Web3/defi Research Intern

**About Us**:
HELIX is the first RWA DeFi protocol leveraging Big-data & AI to connect on-chain investors to sustainable and uncorrelated yields from real-world private credit.

Winner of the Tokenized Debt & Bond Award at the 2023 TADS Awards, HELIX was born out of Helicap, a leading ASEAN private debt and credit analytics platform known for its impressive track record of more than US$300 million in deal volume with zero defaults. HELIX distinguishes itself through its strong Web2 institutional backing, proprietary Big Data credit analytics, a robust deal origination pipeline, planned decentralized credit scoring and a secondary loan marketplace, variable interest products, and solid investor support.

At HELIX, we are revolutionizing the way investors access private credit opportunities by connecting them to real-world assets through our innovative protocol. Our proprietary Credit Risk Analytics technology enables us to analyze and extract invaluable insights from millions of loan data points, ensuring that our investors have access to stable yields that are uncorrelated to the broader crypto market volatility.
