Anvil is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that aims to revolutionize credit by using Ethereum smart contracts to manage collateral and secure credit. Users can lock up ether or USDC in the Anvil vault and receive a letter of credit (LOC) in return, creating a form of money collateralized with cryptocurrency. The protocol is open-source, community-owned, and has no fees for transactions. Partners such as Amdax, Empowermint, and Flexa have expressed interest in building services using the protocol. Anvil was bootstrapped by founder Tyler Spalding and his team and has undergone audits and bug bounty programs to ensure its safety. The goal of Anvil is to bring native payments to the internet and address the inefficiencies and costs associated with traditional payment methods.
