Instead, they require stake an amount of GFI equal to double the cost of an Auditor approval, which is a fixed rate set by the protocol.

According to its whitepaper, Goldfinch's lending model relies on four core participants: Borrowers, Backers, Liquidity Providers and Auditors.
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
1. Backers may form off-chain legal agreements with Borrowers (but while not explicitly supported by the protocol). Backers may require such an agreement to be in effect, either with them directly or with another Backer, in order to be willing to supply capital. In these cases, the legal agreement and potential recourse are another important incentive for Borrowers.
2. Borrower need to publicize their address when proposing pools to Backers, their on chain history becomes public to future creditors (even those off-chain).
