The First Cube
This build
Threshold, Seat, and The Book on Robinhood Chain. NVDA, TSLA, SPY as Paper against ETH. First Step pays the Cut to the Vault.
A money-market desk on Robinhood Chain.
Why this exists
Robinhood Chain listed US stocks and ETFs as ERC-20s. The paper is on-chain — but there was no way to raise ETH without selling the listing. Selling NVDA to make dry powder is the old exit.
On-chain money markets still want crypto as collateral. Brokerage margin still lives off-chain. Tokenized equity sat in wallets like a trophy: listed, transferable, and useless as a borrowing base.
Jidon is the desk that treats those ERC-20s as Paper. Pledge the paper and Draw ETH, or Post ETH and earn the Borrow rate. The Cut is ETH, paid to one Vault, on the first Step. You do not sell.
Listed
The ERC-20 already exists. NVDA, TSLA, SPY — paper that the chain can custody.
Illiquid
No ETH desk against that paper. Selling the listing was the only exit.
The joint
Pledge. Draw. Post. The Cut is ETH, to one Vault, on the first Step.
You do not sell.

How the desk works
Three cubes. One staircase. Markets go up by adding cubes.
Pledge
Lock NVDA, TSLA, or SPY as collateral. The listing stays yours — labeled, never sold.

This build
Threshold, Seat, and The Book on Robinhood Chain. NVDA, TSLA, SPY as Paper against ETH. First Step pays the Cut to the Vault.
Not this build
More Listings, a thicker ETH book. The same staircase — still no sale of Paper.
Not this build
A second cash leg if the Desk opens it. Still a money market against listed equity. Not a trading venue.
