With integrations across multiple protocols, Factor is a user-friendly and secure gateway to the rest of DeFi.

Whether you're a protocol, treasury, builder, or individual strategist, Factor streamlines your path to financial autonomy, ensuring a seamless journey for all.

Factor is governed by the FactorDAO, a community-owned platform that empowers FCTR token holders to participate in the governance of the protocol. By aligning protocol growth with long-term individual incentives, the FactorDAO places FCTR holders at the center of Factor’s future. FactorDAO consensus guides the direction of the Factor team which operates a fully remote ream with ~25 builders spread around the globe.
