The global financial system moves approximately $125 trillion per year. The overwhelming majority of that movement is handled by a small number of centralized intermediaries that charge significant fees, impose settlement delays measured in business days, restrict access to buyers and merchants who do not fit their geographic or financial profile, and expose both parties to chargeback risk and fraud.

The result is a global economy where over 1.4 billion adults remain outside formal banking infrastructure, where international merchants are routinely excluded from payment processors for operating in the wrong country, and where founders launching token projects are constrained to a fraction of their available buyer market because the infrastructure was not designed for their use case.

Friddy was built to replace that infrastructure. Not with a product. With a protocol.
