Kasu
Kasu is a lending protocol that routes DeFi deposits into curated real-world private credit strategies sourced from institutional originators.

What is Kasu?
Kasu is a real-world asset lending protocol on Base that connects DeFi capital with vetted off-chain credit originators. Users deposit USDC into lending strategies — like professional fee funding or tax-pay loans for accounting firms — and earn yield as borrowers repay. Per-borrower transparency lets smaller depositors see which businesses their funds are deployed to and opt out before disbursement.
