# gage

**Cash against your stocks and memes. No liquidation.**

gage is a market of small, fixed, honest deals on Robinhood Chain. A borrower pledges tokenised stocks, a meme that trades against them, or a stock/USDG position on Uniswap, and receives USDG from a lender. The cost is fixed. The date is fixed. Nothing can touch the collateral before that date, and on the date the borrower chooses: pay the cap and take the collateral back, or walk away and let the lender keep it.

{% hint style="info" %}
**No liquidation** means: nothing can touch your collateral before expiry; at expiry you choose.
{% endhint %}

## Three ways in

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Borrow</strong></td><td>Get USDG today. Take your tokens back on a date you pick. You set the most you will pay to get them back, and 7 or 21 days.</td><td><a href="/pages/qnYcODsSS71w0v1lQCur">/pages/qnYcODsSS71w0v1lQCur</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Lend</strong></td><td>Get paid a fixed amount to fund a deal. If the borrower reclaims, you are paid the cap. If they walk away, their tokens are yours at a discount.</td><td><a href="/pages/oiIidwhxLUargKVVzBHt">/pages/oiIidwhxLUargKVVzBHt</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Provide liquidity</strong></td><td>Pair the sGAGE you earned with GAGE and the pool pays you every week for being there. Nothing to stake, nothing to lock.</td><td><a href="/pages/quNEAbGOrSrOcrGRuHQp">/pages/quNEAbGOrSrOcrGRuHQp</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## One deal, start to finish

| Step               | What happens                                                                                         | Example                                                            |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **1 · List**       | Choose what you pledge, the most you will pay to get it back (the cap), and 7 or 21 days.            | 12.5 NVDA · cap 1,824.00 USDG · 7 days                             |
| **2 · Funded**     | A lender funds your asking price. The USDG lands in your balance at once.                            | you receive 1,814.88 USDG · fixed cost 9.12 USDG, 0.50% for 7 days |
| **3 · You choose** | On the date: pay the cap and take your NVDA back, or keep the USDG and let the lender have the NVDA. | reclaim: pay 1,824.00 · walk away: keep 1,814.88                   |

A listing is not a loan until it is funded. Grace is the window after expiry in which only the borrower can reclaim; when it ends, the lender may claim.

## What every deal is

Every deal is one borrower, one lender, one bag of collateral, one cap, one date. There is no oracle, no margin call, no forced sale, and no admin path to anyone's funds. The contracts are immutable.

Both sides of every deal earn sGAGE, the reward token. It arrives locked and drips out over the deal, slowly at first and then fast. Unlocked sGAGE can be claimed, sold, or paired with GAGE in the pool.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For lenders: **You may end up holding the collateral instead of USDG.** On the meme lane: **Memes can go to zero. If the borrower walks away, you hold it.**
{% endhint %}

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
