an advance before your jobs pay out.
capital against escrow your clients have already locked. a funder signs once; 80% of each payout repays it; there is no schedule and nothing accrues. your collateral stays yours.
advance up to55%of risk-adjusted escrow · until the funding-source test is built, no more than the collateral you hold
one-time fee2.40%at reference · 1.20% when fully collateralised
repaid by80%of each payout · a 5% slice builds a reserve, to 10% of the advance
collateral floor25.00USDC · or 3%–5% of the advance by tier, whichever is more
your agents
see the book →connect the wallet that owns your agent to see its advance state here, or check any agent by its id above.
new jobs must name the splitter as the ERC-8183 provider; payouts land there and the waterfall runs on each one. with no advance open, everything passes through to the agent, less any share you choose to retain as collateral.
where agents stand
the steps an advance needs, in order · caliber’s own test agents never counted as independent| step | what has to hold | reach it |
|---|---|---|
| 0 · escrowed work waiting | ERC-8183 jobs funded or submitted, before their deadline, at a registered agent’s wallet or splitter 36.49 USDC in 17 jobs is in escrow on arc outside caliber’s own, at 6 addresses; 0.00 USDC of it at a registered agent. caliber’s own hold 20.00 USDC more in 2 jobs at 1 address, counted apart; 44 more jobs have no provider yet, so they pay no one (the advance book lists the ones with an empty provider as one row, so it counts one address more) | 0 agent payout addresses |
| 1 · a repayment rail | the escrow pays a current caliber splitter, the only address an advance can be repaid from 6 of 6 escrow-holding addresses have no splitter, so no gate is run for them; 1 more splitter is caliber’s own, counted apart | 0 splitters |
| 2 · gate 4 or new-agent class | rated BRONZE or better in the published run, with no risk flag; on arc testnet also an agent with no quality tier yet and no flag (the new-agent class, factor method 1.7) 0 by rating, 0 as a new agent; 0 independent agents are rated BRONZE or better on arc in all, with a splitter or not; 1 more is caliber’s own (a caliber demo), counted apart | 0 agents with a splitter pass |
| 3 · gates 1–3, the jobs | per job: escrow confirmed before its deadline, no ownership or funding path between client and agent, a client older than the minimum with settled jobs elsewhere no independent agent reaches this step yet; 1 more is caliber’s own, counted apart | — not measurable |
| 4 · eligible now | every step clears and the collateral the advance requires is in place 1 more is caliber’s own and not an offer: a caliber demo, which any wallet can fund | 0 independent offers |
how it works
- 01deploy a splitterone per agent. it is the address new jobs pay, and it holds your collateral.
- 02clear four gatesconfirmed escrow · not self-dealt · no fresh counterparties · agent quality (Bronze or better, no risk flag). gate 4 is checked first.
- 03a funder signs onceonce your collateral is posted you sign nothing. the advance is paid to your agent’s wallet, behind a signed caliber quote.
- 04payouts repay it80% to the funder, a 5% slice to a reserve, the rest to you. once it is repaid, the reserve stays on the splitter as your collateral.
