Surge Credit is a Bitcoin-native dollar credit line. Not a loan - a revolving credit line you control. Draw what you need, repay when you want, re-borrow without reapplying. Your Bitcoin stays in verifiable Taproot vaults on the Bitcoin blockchain. Always. How it works: 1. Set up your wallet - create a self-custodial wallet in-app or connect your own. Your keys, always. 2. Choose your credit line - set your amount, pick variable or fixed rates 3. Lock your Bitcoin - deposit BTC into your Taproot vault, verified on-chain in ~30 minutes 4. Get your credit - funds arrive instantly, send USDC or spend with gift cards Why Surge Credit: Non-custodial - Surge never holds your Bitcoin or stablecoins. Zero rehypothecation - your collateral doesn’t get lent out, traded, or moved. Verifiable on-chain - inspect your Taproot vault anytime. Don’t trust, verify. Unilateral exit - repaid your line but collateral isn’t released? Take it back yourself. No permission needed. Enforced by Bitcoin. Health monitoring - live health meter tracks your collateral ratio. Notifications at every stage so you’re never caught off guard. Flexible repayment - no fixed terms, no schedules, no penalties. Repay any amount, anytime. Rates from 6.9% APR - variable rates that adjust with market demand, or lock in at 9.9% fixed. Spend your way: → Send USDC anywhere, instantly → Spend with gift cards → Bank transfers and card spending coming soon Built different: → No KYC → No token → No middlemen → Bitcoin-native collateral — no wrapping, no bridging → 12-month term, rollover anytime Surge Credit is built for Bitcoiners who refuse to compromise on custody to access liquidity. Your Bitcoin. Your terms.
