Bridgecoin enables self-funding: How it works

Put your asset in your own blockchain vault

You still own your asset, you still receive any benefit from its appreciation. The asset is locked, and you can’t transfer the asset’s ownership, until you unlock it, by paying back the loan

Borrow what you want, up to the cap

The cap limit you can borrow to is based on the type of asset.

Use the liquidity you borrow for anything

It’s yours, you own the asset, you own the value, use it any way you want

Setting up the UOU borrowing line

● UOU = “You owe You”

● Sweetbridge “oracle” determines asset value & risk○ USD in Phase 1○ Collateralization amount○ Periodic re-evaluation○ Based on asset-type

● Collateral-to-Liquidity Ratio set by asset type

Treasury Protocol

Using Bridgecoin to borrow from your UOU Line

● Treasury protocol (smart contract) funds Bridgecoin to borrower

■ Initial Treasury funding from TGE

■ Fiat exchangeable on token exchanges

■ Bridgecoin can be used to purchase other crypto-currencies

● New Bridgecoin supply is minted when new assets are collateralized

● Bridgecoin destroyed when UOU paid off

● Bridgecoin minted or destroyed to maintain peg to USD

What are the opportunities for

Working Capital improvement ?

There are 3.5 trillion euros ($3.9T) tied up in net working capital in supply chains at any given time. Liquidity solutions are expensive, tie up borrowing capacity and are unavailable to companies that need it most. Working capital optimization is both a significant opportunity and critical need.
