Lender Rights

Collateral recovery options

Lien OnlyDefault

UE can only enforce the junior lien at sale. No foreclosure right. Max LTV: 62.5% (Verified/Prime) or varies for Standard with BR.

Foreclosure RightHigher LTV

Grant UE the right to foreclose. Gets up to 75% LTV (Verified), 70% (Prime/Standard). Paradox: 75% with foreclosure is safer for depositors than 62.5% without.

Key insight: Lower LGD from foreclosure rights means depositors face less risk, so they can lend more. You benefit from the math.

TOKENIZED LIEN COLLATERAL™

A New Kind of Financial Product

Your home equity, secured on-chain and backed by a county-recorded junior lien, used as collateral to borrow USDC. You receive cash — not an equity-sharing arrangement with investors.

County-Recorded Lien

A voluntary junior lien is recorded at your county clerk's office. This is the same legal instrument used by Point, Hometap, and Unlock to secure $3B+ in home equity transactions.

Tokenized on Base

Your lien position is secured as on-chain collateral on Base L2. On-chain, transparent, and auditable by anyone.

USDC via DeFi Lending

UnblockEquity secures your equity on-chain and borrows USDC on your behalf through a transparent DeFi lending protocol. Your funds are never held by a middleman.

You Borrow, and Your Risk Goes Down

With Breathing Room™, any overdue payments are caught up instantly. Then 3–12 months of future payments are escrowed and paid automatically to your mortgage servicer by a licensed title company. The borrower is now guaranteed to perform for the full escrow period. Every other equity product ignores your mortgage obligations. Breathing Room handles them.

Arrears cured instantlyPayments auto-escrowedBridge to HELOC graduation

UE Is a Bridge to HELOC

Breathing Room cures your arrears, pre-pays future months, and builds 12+ months of clean payment history. That clean history is exactly what banks need to approve a traditional HELOC. We are the on-ramp, not the destination.

WHY WE EXIST

Not All Equity Access Is Equal

Traditional lenders take weeks and demand perfect credit. Your home has real value — we look at your asset, not your paperwork. You choose what to verify.

Traditional HELOC

Weeks of paperwork, 40% denial rate

  • Credit score 680+ required
  • Income verification & W-2s
  • 30-60 day approval process
  • Denied for any blemish on credit history
  • Variable interest rates (~8% APR)
  • Monthly payments required
  • Bank can freeze your line anytime

UnblockEquity Borrow

3 axes, your configuration

  • Verified, Prime, or Standard — you choose
  • Asset-based: your home qualifies you
  • Same-day funding via DeFi
  • Breathing Room catches up arrears automatically
  • Interest accrues at ~4% APY variable — no fixed schedule
  • Repay any amount, any time — no prepayment penalty
  • Up to 75% LTV with foreclosure right
HOMESTEAD SAFE

Your FL Homestead
Stays Protected

Unlike equity-sharing or title-transfer models, our junior lien approach keeps your Florida homestead protections fully intact. No title transfer means no disruption.

Legal basis: The Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 explicitly permits subordinate liens without triggering due-on-sale clauses. Junior liens are a standard, well-established real estate instrument.

$50K+ Tax Exemption Preserved

No title transfer means your Florida homestead exemption remains in full effect. Save thousands every year on property taxes.

Save Our Homes 3% Cap Intact

Your assessed value stays capped at 3% annual increase. Losing this protection could mean a 40-60% tax jump overnight.

Creditor Protection Maintained

Florida homestead creditor protection shields your primary residence from most judgments. Our model preserves this entirely.

No Due-on-Sale Risk

Junior liens are not a sale or transfer. Federal law (Garn-St. Germain Act) explicitly permits them without triggering your mortgage's due-on-sale clause.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before accessing your equity.

No. A junior lien is not a transfer of title or a sale. The Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 explicitly protects subordinate liens from triggering due-on-sale clauses. Your first mortgage remains completely unaffected.
Your loan-to-value (LTV) is capped based on your selected configuration — from 45% to 75% depending on your verification level, Breathing Room selection, and recovery right. This provides a significant downside buffer. We do not issue margin calls. The lien is settled when you sell, refinance, or at term end.
There is no fixed payment schedule. Interest accrues continuously on your balance at a variable DeFi rate (~4% APY). You repay on your own terms — any amount, any time — with no prepayment penalty. Most homeowners settle when they sell, refinance, or reach term maturity (typically 10-30 years).
USDC is a regulated digital dollar issued by Circle, backed 1:1 by cash and US Treasury reserves. It is redeemable for US dollars at any time through Coinbase, Kraken, or other major exchanges. Think of it as a digital version of a US dollar.
Breathing Room™ is our built-in payment protection add-on. It catches up any overdue payments and pre-funds 3-12 months of future mortgage payments through a licensed escrow agent. It is MANDATORY if you have missed payments (it cures your arrears and prevents further delinquency). It is OPTIONAL if you are current on payments — but even current borrowers may want it as a safety net. Longer BR tiers have lower add-on fees.
Granting UE the right to foreclose makes you a safer borrower from the lender's perspective — lower Loss Given Default (LGD). In return, you get significantly higher LTV: up to 75% for Verified (vs 62.5% lien-only) or 70% for Prime/Standard. Paradoxically, 75% LTV with foreclosure rights is SAFER for depositors than 62.5% without, because the expected loss is lower.
Choose based on how much runway you need. BR3 if your blemish was ~9 months ago and you just need a short bridge. BR6 if you fell behind ~6 months ago. BR12 if you recently missed payments and need a full year of clean history to qualify for a traditional HELOC. Longer tiers have lower add-on fees: BR12 adds only 0.5% origination vs BR3's 1.5%.
We are launching in Florida first due to favorable junior lien and homestead laws. We plan to expand to Texas, California, and other states in 2026-2027. Join the waitlist to be notified when we reach your state.
You can sell your home at any time. The junior lien is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, just like a second mortgage or HELOC would be. Your title company handles this as part of the standard closing process.
We use ATTOM's Automated Valuation Model (AVM), the same data source used by major banks, insurance companies, and real estate platforms. This gives you a free instant estimate. The $349 doc generation fee covers the on-chain collateral setup and county-recorded lien filing.
