  • Summary: 3Jane is pooled unsecured credit with a house underwriter in the middle. Supplier capital sits in one pool, junior capital eats first loss, and borrower selection plus collections stay operator-shaped. Useful as a credit-control note, not as a neutral money market.
  • What it does:
    • Lets suppliers deposit USDC into the main pool and optionally take junior first-loss exposure through sUSD3
    • Extends open-term variable-rate USDC credit lines to merchants without the usual full-collateral liquidation model
    • Routes idle liquidity into Aave until merchants draw, so pool backing flips between ordinary yield and live unsecured exposure
    • Uses a protocol-run underwriting stack that combines wallet activity, bureau data, bank connectivity, and other verified financial proofs
    • Uses markdown rules, delinquency windows, score slashing, and non-performing-loan auctions for collections rather than treating liquidation as the whole recovery path
  • Key claims:
    • The distinctive thing here is not merely unsecured credit onchain. It is pooled funding plus centralized underwriting and collections.
    • The docs make the capital stack plain: USD3 holders get the main pool exposure while sUSD3 absorbs losses first in exchange for higher upside.
    • Practical authority sits with the 3Jane-operated underwriting algorithm, the data providers feeding Jane Score and external score inputs, and owner-controlled market parameters.
    • This makes 3Jane a different branch from Wildcat’s borrower-authored markets and from Goldfinch’s borrower-and-consensus underwriting stack.
    • Keep the note on credit selection, loss allocation, and recovery workflow. That is the live control surface.
  • Whitepaper: 3Jane publishes an official whitepaper PDF plus protocol docs. The strongest packet for this pass is ../whitepapers/3jane-primary-sources-2026-05-09.md, and the canonical whitepaper PDF is saved as ../whitepapers/3jane-whitepaper.pdf.

Internal linkages

  • Best upward reads: wildcat, goldfinch, and compound.
  • Wildcat is the borrower-authored-market contrast; Goldfinch is the tranche-and-consensus underwriting contrast; Compound is the clean pooled-money-market baseline.

Control surface

  • The leverage sits in underwriting policy, external data feeds, markdown and tranche rules, and the recovery pipeline once borrowers go bad.

  • That is why the note matters. 3Jane is mostly a credit operator wrapped around a pooled onchain balance sheet.
