MoHash is a technology company.
MoHash operates as a decentralized finance protocol designed to integrate real-world assets into the blockchain ecosystem, providing sustainable and stable yields. The company’s core offering connects global capital and liquidity with alternative assets found in fast-growing economies, which are typically insulated from the volatility of cryptocurrency markets. By building upon global standards like ERC20, MoHash facilitates access to regulated, high-yield opportunities, expanding the utility of decentralized finance infrastructure beyond traditional crypto-native assets.
Arun Devarajan founded MoHash around mid-2021, driven by the insight that the decentralized finance space required more secure and stable yield sources, particularly after issues with high-risk crypto assets. Devarajan, drawing on his prior experience at India Stack where he contributed to infrastructure protocols like UPI, envisioned a system capable of establishing global standards for lending. The team further comprises experienced professionals from notable technology and finance institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and Oliver Wyman.
The protocol primarily targets institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, accommodating significant check sizes. MoHash envisions bridging micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise funding gaps globally, beginning with initiatives in India. The company's long-term objective is to broaden the scope of what blockchain infrastructure can achieve by seamlessly integrating real-world, high-yield assets, thereby fostering a more robust and expansive decentralized financial landscape.

MoHash is a fintech startup founded in 2021 that builds a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol aimed at providing global liquidity to private debt markets, particularly targeting fast-growing economies. It issues a fungible token (MoH Token) representing claims on a diversified, risk-managed, and regulated pool of debt instruments. This platform serves investors seeking stable, high-yield, and uncorrelated returns on-chain, while enabling access to capital for nonbank lending and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in emerging markets. MoHash’s solution addresses the problem of limited access to global capital for private lending in developing economies, offering a bridge between real-world assets and DeFi users worldwide. The company has demonstrated growth momentum by raising $6 million in seed funding from prominent investors including Sequoia Capital India and Coinbase Ventures[1][2][5].
MoHash was founded in 2021 in Bengaluru, India, by Arun Devarajan and a team with extensive experience in finance and technology, including backgrounds at Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and India Stack. The idea emerged from the founders’ recognition of the need to provide safer, regulated, and stable yield opportunities within the crypto ecosystem by leveraging real-world debt assets. Arun Devarajan previously contributed to India Stack, a major fintech infrastructure project in India, and envisioned MoHash as a global standard atop blockchain (ERC20) to enable seamless access to capital and liquidity across borders. Early traction included assembling a strong founding team and securing $6 million in seed funding led by top-tier venture firms and crypto investors, validating the market need and the company’s approach[1][3][5].
MoHash rides the growing trend of integrating real-world assets with decentralized finance, addressing the volatility and speculative nature of traditional crypto markets by offering regulated, stable-yield alternatives. The timing is crucial as emerging markets seek innovative financing solutions to accelerate economic growth, particularly for MSMEs underserved by traditional banks. Market forces such as increasing adoption of blockchain technology, demand for diversified crypto investment products, and the rise of DeFi protocols create a favorable environment for MoHash’s model. By bridging global capital with private debt in developing economies, MoHash influences the broader ecosystem by expanding DeFi’s applicability beyond purely digital assets to tangible economic impact[1][3][5].
Looking ahead, MoHash is positioned to deepen its impact by scaling its protocol to include more asset classes and geographies, potentially becoming a key infrastructure player in global private debt markets on blockchain. Trends such as increasing regulatory clarity around DeFi, growing institutional interest in alternative assets, and the digital transformation of emerging economies will shape its journey. MoHash’s influence may evolve from a niche DeFi startup to a foundational platform enabling sustainable economic growth through decentralized access to capital. Its success could redefine how global liquidity flows into underserved markets, fulfilling its vision of being the "rocket fuel" for fast-growing economies[1][5].
