Onchain finance has spent the last few years focused on RWAs — bringing real-world assets onchain.
PoolFans is focused on something adjacent, but structurally different:
RWCs — Real World Cashflows.
PoolFans began with a narrow but intentional use case:
tokenizing Clanker creator reward streams.
Fees accrue onchain, flow into a vault, and mint tokens representing pro-rata claim rights. Those tokens can be traded, routed, or composed into markets.
This demonstrated a simple idea:
Once revenue settles onchain, it can behave like a financial primitive.
That insight generalizes.
The first expansion stays crypto-native.
We’re introducing additional Clanker-style LP pools with tokenized rewards built directly into the pool architecture. These pools support:
Clanker tokens seeking deeper liquidity
any ERC-20 token
automatic emission of tokenized reward streams
Liquidity stops being incidental. It becomes a revenue-emitting surface by default.
Next, the primitive expands beyond any single protocol:
Framework for tokenizing any onchain cashflow, using standardized vaults that turn revenue into claimable instruments.
Simple Vaults are designed for open-ended revenue streams:
revenue flows in continuously
tokens represent pro-rata claim rights
holders can claim at any time
tokens persist indefinitely
These are well-suited for:
protocol fees
ongoing creator revenue
subscriptions
usage-based pricing
They represent continuous participation in a live revenue stream.
Time-Locked Vaults introduce duration.
They mint ERC-20 shares that represent claim rights on future revenue, with a fixed maturity defined at deployment.
shares are freely transferable during the lock
the lock expiry is immutable
after expiry, holders redeem once
redemption burns all shares (burn-on-claim)
This creates a clean lifecycle:
trade during the term → redeem at maturity → exit
Functionally, these behave like revenue stream bonds.
Markets price:
duration
expected yield
revenue reliability
This enables fixed-term revenue financing, forward pricing of cashflows, and secondary markets for time-bounded exposure.
Time-Locked Vault shares support modern authorization-based transfer standards:
ERC-2612 (permit)
ERC-3009 (authorized transfers)
This enables gasless transfers, intent-based routing, and integrations with payment and settlement rails—allowing revenue instruments to move as naturally as any native token.
Once the system supports:
continuous revenue streams
fixed-term revenue bonds
market routing and liquidity formation
…the source of the revenue stops being the defining factor.
This is where RWCs come in.
RWCs represent real-world revenue that settles onchain and flows through the same vault and market infrastructure.
An online business generates USD revenue.
Sales occur offchain
Revenue is converted into USDC on Base
USDC is deposited into a PoolFans vault
Tokens are minted representing claim rights
Tokens trade, route, and redeem onchain
The cashflow becomes onchain-native.
The markets treat it the same as any other revenue stream.
Across all phases, the architecture stays consistent:
FANS → governance + revenue access
ZAPS → market ignition + liquidity routing
Revenue / RWC Tokens → cashflow claims
Whether revenue originates from:
creator rewards
protocol fees
LP activity
or real-world commerce
…it flows through the same stack once it settles onchain.
RWAs bring existing assets onchain.
RWCs bring ongoing economic activity onchain.
By focusing on cashflows, PoolFans enables markets that are:
continuously priceable
composable
duration-aware
and governed at the protocol layer
Tokenized fees were the starting point.
Generalized onchain cashflows expand the surface.
RWCs extend it beyond crypto while preserving the same structure.
RWAs represent what exists.
RWCs represent what flows.
PoolFans is evolving from tokenized creator rewards into infrastructure for global cashflow markets — continuous or fixed-term, crypto-native or real-world.
That’s the vision.
