Frequently asked questions
How does Archblock originate credit and who are its borrowers?
Archblock's TrueFi protocol directly connects institutional asset managers seeking to bring their lending books on-chain with DeFi lenders providing liquidity. The platform underwrites credit for managers, though specific named borrowers and credit funds are not publicly disclosed. The firm claims nearly $2B in loan originations since 2020.
Is Archblock an asset manager or a technology provider?
Archblock operates as both. It describes itself as a blockchain design and development shop, while simultaneously offering a product suite where asset managers can launch and manage lending portfolios. Investors access opportunities through an on-chain marketplace, making the firm's structure a hybrid of software provider and credit intermediary.
How does TrueFi fit into Archblock's product offering?
TrueFi serves as Archblock's core credit protocol. It allows asset managers to tap DeFi for global liquidity and cost efficiency, while institutional investors can subscribe to vetted lending opportunities. The platform is not a traditional fund; it is a technology layer that replaces conventional subscription and capital-call processes with on-chain workflows.
Who leads Archblock, and where is the company legally domiciled?
Archblock does not publicly name its principals or leadership team. Its flagship office is in Road Town, British Virgin Islands, with additional engineering and operational locations in Boston, Palo Alto, Helsinki, Seoul, and others. The BVI domicile is consistent with many blockchain-native firms' regulatory structuring.
Does Archblock raise closed-end funds or operate an open-ended lending platform?
The firm markets a marketplace model rather than a sequence of vintage-dated closed-end funds. Asset managers bring lending books on-chain and investors select specific opportunities, suggesting a deal-by-deal or continuous-subscription structure rather than traditional drawdown funds. Archblock has not published fund-level AUM or specific fund vehicles.
