For Apps, DAOs & Builders

This page is for teams that run:

a protocol or dApp
a DAO with real revenues
or any onchain business that collects recurring income

What you get from attn

For apps and DAOs, attn provides three core pieces:

A revenue account for your app or DAO (with optional yield on idle balances).
Revenue advances – trade a slice of future income for cash now.
Revenue-backed credit lines – ongoing borrowing capacity that repays from revenues.

No offchain underwriting is required:

no bank linking
no credit scores
no real-world asset proofs

Everything is based on onchain revenue performance and rules enforced on Solana.

You can use these to fund:

liquidity
development
marketing and growth
acquisitions
or anything else your DAO votes for

1. Revenue account

You point protocol revenues to a revenue account controlled by:

your DAO or multisig
and attn (dual control on configuration),

with clear rules:

When no loan is open:
- you can move funds freely.
When a loan is open:
- a fixed share of incoming revenues goes first to repayment.

On top of that, the account can:

allocate unencumbered balances into simple onchain yield sources (e.g. staked SOL or yield-bearing stablecoins),
keep cash available for operations and for use as collateral, while avoiding idle capital.

This turns your revenue stream into a clean, predictable asset that credit can be built on, and reduces the cost of letting balances sit in the account.

2. Revenue advances

If your app produces steady revenues but you do not want to do a token sale, you can request:

a one-off advance against a defined slice of future revenues.

You choose:

how large a slice (e.g. 20–40%),
how long (e.g. 3, 6, 12 weeks).

attn or outside capital pays you upfront and collects that slice of income until the position is settled.

Example – DAO funds a new product line

Your DEX earns roughly $80k/month in net revenues.
The DAO wants $200k to fund a new product and listings.

You propose:

selling 30% of the next 9 weeks of net revenues.

Rough expectation:

9 × $80k = $720k total.
30% slice = $216k.

attn offers:

$200k upfront in exchange for that slice,
and collects 30% of net revenues until $216k has been routed to repayment.

DAO decision:

trade 30% of 9 weeks of revenue for $200k now,
without issuing additional governance tokens.

Meanwhile, any net revenues beyond the pledged slice can continue to earn base yield in the revenue account.

3. Revenue-backed credit lines

For ongoing needs, you can apply for a credit line:

sized according to:
- your revenue track record
- volatility
- diversification.

You receive:

a maximum limit in USD terms
an agreed repayment share of revenues
the ability to draw and repay flexibly within those parameters

It behaves like a revolving facility in corporate banking, except that:

Terms are enforced by how revenues are routed through your revenue account.

For larger tickets or earlier-stage projects, this line can combine:

revenue commitments once live,
plus vesting token collateral.

When the line is unused and revenues are not pledged, they can still be deployed into simple onchain yield strategies via the revenue account.

What changes for users and token holders?

From your users’ perspective:

Nothing about trading or interacting with your protocol has to change.
The main change is where fee revenue lands and how it is managed.

You should communicate to your community that you are:

treating revenues as a formal financial asset,
avoiding unnecessary token sales,
financing growth with income first,
and, where appropriate, earning base yield on idle revenues instead of leaving them unproductive.
