SOFR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.  


A formal or informal association of financial or other institutions that facilitates the exchange of items drawn on participants.
This is a broad treasuries repo financing rate, recommended as a benchmark by the Alternative Reverence Rates Committee (ARRC) of the Federal Reserve.


This exists via a central location or central processing mechanism through which financial institutions agree to exchange payment instructions or other financial obligations (for example securities).  
It is published by the New York Fed at approximately 8am local time.  


The institutions settle for items exchanged at a designated time based on the rules and procedures of the clearing house.


3 April 2018 was the first time SOFR was published. It is calculated based on actual transactions and is a volume-weighted median.


In some cases, the clearing house may assume significant counterparty, financial or risk management responsibilities for the clearing system.
In the first three months of the publication of SOFR the underlying overnight lending transaction volume was on average approximately USD 800 billion.
