Following a $7.5 million raise led by Hashed and Tribe Capital, Blueprint Finance, emerging from stealth, today announces Concrete Protocol, an on-chain credit market that protects borrowers from liquidation, while offering yield to liquidity providers to fund short-term capital demands. “The goal of 2024 is to make it irresponsible for any [crypto borrower] to do it any other way than through our protocol,” cofounder and CEO Nic Roberts-Huntley told Fortune. Blueprint Finance is betting that DeFi is approaching a major inflection point—and lending activity will massively increase—and is seeking to work with retail users, companies, and liquidity providers alike.
