💳Decentralized Credit for Individuals
FlowFi extends credit infrastructure beyond enterprises by enabling individuals, particularly those from underbanked populations, such as freelancers, gig workers, and global remote contributors, to access financing based on their future income streams, rather than traditional collateral.
This approach redefines on-chain creditworthiness through smart contracts and data-driven underwriting, removing the need for intermediaries or identity-dependent credit scoring systems.
Functional Scope
Payroll-Backed Microloans: Advance funding to salaried users based on verified on-chain income records
Remittance-Based Credit: Unlock credit against recurring incoming cross-border transfers
DAO & Creator Economy Credit: Issue working capital to Web3 contributors based on protocol payments, token vesting, or NFT royalties
DePIN Worker Financing: Support decentralized infrastructure operators with upfront tool or equipment financing tied to future usage-based earnings
Protocol Workflow
Income Verification: The user authorizes FlowFi to analyze their historical on-chain earnings, wallet inflows, and employer/contract references
Risk Evaluation: A credit score is generated in real time using repayment reliability, income frequency, and volatility indicators
Loan Offer & Terms: FlowFi protocol generates a personalized credit line offer with duration, APR, and repayment schedule
Smart Contract Disbursement: Upon user acceptance, funds are disbursed directly to the wallet with a binding repayment logic embedded
Repayment Automation: Smart contracts enforce repayment schedules based on real-time inflows, enabling auditability and compliance guarantees.
Key Properties
Collateral-Free, Yet Trust-Minimized: Eligibility is assessed via on-chain income proofs and smart contract-enforced repayment logic
Credit Access Without KYC: Operates without reliance on jurisdictional identity, enabling access for unbanked individuals
On-Chain Reputation Model: Borrowers build a visible, transferable credit history tied to wallet address and behavior
Platform-Agnostic: Credit rails can be embedded into Web3 payroll systems, NFT platforms, DePIN protocols, and DAO treasuries
