Revenue-Backed Capital Formation

Tide enables projects to raise capital after product-market fit without selling tokens, issuing equity, or introducing discretionary fund control.

Why Tide?

A better way to fund projects and earn rewards

Core Concepts

The building blocks of Tide Protocol

Backers

Contribute SUI, receive a transferable SupporterPass NFT, and claim rewards from real protocol revenue.

Issuers

Receive capital on a fixed schedule and route a percentage of protocol revenue to backers.

SupporterPass

Your economic position as an NFT. Transferable, tradeable, and usable as loan collateral.

Treasury

Protocol fee collection (1% raise fee, 20% of staking rewards) with transparent, on-chain accounting.

How Capital Flows

A transparent, deterministic system

Capital In

Backers deposit SUI, receive SupporterPass NFT

Deterministic Release

Capital released to issuer on fixed schedule

Rewards Flow

Revenue + staking yields → backers claim anytime

Reward Sources

Earn from real protocol activity

Protocol Revenue

A fixed percentage of real protocol fees is routed on-chain to backers. For FAITH, this is 10% of all protocol fees.

Example: If FAITH generates $1M in annual fees, $100K flows to backers.

Staking Yield

While capital is locked, it earns native Sui staking rewards. 80% goes to backers, 20% to treasury.

Your capital works for you even before it's released to the issuer.

Revenue Router

Enforceable on-chain revenue sharing

Adapter Pattern

Protocols integrate via thin adapter contracts. Each protocol has its own router that holds the routing authorization.

Non-Bypassable

Revenue routing is enforced at the smart contract level. No upgrades or admin actions can bypass the routing.

Automatic Harvesting

Keepers periodically harvest staking rewards. 80% goes to backers, 20% to treasury. Fully automated.

How FAITH Routes Revenue

When FAITH collects gameplay fees, the FaithRouter adapter calculates 10% and deposits it directly to the Tide RewardVault. This happens atomically in the same transaction — no delay, no manual steps, no trust required. The adapter tracks lifetime revenue for full transparency.

A yield-aware marketplace

Why Tide Marketplace?

Unlike generic NFT marketplaces, Tide understands SupporterPass economics. Buyers can see exactly what they're getting:

  • Share percentage of the listing
  • Pending claimable rewards
  • Historical earnings (total_claimed)
  • Original backer provenance
  • Pass number (collectibility)

Liquidation Threshold

How It Works

Conservative LTV: Borrow up to 50% of your pass value. Large buffer protects against liquidation.

Keeper Model: Anyone can trigger reward harvesting. Keepers earn 0.1% tip. Fully permissionless.

Insurance Fund: 20% of loan fees go to insurance. Covers edge cases and black swan events.

Example: Self-Paying Loan

Alice deposits a SupporterPass (100 SUI collateral) → borrows 50 SUI → pays 0.5 SUI origination fee → receives 49.5 SUI. Over 6 months, her pass earns ~60 SUI in rewards. Keepers harvest periodically, paying down the loan automatically. Loan is repaid, excess rewards go to Alice, and she withdraws her pass. Zero manual payments required.
