HERO is developing a blockchain-based lending marketplace that will connect borrowers and lenders. The network will be powered by the Ethereum based HERO token. The project was originally focused on using blockchain to promote financial inclusion in Southeast Asia.

Ripio Credit Network is a blockchain protocol for the lending industry. RCN connects lenders and borrowers anywhere in the world, and facilitates loans in any currency. RCN's goal is to lower fees and costs with a decentralized tokenized lending process, but maintaining an intermediary agent in order to manage the credit risks involved in lending and to handle certain aspects of debt collection. The network is powered by the RCN token.
