- 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.
- The distinctive thing here is not merely

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.
