Pareto was formerly known as Idle Finance, a DeFi yield aggregator originally founded in 2019 by Matteo Pandolfi and William Bergamo that algorithmically optimized deposits across lending protocols, with governance via Idle DAO from November 2020. In December 2024, Idle DAO proposed rebranding to Pareto and pivoting focus from yield aggregation to onchain institutional credit markets, with idle.finance now redirecting to pareto.credit. The rebranding planned a 1:1 conversion of $IDLE to a new $PAR token with 18.2 million total supply; the $IDLE snapshot was taken in January 2025 and the $PAR token generation event was postponed in March 2025 pending market conditions.
Pareto launched USP, a synthetic dollar protocol backed by institutional-grade private credit via Credit Vaults, alongside sUSP as an interest-bearing staking token. Pareto is affiliated with Idle DAO LLC, Fasanara Digital, and M11 Credit as part of its credit infrastructure. Idle Finance previously raised a $1.2M seed round led by gumi Cryptos Capital, and Pareto raised a $2.4M strategic round in July 2024 with RockawayX as investor. Additional backers include LongHash Ventures, Greenfield Capital, and Quantstamp, while Consensys was a former backer.
