A year after our first hackathon, Hoops Finance is moving faster than ever…
In just over a year, Hoops Finance has evolved from a scrappy hackathon demo into a powerful DeFi infrastructure layer—backed by major grants, active users, and real-world usage on Stellar mainnet.
We’re building DeFi autopilot for the 99%. And now, we’re proving it works.
