NORTH-STAR OUTCOME
A verified customer secures a loan, receives spendable funds, makes payments and reclaims their collateral—with every movement of money reconciled.
THE PATH TO GET THERE
Five stages. Clear exit milestones.
Sequence first. Expand when the foundations work.
✓
STAGE 01 · PROVE THE JOURNEY
Make Bitcoin borrowing tangible.
DEMO AVAILABLE
Show the full customer experience before taking custody or lending real money.
Real Google sign-in and read-only wallet connections
Simulated loan quotes, dollar funding and payments
Full payoff, collateral release and demo card spending
EXIT MILESTONEOne complete borrowing journey.
Connect → borrow → receive funds → spend → repay → close the loan.
Demonstrated with fictional funds.
02
STAGE 02 · STABLECOIN SETTLEMENTS
Build the money movement rail.
NEXT TO BUILD
Use USDC as the initial settlement asset, with an account ledger that explains where every dollar went.
Testnet USDC deposits, transfers and withdrawals
Double-entry ledger, transaction receipts and reconciliation
Confirmation tracking, safe retries and duplicate prevention
Select fiat conversion and payout partners
EXIT MILESTONEFirst reconciled USDC settlement.
A transfer completes, produces a verifiable receipt and updates both account balances exactly once.
Unlocks: a reliable foundation for loan funding.
03
STAGE 03 · DIGITAL ASSET BACKED LENDING
Run a controlled Bitcoin lending pilot.
PLANNED
Turn the demonstrated journey into a secured, funded loan with a lending partner.
Coinbase account integration and BTC / cbBTC collateral pathway
Identity, income and borrower eligibility checks
Custody arrangements, loan terms and lending capital
Reliable collateral pricing, monitoring and liquidation execution
EXIT MILESTONEFirst funded loan, repaid and closed.
Collateral is secured, funds are issued, repayments reconcile and the collateral is released at payoff.
Gate: lending, custody and risk readiness for a limited pilot.
04
STAGE 04 · EVERYDAY SPENDING
Make the loan useful in everyday life.
PLANNED
Bring loan proceeds into the places customers already pay, without losing visibility of the loan.
Fiat payouts and bank transfer integrations
Virtual card issuance through an issuing partner
Spending limits, card freeze and transaction notifications
Repayment reminders, customer support and account servicing
EXIT MILESTONEFirst real purchase from loan proceeds.
A pilot customer spends through a connected payment rail, sees the settled transaction and completes a repayment.
Gate: issuer and payout partners, reconciled settlement.
05
STAGE 05 · PHYSICAL WORLD BACKED LENDING
Extend credit beyond digital assets.
DISCOVERY
Start with one concrete collateral category: business equipment. Validate the model before expanding to other assets.
Validate borrower demand with a specialist lending partner
Verify equipment ownership, condition and independent value
Establish collateral arrangements, monitoring and recovery processes
Adapt funding, repayment and servicing to the asset lifecycle
EXIT MILESTONEOne equipment-backed pilot loan.
One asset category, one specialist partner and one verified loan journey—from valuation to repayment.
Gate: asset-specific underwriting and collateral enforceability.
HOW WE KNOW IT WORKS
Trust is built into the milestones.
Money reconciles.No unexplained difference between the account ledger and settlement records.
Collateral has a clear lifecycle.Documented lock, monitoring, repayment and release—or recovery.
Customers stay in control.Clear balances, visible costs, understandable payments and account controls.
PLANNING BASIS
This is a proposed, milestone-led roadmap, not a commitment to launch dates. Google sign-in and persistent account data are live. The current Bitcoin wallet uses a sample collateral allocation. Dollars, loans, cards and withdrawals remain simulated. Funded lending and real payments depend on partners, security work and applicable approvals.
