The Vision

Credit for the
Reputation Economy

Web3 infrastructure for uncollateralized credit—powered by verified revenue and community trust.

The Problem

Rejected by Banks.
Too Small for Fintechs.

Millions of entrepreneurs run real businesses with verifiable revenue. They have transaction history and proven cashflow. To grow, they need working capital—but the system fails them.

Banks require 680+ credit

2+ years history, collateral, and weeks of paperwork.

Platform MCAs need $10K+/month

Wayflyer and Shopify Capital exclude smaller sellers.

DeFi demands 150% collateral

Defeats the purpose of credit for real-world growth.

The Solution

Trust Based on Truth.

The equation is simple: Verified Revenue + Social Trust = Universal Access.
We replace backward-looking credit scores with real-time sales data, unlocking capital for the millions of high-potential businesses that legacy finance excludes.

Your Sales Are Your Credit Score

Stop relying on credit bureaus. Connect Shopify, Stripe, or Square instantly. We use your verifiable transaction history to prove you can repay.

Your Community is Your Collateral

Get funded by the people who know you best. When your reputation is on the line within your own community, social accountability creates a powerful incentive to repay.

The Opportunity

The Underserved Majority

We serve the gap between micro-finance and institutional capital.

Roadmap

In Testing

Revenue-Verified Lending

0% interest community loans ($100-$5K) to prove the model. Connect Shopify, Stripe, or Square to verify revenue, track repayments on-chain, and share with your network.

  • Shopify, Stripe & Square
  • Trust Score V1
  • Base L2 Payments
Exploring

Scale with Returns

Once we can model repayment risk using business metrics combined with social data, we can introduce fair interest rates (8-12% APY) that reward lenders while keeping costs 50% lower than MCAs.

Future

Automated Repayment

AI agents that monitor revenue and automatically route payments to repay loans. "Loans that pay themselves" via autonomous agents, streaming payments, and merchant stablecoin adoption.

The Growth Engine

Distribution & Growth

The viral mechanics of crowdlending networks are well-documented in academia and battle-tested in industry. The capital exists; the challenge is activating it through trusted social networks.

The Viral Loop

1

Borrower Shares

To get funded, borrowers share their loan with their own social graph (Facebook, WhatsApp). Distribution is user-generated.

2

Friends Fund

Social proximity increases funding success and lowers default rates. Communities bet on their own.

3

Network Grows

Backers see the product work and convert into borrowers or invite other merchants. The network scales organically.

The Timing

Why Now

Stablecoins

$0.01 transactions on Base L2 finally make micro-loans viable globally.

Platform APIs

Real-time data from Shopify & Stripe allows for instant, verified underwriting.

Open Identity

Farcaster provides a portable, verifiable social graph for reputation.
