# Commercialization Path

> From perks, to credit, to institutions

> [!WARNING]

> **Editorial note (added during the Nov 2026 whitepaper/deck consistency review):** this section was left blank in the whitepaper V1 source document. The text below is ported from the equivalent "06 — Commercialization Path" slide in the companion pitch deck (`Decks/SeedNode Whitepaper EN 7:25.pptx`), which restates the same three-phase progression already locked in [Roadmap & Milestones](https://docs.seednode.ai/roadmap.md). Flagging this for Charlie's sign-off rather than leaving the page empty or inventing new content.

## From perks, to credit, to institutions

**Phase 1 — Reputation Display + Perks.** Goal: validate that people will show their wallet in exchange for real benefits. Key actions: partner with 2–3 Web3-native merchants/services for discounts, allowlists, and event access.

**Phase 2 — Uncollateralized DeFi Credit.** Goal: prove the score actually predicts repayment behavior. Key actions: integrate with 3Jane / Goldfinch-style protocols; Ring drives real on-chain credit lines.

**Phase 3 — Real-World Institutions.** Goal: let on-chain reputation shape real-world credit terms. Key actions: requires legal structures, licensing, or partner institutions.

See [Roadmap & Milestones](https://docs.seednode.ai/roadmap.md) for the full timeline.
