The primary mission is to democratize finance.
By sucking the life out of banks who have sucked the life out of hard-working and struggling people and families since day dot.
TheStandard has been built to enable anyone to borrow without interest or trusting an authority. By enabling borrowers to trade locked collateral, we start to generate a yield from which participants in a yield account profit.
Why TheStandard.io
TheStandard was the brainchild of Joshua Scigala but had many people contribute over the last 4 years in development.
"We shouldn't need to rely on centralized entities such as FTX, Celsius, or BlockFi, which, despite being regulated, engaged in speculation with user collateral under the guise of offering debt services and ultimately declared bankruptcy. This underscores the importance of building a standard that simply doesn't need or have access to user funds.
MATH is the ultimate regulator. 2+2 will always equal 4! Smart contracts for the win."

User Flow
The values that drive everything we do
Open source
Free and Open source is the only way to ensure total security. Anybody can test the code that the DAO has created
Decentralized
When Satoshi created Bitcoin, he didn't think, "Oh, let's create centralized stablecoins, where $1 in some fractionally reserved bank is equal to one token." He thought, "Let's decentralize money." We just make it stable.
Community-driven
The concept of a DAO is one of the most underrated aspects of crypto. The fact that a community of like-minded people can be invested in the success of a protocol by voting on its direction is stunning.
Transparency
All smart contracts can be read, audited, and even cloned. But we don't stop there, our front end and everything else is free and open source.
Innovation
TheStandard is innovating ideas like dynamic NFTs. Each Smart Vault is represented by an NFT that updates data from the blockchain about how much debt and collateral that vault has. Anyone can sell their debt and collateral as an NFT and the buyer gets to pay off the debt and remove the collateral.
