About Lince

An improved alternative to traditional savings accounts, built by people who understand how difficult it can be to save and protect yourself from inflation.

Jorge presenting Lince at MERGE Madrid: euro savings are broken

How Lince Got Started

It all started in December 2024, while I was shopping for my engagement ring.

Hands holding an engagement ring — the moment the idea for Lince was born

The conversation with the jewelry store owner ended up turning to Decentralized Finance—how I invested, why, and where. In the end, he asked me to manage part of his capital to see how it worked in practice.

That man is Dani. A Spanish entrepreneur with experience in private banking, he was genuinely curious about why DeFi was so interesting compared to what he already knew, but held back by its complexity and the high barrier to entry.

That conversation crystallized a thesis: there’s a huge market where DeFi would fit perfectly—it just needs someone to make it simple.

What We’ve Built

Our thesis was born from this conversation.

Lince solves a specific problem: millions of European savers with €10,000–100,000 in deposits that yield less than inflation, without easy access to better alternatives due to complexity or perceived risk.

That’s how Lince was born: an alternative savings account to the traditional one, with a target return of 5–7% annually, completely abstracted from the technical complexity behind it.

What sets us apart is how we manage risk.

Our “Smart Risk Engine” continuously monitors positions, collateralization, and the financial health of providers, and has been validated through over a year in production. That engine, combined with rigorous adherence to the regulatory framework, is the advantage we build upon every day.

Our Principles

How we operate, in four key areas.

Real Returns

Estimated daily interest above inflation, paid every day into your account.

100% Liquidity

Your money is always available. Transfers in seconds, with no lock-in periods.

Conservative risk

Trusted providers, overcollateralization, and continuous capital monitoring.

No intermediaries

All the returns generated are yours. No hidden fees or surprise spreads.
