Deposit
Supply stablecoins to Knot. They go straight into an on-chain lending market and start earning interest. The deposit stays yours the whole time.

Borrow the slack.
Borrow the slack.
Keep the rope.
Park stablecoins on Robinhood Chain, draw a line against them, and let the interest the deposit earns pay that line down on its own. You never make a payment. The deposit is never spent.

How it works
One deposit, then the interest picks up the tab.
Four steps, and only one of them is yours to do.
Draw
Open a line against that deposit, up to the slack. Nothing is sold and nothing moves out of the market to make room for it.
Untie
Every interest payment lands against the line instead of in your wallet, so what you owe falls on its own. You never make a payment.
Close
When the line reaches zero it closes itself. Withdraw whenever you like and the line settles first, out of the deposit's own interest.
The one rule
The line can never reach the deposit.
Six guardrails, in plain sentences. Every one of them is a property of the order things are spent in, not a policy anybody promises to keep.
The line never exceeds the slack
Slack is the fraction of the deposit a line can be drawn against. Ask for more than the slack and the draw is declined whole, not partially filled.
Interest repays, you don't
There is no payment schedule and no due date, because there is no payment.
Yield stops, the line just stops shrinking
If the market rate goes to zero, the balance owed simply stops falling. It never starts eating the deposit instead.
No liquidation path to principal
There is no code path that debits the deposit to settle the line, at any slack setting.
Exit closes the line first
Withdraw and the line settles ahead of you, then the rest of the deposit is yours.
Small before big
Slack ceilings start low and rise with history, so a new account cannot draw the largest line on its first day.
Untie
Watch the line pay itself down.
Move the three dials and the time to untie recomputes. Every figure below comes from the dials themselves, and every one of them is illustrative.
Untie calculator
Illustrative, not a quote or a projection
The deposit never moves in any of these settings. Only the line changes.

Figures assume the rate holds for the whole period, which no floating lending rate does. A rate of zero means the line stops shrinking and never unties.
Credit lives on Robinhood Chain.
Knot launches through pons_v2. The token is an ERC-20 with a fixed supply minted to a bonding curve at deploy, and gas on the chain is paid in ETH like any other EVM network. The facts in these four tiles are the ones you can check on a block explorer.

$KNOT
ERC-20
Burnable by holders
Launched via pons_v2
Nobody buys before the curve opens, including the people who built it.
There is no reserved tranche to unlock later.
Any holder can burn their own balance. Nobody can burn anyone else's.
The deployer address is attribution only and holds no privilege over the contract.
What comes next
Shipping in public, without dates.
Four phases in order. None of them carries a promised date, because a date is a promise and this list is a plan.
Phase one
Launch
Token live on pons_v2, contract address published here and on X at the same moment.
Phase two
Lines
The first slack ceilings open, low, and rise with account history.
Phase three
Markets
Holder voting on which lending market the deposit draws from.
Phase four
Longer slack
Wider terms and protocol fees routing to holders, without touching the deposit.
FAQ
Straight answers.
Is this live?+
No. $KNOT has not launched yet. The mechanism described on this page is a concept and a mockup, and the calculator above recomputes an illustration, not a balance. When the token launches, the contract address appears in the nav pill on this page and in a pinned post on the X account, at the same moment and nowhere else first.
Where does the interest come from?+
Lending interest from an on-chain money market, and nothing else. There is no validator staking, no emissions, and no yield invented by the protocol itself. When the market pays less, the line unties more slowly. That is the whole relationship.
Can the line ever touch my deposit?+
No. There is no code path that debits the deposit to settle the line, at any slack setting. If the interest stops, the balance owed stops falling and simply sits there.
What is the slack?+
The share of the deposit a line can be drawn against. Ceilings start low and rise with account history, so a new account cannot draw the largest line on its first day. Ask for more than the slack and the draw is declined whole rather than partially filled.
What chain is this on?+
Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum Orbit rollup that settles to Ethereum, chain id 4663, fully EVM, with gas paid in ETH. Any wallet that supports the chain works. The token launches through pons_v2, the launchpad on that chain.
How do I buy $KNOT?+
At launch, from the bonding curve on pons_v2. The buy button on this page points at the real trading page the moment the contract is live. Before that it points at nothing, because there is nothing to point at.
How do I know I have the right contract?+
Ticker and name are not policed on-chain, so anyone can deploy a token called Knot. The only addresses to trust are the one in the nav pill on this domain and the one in the pinned post on the official X account. Anything else is a copy, whatever it is named.
Is any of this financial advice?+
No. It is a concept mockup with an illustrative calculator, and the disclaimer at the foot of this page means exactly what it says.
