The debut of the test version of Carapace, a protocol to link buyers and sellers of protection against default risk for under-collateralized DeFi (decentralised finance) loans, was released along with the announcement that Starlings Lab had raised $2.5M in pre-seed funding from NFX, Titan Capital, and other investors.

The funding will be used primarily to expand the technical staff and introduce the protocol, which calls for in-depth legal research and technological examinations, as reported by The Economic Times.

By rethinking how credit is managed, Carapace, a company founded by Taisuke Mino and Rohit Sabnis, is hastening the world’s shift to decentralised finance.

“The current bear market for crypto has forced participants to be more aware of the return-risk tradeoff on their investments. We help investors understand and mitigate credit risk on their DeFi loans,” said Rohit Sabnis, Cofounder of Carapace, in a statement.

In terms of employment, India will be a primary emphasis for Carapace because the protocol wants to take advantage of the many talented engineers and credit specialists there.

“Cryptoloans are growing at an incredible pace, from a nominal amount to more than $25B last year, and will only continue to explode. With very little protection for lenders of under-collateralized loans, Carapace’s protocol will provide a key piece of infrastructure that DeFi will need to grow,” said Morgan Beller, General Partner at NFX, in a statement.

Bipin Shah, Partner at Titan Capital, said, in a statement, “We invested in Rohit and Tai as they are strong founders who understand the DeFi space well. Titan wishes to support crypto infrastructure projects that solve real problems for users, and we see Carapace become a key building block of DeFi lending”.
