Stage 3

The Capital Formation Layer

Status: In Progress

Core Objective: To introduce sophisticated mechanisms for capital locking and directed growth, moving the protocol from bootstrapping to self-sustaining expansion. This stage establishes the core financial engines that will drive the protocol's long-term economic sovereignty.

User Benefits:

• Access to the Bond Engine, providing a novel vehicle for saving and earning a guaranteed future allocation of GUILD and 3Fi tokens.

• Participation in long-term incentive programs (Rebates) that align with 3's horizon.

• A more robust and valuable ecosystem as the protocol's treasury and economic activity grow through the Arbitrage Engine.

Deliverables list.

The following deliverables for Stage 3 are complete and undergoing final testing ahead of audit and main-net deployment.

Bonds & Capital Locking

• Bond Factory Contract

• Bond Rebate Engine

• Vesting Contract

• Startup Token Contracts (PRIME & ALPHA)

Governance & Tokenomics

• 3Fi Token Contract

• 3Fi Staking Contracts

Protocol Infrastructure

• Updated Settlement Contract (with Split Variable logic)

• Arbitrage Engine Master Node

• Revenue Splitter Contract

Goals for this Stage

• Successfully pass security audits for all Stage 3 contracts.

• Deploy the Capital Formation Layer to Ethereum main-net.

• Activate the Bond and Arbitrage Engines, initiating a self-reinforcing cycle of treasury growth.

• Onboard strategic partners through the startup token program to bootstrap ecosystem liquidity.
