Blockchain investment firm 6KStarter commented: "When we invest in DeFi protocols, we look for strong teams that are relentless experts in their craft. We invested in Defactor as their team is highly experienced in the worlds of logistics and finance, with prior history in building a Forbes FinTech 50 nominated company in asset origination.

The Defactor platform brings a unique solution to the table, removing factors that make logistics inefficient. This team is delivering a multi-trillion dollar market of trade, to DeFi. We at 6KStarter are committed to Defactor, just as Defactor is committed to bridging the gap between DeFi and real-world assets (RWAs).

Defactor is a true cross-industry disruptor to look out for in 2021 and the years to come".

Defactor plans to launch its FACTR token at the start of Q3 2021, and plans to release its MVP towards the end of the year. Defactor have already onboarded several leading asset originators who will be the future users of the platform, and earlier this week announced ConsolFreight - the leading real world asset originator for trade finance - as their strategic partner and earliest adopter.
