We started Lantern Finance because we've lived through both the promise—and the heartbreak—of crypto.
Like many of you, we believed in the future of this space. We invested early, used the major platforms—BlockFi, Celsius, Genesis—and trusted them with our assets. But when those platforms collapsed, we lost money alongside millions of others. These weren't just business failures. They were breakdowns in trust, transparency, and risk management. Behind the scenes, platforms were misusing collateral, making speculative bets, and chasing hypergrowth at the expense of their users.
That experience left a lasting impression—and gave us a mission.
