The DeFi Collective, or “the Ants” as we like to refer to ourselves, is a nonprofit association. Just as ants work together to build their colonies, the DeFi Collective collaborates globally to support and promote the advancement of decentralized finance (DeFi) technology and projects.
The DeFi Collective is an independent legal entity composed of its members and board of directors. It has no equity and no shareholders. The board is responsible for operations, while members elect and dismiss the board, review financial statements, and pass resolutions. The Articles of Association set out this structure in full.
Vision
A well-functioning financial system has provided the backbone of economies and societies for thousands of years. We envision a future where key financial infrastructure is delivered through secure, reliable, and efficient decentralized financial services protocols. People globally gain access to public financial infrastructure providing inclusive financing and investment opportunities.
Mission
We support the emergence of DeFi protocols as a trusted, decentralized alternative to traditional financial services, contributing on-chain and off-chain resources toward a more secure, transparent, and inclusive financial infrastructure.
Board
The Board of the DeFi Collective comprises individuals with broad knowledge and strong networks in the DeFi ecosystem. The association’s members elect the board each year.
