from the difficulty and uncertainty of pricing default risk, the costs of originating loans, servicing them over time, and enforcing repayment when defaults occur."
