In an era defined by financial delay—where salaries, invoices, or remittances are tied up in slow processes—Huma Finance introduces something revolutionary: PayFi, blending payments with decentralized finance to unlock future income, today.

1. What Is PayFi? A New Era of Financial Liquidity

PayFi is Huma’s core innovation: instead of requiring collateral in crypto, Huma users provide proof of upcoming income—such as salaries or remittances. Its TVM (Time-Value-of-Money) engine calculates the present value, allowing users to instantly receive 70–90% of their estimated future income. Once the payment lands, the protocol automatically repays the advance—no collateral, no hassle, no collateral lock-ups 

  • Use cases span employees, freelancers, small businesses, families awaiting remittances, and platforms with locked-out funds 

  • Unlike traditional DeFi lending, which demands crypto assets as collateral, Huma unlocks liquidity based on your future earnings—an entirely different and more inclusive model 

2. Building PayFi: Technology & Protocol Stack

Huma’s infrastructure combines both on-chain and off-chain systems for optimized performance and security:

  • Smart Contracts: Handle lending flows—disbursement, repayment, and automation.

  • Off-Chain Verification: Ensures KYC compliance and authenticates income or payment streams.

  • Audited Security: Rigorous audits have been conducted by Halborn, Spearbit, and Certora across Huma 2.0 (Solana) and Huma Institutional (EVM, Stellar) 

  • Transparent Metrics: Token supply data and allocations are publicly accessible, with governance tools to be launched post-TGE 

3. HUMA Token: Governance, Utility & Growth

The HUMA token fuels the PayFi ecosystem with several critical utilities:

  • Governance: Stake tokens to influence protocol decisions. Voting power scales with staking duration 

  • Incentives: LPs, community validators, and ecosystem contributors earn $HUMA based on their participation.


  • Utility Layers: Future features like real-time redemption will rely on $HUMA
