YOUR EQUITY JOURNEY

Five Cards. One Story.

Each card represents a step in your equity unlock. Scroll to follow the transformation from trapped equity to liquid cash.

Step 1

Start with what you have

Your home is worth $1.1M and you have ~$500K in equity. Traditional lenders take months and demand perfect credit to access it. We changed that.

Tokenize on-chain

Your equity agreement is secured as on-chain collateral on Base L2. Tokenized representation of your signed SEA. The collateral unlocks DeFi borrowing — no bank needed.

THE BORROWING PIPELINE

Three Choices, One Offer

Eight steps, no bank involved, settled on-chain. You make 3 decisions — verification, escrow, and recovery right — and we calculate the rest.

1

Enter Your Property Details

Enter your address and get an instant ATTOM AVM valuation. See home value, existing mortgage, available equity, and max borrowable amount.

Asset-based. Your home qualifies you.

2

Choose Verification Level

AXIS 1

Verified (full underwriting, 0.75% origination), Prime (soft pull, 1.0%), or Standard (no credit check, 1.5%). The more you prove, the less you pay.

Verified: PD 2.5% | Prime: PD 4.0% | Standard: PD 17%

3

Choose Breathing Room

AXIS 2

Select 3, 6, or 12 months of escrowed mortgage payments. If you're behind on payments, Breathing Room is mandatory — it catches you up and builds clean payment history.

BR3: 35% cure | BR6: 50% cure | BR12: 70% cure

4

Choose Recovery Right

AXIS 3

Lien-only (passive, 62.5% max LTV) or foreclosure right (active recovery, up to 75% LTV). Granting foreclosure rights unlocks more capital because it dramatically reduces the depositor's LGD.

Lien-only LGD: 41.4% | Foreclosure LGD: 20.3-25.6%

5

Choose Your Borrow Amount

Use a slider to set how much you want to borrow — you're never forced to max out. Your 3 axis choices plus your borrow amount combine into a unique risk profile with transparent fees and total cash available. At most borrow levels, your home's natural appreciation covers the interest, making positions self-sustaining.

Lower borrow = safer position. Most combos need under 1-2% HPI to break even.

6

Sign SEA + File Lien

DocuSign e-sign + Notarize.com remote online notarization. The voluntary junior lien is recorded at the county via Simplifile e-recording. All digital, all legal.

Garn-St. Germain Act protects your primary mortgage.

7

Tokens Minted + Deposited

beHOME tokens (ERC-20) are minted on Base L2, representing your equity agreement. Tokens are deposited into the matching Morpho vault as collateral.

Collateral only. Not transferable. No secondary market (Phase 1).

8

USDC Borrowed + Disbursed

USDC is borrowed from the Morpho vault on your behalf. Breathing Room escrow is funded first, then remaining cash is converted to dollars and deposited to your bank.

We handle the blockchain. You get the cash.

The Bridge to HELOC

Breathing Room is a stepping stone, not a destination

Here's what banks don't tell you: the #1 reason for HELOC denial is late payments in the last 12 months. Breathing Room fixes this directly. The escrow catches up your arrears, then makes on-time payments for 3-12 months. When the escrow period ends, you have a clean payment history.

Before
3+ missed payments
HELOC denied
During BR
On-time via escrow
History rebuilding
After
12 months on-time
HELOC eligible

Graduate from UnblockEquity to a traditional HELOC at lower rates. Repay us, release the lien, and you're free. We're the bridge — not the destination.

How Combinations Work

Pick one from each axis. A Verified + BR12 + Foreclosure borrower gets 75% LTV at 0.75% + 2.0% origination, with an effective PD of just 0.75%. A Standard + Naked + Lien-only borrower pays 1.5% origination at 62.5% LTV with 17% PD — the highest cost, but still no credit check required.

BUILT ON TRUST

Verified at Every Layer

From county records to blockchain consensus, every component is built on trusted, transparent infrastructure.

LAYER 1Legal

County-Recorded Junior Lien

Your lien is filed at the county recorder’s office as public record. E-signed via DocuSign, notarized via Notarize.com, recorded via Simplifile. Garn-St. Germain Act protects your primary mortgage.

LAYER 2Valuation

ATTOM AVM + Optional Upgrades

Every borrower gets a free ATTOM AVM (institutional-grade). Optional: HouseCanary Enhanced ($49), Hybrid Inspection ($149), or Full Licensed Appraisal ($399).

LAYER 3Blockchain

Base L2 + DeFi Lending

Coinbase’s Base L2 for low-cost token operations. Battle-tested DeFi lending protocol (independently audited, billions in TVL). Our contracts are open-source and verified on Basescan.

Why Not an LLC?

In Florida, transferring your property into an LLC destroys critical homestead protections: the $50,000+ property tax exemption, the Save Our Homes 3% assessment cap, and creditor protection. Our junior lien model preserves all of these because you never transfer title. The Garn-St. Germain Act (1982) explicitly permits junior liens without triggering the due-on-sale clause.
