1. From Vision to Reality: The Rise of PayFi

By bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi using stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs), Huma gives businesses instant liquidity—without requiring crypto collateral.
Impact: Over $3.8 billion processed, delivering double-digit yields to liquidity providers.
Backing: Supported by Solana, Circle, and the Stellar Development Foundation.

3. Why It Works
Revenue from Real Activity: Businesses borrow stablecoins, repay in days, and capital is recycled—compounding returns.
No Over-Collateralization: Unlike MakerDAO or Centrifuge, Huma provides unsecured credit based on receivables—simplifying access for SMEs.
Global Utility: Streamlines payments, trade finance, remittances, supply-chain settlements, and merchant payouts—faster and cheaper.

Over $4 billion in cumulative transaction volume.
Raised $38 million in 2024 from Distributed Global, Stellar Foundation, HashKey Capital, and others.
Post-merger with Arf, surpassed $1.8 billion in global transactions.
Expanded across Solana, Stellar’s Soroban, and more—creating a cross-chain PayFi ecosystem.

5. HUMA Tokenomics
Total Supply: 10 billion HUMA.
Initial Circulating Supply: ~17.33% (5% airdrop + allocations for exchange, marketing, liquidity).
Uses: Governance, LP rewards, ecosystem incentives, multipliers via the “Feathers” system.
Revenue Mechanisms: Deflationary token buybacks and burns.
Vesting: Team & investor tokens locked 12 months, then linearly released over 3 years. LP & ecosystem releases decay quarterly (~7%).
