FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions.
Answers to common questions about Foundry, its markets and how funding works.
- What is Foundry?
- Foundry is a funding layer for tokenized real-world assets. It lets holders access fixed-term, collateralized liquidity against eligible tokenized assets without selling them.
- How is this different from regular DeFi lending?
- Traditional DeFi lending is typically open-ended with variable, pool-driven rates. Foundry markets define funding terms and maturities up front, with transparent collateral parameters — closer to institutional repo than to a lending pool.
- Which assets can be used as collateral?
- Foundry is built around tokenized treasuries, private credit, real estate and commodities. Each market defines its own eligible collateral, haircut, term and risk requirements.
- Where does the market data on the site come from?
- The live prices shown are reference quotes from public market data providers, used to illustrate the asset classes Foundry markets are built around. They are not quotes for on-chain positions.
- Is the app live?
- Not yet. Funding markets are being prepared for launch. The homepage reflects the intended structure of the protocol.
- What is FRDY?
- FRDY is the token designed to coordinate participants across the Foundry ecosystem. Token mechanics, governance and incentives will be defined in the official tokenomics documentation.
- Which chain does Foundry run on?
- Foundry is built on BNB Chain, combining tokenized assets with fast, low-cost, programmable settlement.
