We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter in our product journey — cSigma Edge, a permissionless RWA (Real-World Asset) protocol designed for community lenders around the globe. Since 2023, cSigma Institutional has laid the foundation for institutional-grade decentralized finance (DeFi) lending, providing growing enterprises with access to private credit. Today, we take a bold step forward with Edge, a platform that opens the door for individual lenders to participate in the same opportunities previously reserved for institutions.

With the global demand for DeFi credit solutions on the rise, cSigma Edge enables community lenders to provide stablecoin liquidity (USDC and USDT) to real-world companies making a tangible impact. Edge will be available in most countries, except for the United States and United Kingdom, allowing lenders to lend to enterprise borrowers across established financial markets such as Europe, North America, and Hong Kong. Edge will be launched on October 14th on Ethereum.

What is cSigma Edge?

cSigma Edge is a stablecoin lending platform designed to empower individual lenders. Users can lend into Edge pools which create a portfolio of borrowers diversifying risk. These pools lend capital to multiple borrowing enterprises in cSigma Institutional, which continuously assesses credit quality and monitors collateral until the loan is repaid. Borrowers receive short-term loans (3 to 12 months) backed by liquid financial assets, such as accounts receivable and contracted revenue, alongside additional credit protections like credit insurance.

Key Differences of cSigma Institutional vs. Edge

cSigma Institutional provides institutional investors with tokenized private credit investment opportunities. This version features advanced AI-driven credit analysis, pricing, and risk management, and ensures that institutional lenders adhere to stringent KYC and AML requirements. Institutional lenders also benefit from access to extensive borrower data, loan agreements, and real-time risk information on borrowers.

In contrast, cSigma Edge is built on the same institutional foundation while offering access to individual community lenders. Edge operates through automated Master Pool Managers, who manage the capital deposited by community lenders. These managers construct diversified borrower portfolios, and ensure enough cash reserve to support withdrawals.

Key Features of cSigma Edge: Empowering Community Lenders Worldwide
