About Us
We as an organization are on a mission to improve the overall deficit in the global infrastructure with the help
of Blockchain technology. We as a company have revolutionized the concept of peer-to-peer transaction by using
community driven digital assets in an open source blockchain platform.
The core idea behind our initiative is to make the transactions more secure and transparent among the parties
involved in a cross-border trade. XinFin, as an organization; believes in establishing an environment that will
help businesses to thrive without having to worry about the hassles of the international fund transfer.
ABOUT XINFIN
XINFIN Foundation is a non-profit organization which liaises with different international governments in order to
reduce the existing gap in global infrastructure. According to XinFin, the lack of government sponsored financing
hinders the possibility of many infrastructure projects around the globe.
However, by means of creating a secured blockchain transaction platform, XinFin aims to bridge that gap wherein
the investors can bid for different infrastructure projects and finance them in a smoother way, thereby avoiding
all the issues and paperwork that arises during the process of allocating finance to an infrastructure project
happening in a different country. The idea is to leverage the facilities of blockchain platform to connect the
investors and the developers in a secure environment thereby allowing them to transact finances against certain
secured digital assets.
