About Creditcoin (CTC/USD)
Creditcoin was developed by Gluwa, a fintech company focused on financial access in Sub-Saharan Africa and other frontier markets where large populations lack formal credit history. The Creditcoin blockchain records loan originations, repayment terms, and repayment outcomes as immutable on-chain transactions, creating a portable credit history that borrowers can carry across lenders and borders without relying on centralized credit bureaus. Lenders using Creditcoin's system can assess creditworthiness based on actual repayment history rather than proxy indicators. The network uses a Nominated Proof of Stake consensus based on Substrate, the framework developed by Parity Technologies. CTC is used for staking, network fees, and rewarding participants in the credit network. CTC/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no CTC tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.

FAQ
How does on-chain credit history differ from traditional credit scoring?
Traditional credit scores like FICO are calculated by centralized credit bureaus using data from banks and lenders in a single country, making them inaccessible to people who have never used formal financial services or who move between countries. Creditcoin's on-chain approach records each loan transaction directly to a public blockchain, creating a verifiable, portable history that any participating lender can read regardless of geography. Borrowers who repay loans reliably build a provable track record that travels with their wallet address rather than being locked in a national credit bureau.
What markets does Creditcoin primarily target and why?
Creditcoin focuses on frontier markets where traditional credit infrastructure is underdeveloped, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. Countries like Nigeria and Kenya have large populations with mobile phone access and active mobile money ecosystems but without formal credit histories that would qualify them for bank loans. Mobile-first lending apps in these markets face high default risk partly because they cannot verify borrower history. Creditcoin provides the shared infrastructure for lenders in these markets to contribute to and read from a common credit history layer.
What is Substrate and why did Creditcoin choose it as a foundation?
Substrate is a blockchain development framework built by Parity Technologies, the company behind the Polkadot ecosystem. It provides pre-built modules for consensus, networking, storage, and governance, allowing blockchain projects to focus on their specific application logic rather than rebuilding infrastructure from scratch. Creditcoin used Substrate to build a purpose-specific blockchain with Nominated Proof of Stake consensus and custom modules for recording cross-chain lending transactions, while benefiting from Parity's ongoing security research and tooling maintenance.
If I trade CTC/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any CTC tokens?
No. CTC/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade CTC's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To stake on Creditcoin, participate in the credit network as a lender or borrower, or pay network transaction fees, you would need actual CTC tokens in a compatible wallet.
