what's Creditcoin?

Creditcoin is a blockchain protocol designed to facilitate decentralized credit and lending, particularly targeting underserved markets in emerging economies. It enables the creation of verifiable credit histories on-chain, allowing individuals and businesses without traditional banking access to participate in global financial systems. The network uses a dual-token model, with CTC serving as the native utility token for governance, staking, and transaction fees. At its core, Creditcoin operates as a layer-1 blockchain compatible with Substrate, integrating with parachains on Polkadot for scalability. It supports credit data oracles and applications that bridge real-world credit information to the blockchain, promoting financial inclusion through transparent and tamper-proof records. Developers can build decentralized finance (DeFi) applications focused on credit scoring, peer-to-peer lending, and cross-border payments. The protocol emphasizes privacy and compliance, incorporating zero-knowledge proofs to protect user data while ensuring regulatory adherence. Creditcoin's ecosystem includes tools for credit bureaus and fintechs to tokenize and share credit data securely, fostering a global network of trustless financial interactions.

Creditcoin ranks 9th among RWA projects by dev activity, rising in Santiment's github ranking.
