Forget what you know about DeFi. Some projects don’t just follow trends—they set them. @HumaFinance 🟣 is one of them, pioneering a brand-new DeFi category: PayFi (Payments + Financing).
By turning real income into on-chain collateral, Huma is revolutionizing how credit works in Web3. No banks. No middlemen. Just decentralized, permissionless credit.
🔍 What is Huma Finance?
Founded in 2022, Huma is the first on-chain PayFi network that uses real-world income and receivables—not crypto—as collateral.
📈 Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or gig worker, Huma allows you to borrow against your income stream—fast, fair, and fully on-chain.
💡 What is PayFi?
PayFi = Payments + Financing
A new financial layer for Web3 that enables:
✅ Payroll advances
✅ Invoice financing
✅ Streaming loans
✅ Gig economy credit
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ On-chain income (payroll, invoices, royalties) is tracked
2️⃣ Income becomes real-time collateral
3️⃣ Borrowers get access to credit
4️⃣ Repayments are automated
⚙️ Under the Hood
Huma is a modular smart contract-based protocol that supports:
🔗 Income verification, scoring & repayment tools
📡 Off-chain data via oracles & partners
🌐 Multi-chain support (ETH, Base, Polygon, Optimism & more)
🔁 Custom repayment plans tailored to real cash flow
🌍 Real-World Impact
Huma’s already making moves with top partners:
🔹 Circle x Huma: USDC loans for small businesses
🔹 Request Finance: Invoice financing for freelancers
🔹 Superfluid: Streaming loans for real-time repayment
🔹 Human Protocol: Credit for gig workers in underserved markets
💠 $HUMA Token Utility
The $HUMA token fuels the ecosystem through:
🛡️ Staking: Secures credit pools
🗳️ Governance: DAO-led decisions
🎁 Rewards: Incentives for builders, borrowers & lenders
Available on Binance, Coinbase, Uniswap, and more.
👥 Team & Backing
Built by ex-leaders from Meta, Stripe, Amazon, Huma is backed by heavyweights:
💼 Circle Ventures
💼 ParaFi Capital
💼 Race Capital
💼 Distributed Global
💼 Slow Ventures
These aren’t just investors—they’re partners driving adoption.
🔎 Why Huma Stands Out
While most RWA projects just tokenize loans, Huma goes deeper—building an open, income-based credit infrastructure that works globally.
It’s not just about putting finance on-chain—it’s about reinventing it.
