How attnCredit Works (Non-Technical)
attnCredit gives onchain businesses liquidity against routed fees while enforcing repayment through automation and controls.
1. The actors
- Borrower: routes eligible fees and draws from a facility.
- attn operator stack: runs policy, servicing, monitoring, and controls.
- LPs / capital providers: fund credit pools and receive risk-adjusted exposure.
- Partners (issuer/treasury stacks): consume settlement liquidity facilities in the conservative lane.
2. Step one: route revenue into a controlled revenue account
A borrower configures fee routing so eligible revenue flows into a controlled revenue account. In v1 this is typically implemented as a Squads-managed revenue account (timelocked config + spending limits) so servicing routes are verifiable onchain.
Core purpose:
- make repayment collectible,
- make limits measurable,
- make control actions enforceable.
3. Step two: limits are set from observed cashflows
The system computes a dynamic lendable amount using trailing revenue and risk policy.
Inputs include:
- revenue continuity and volatility,
- concentration,
- enforceability horizon,
- reserve requirements.
4. Step three: borrower draws from the facility
Borrowers can draw up to current availability, subject to lane and policy rules.
Two lane contexts:
- Pump lane: tighter caps and faster throttles.
- Settlement lane: conservative profile and institutional reporting expectations.
5. Step four: servicing runs continuously
Once a facility is active:
- routed fees are swept to debt service,
- utilization discipline is checked continuously,
- limits update when risk changes.
6. Step five: utilization discipline is enforced
Borrowers cannot remain permanently maxed out.
If utilization fails policy requirements:
- draw capacity tightens,
- new draws can be frozen,
- sweep intensity can increase.
7. Step six: stress controls activate when needed
If revenue deteriorates or risk spikes:
- throttle mode reduces availability,
- freeze mode stops new draws,
- acceleration/default mode can route all eligible fees to repayment.
8. Step seven: LPs see credit pool exposure and tape
LPs receive exposure through credit pools (and attnUSD where applicable), with reporting on:
- balances and utilization,
- sweep and repayment behavior,
- incidents and corrective actions,
- concentration and performance by lane.
9. What this is not
- Not an unsecured blank-check credit model.
- Not a principal-guaranteed cash-equivalent token.
- Not a single commingled risk pool in early stages.
