3. Platform Description

CoalesceFi is an undercollateralized lending platform built on the Solana blockchain. The Platform connects institutional and business borrowers with permissionless lenders (liquidity providers, or "LPs"). Key platform functions include:

• LPs deposit capital into lending vaults to earn yield
• Borrowers (businesses) undergo Know Your Business (KYB) verification and privacy-preserving credit assessment via zkTLS before accessing undercollateralized loans
• Smart contracts manage vault operations, loan disbursement, and repayment
• LP wallet addresses are screened against sanctions lists; no KYC is required for LPs

3.1 Smart Contract Operations

Lending operations are executed through audited smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. These contracts operate autonomously according to their programmed logic. CoalesceFi provides the interface to interact with these contracts but does not have custody of user funds.

7. KYC/KYB/AML Compliance

CoalesceFi maintains a comprehensive compliance program tailored to the platform's undercollateralized lending model. Verification requirements differ by user role:

7.1 Borrower Verification

All borrowers must complete Know Your Business (KYB) verification before accessing loans. This includes providing business registration documents, ownership information, and undergoing a privacy-preserving credit assessment via zkTLS. Borrowers who fail verification will not be granted loan access. Where a decision may materially affect access, final adverse eligibility determinations include human review.

CoalesceFi reserves the right to:

• Require additional identity verification at any time

We monitor transactions for potential violations of our policies and applicable laws. This includes:
