1.1 Welcome

👋 Introduction

Welcome to the official documentation for TrustBridge, a decentralized lending platform designed to provide fair, secure, and transparent credit access across Latin America. Built on the Stellar blockchain and integrated with the Blend protocol, TrustBridge offers a user-first approach to crypto microloans through programmable liquidity pools and reputation-based access.

What is TrustBridge?

TrustBridge is a peer-to-peer (P2P) lending protocol with its own logic layer, created to solve key financial barriers in emerging markets:

• ❌ Lack of access to traditional credit

• ❌ Low trust in centralized lending platforms

• ❌ Complexity of DeFi tools for non-technical users

It operates through smart liquidity pools where lenders deposit funds and borrowers access loans using collateral. A decentralized reputation system based on the TrustBridge Token (TRBT) rewards responsible behavior and unlocks access to more attractive lending terms.

🔑 Key Features

• 🔐 Secure Lending: Automated escrows via Blend and a collective backstop fund to cover defaults.

• 📈 On-Chain Reputation: Earn trust over time with TRBT tokens that grant access to higher-tier lending pools.

• 💬 User-Friendly UX: 100% in Spanish, education-focused, and designed for accessibility—not crypto jargon.

• 🌐 Fully Transparent: All lending activity and metrics are publicly verifiable on the Stellar blockchain.

Who is it for?

• 📥 Borrowers seeking fair, direct access to stablecoin microloans without banks.

• 📤 Lenders interested in earning yield while supporting real-world borrowers in emerging economies.
