About Galoy
At Galoy, we build Bitcoin-native core banking software for regulated financial institutions.

We maintain several open source components that power key parts of the platform, while other modules remain proprietary. Our flagship product is Lana, a Bitcoin-backed lending platform designed specifically for institutional clients.
