Split a stock into its price and its dividends.
Each half becomes its own token. Keep the one you want, sell the other for cash, borrow against either, or lend them out. Hold both and you can turn them back into the stock at any time.
One stock, two assets, eight ways to use them
Both halves are separate tokens you can pledge, sell, lend or hold. Here are all eight uses side by side.
How the split works
One SPY goes into the split contract and one of each token comes out. A tracker watches SPY for changes so that only real dividends reach the dividend token.
What each token can do
Both tokens plug into the desks Lightbringer already runs. Selling future dividends for cash is the one new desk.
| What you want | With the principal token | With the dividend token | Where | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash now for future dividends | Not available | A buyer posts a USDG price. Accept it and you are paid on the spot. | Dividend desk | The buyer keeps every dividend from then on. |
| Borrow USDG | Against the principal's price. You keep its moves. | Against dividends already earned. Future ones never count. | Lending pools | Liquidation if the value falls below the limit. |
| Cash now, buy back later | Sell at a small discount with a fixed buy-back price. | Same terms, on the dividend token. | Sell and buy back desk | Skip the buy-back and the buyer keeps it. |
| Earn a fee | Lend it for a set term. | Lend it for a set term. | Stock lending | The fee stops if you recall it early. |
| Collect dividends yourself | Not available | Claim each dividend as SPY, whenever you like. | Split contract | Companies can cut or skip dividends. |
| Get SPY back | Redeem for SPY at maturity. | Merge with a PT for SPY, any time. | Split contract | Merging needs one of each. |
Life of a series
Every series ends on one maturity date. Dividends reach the dividend token as they are paid, and the principal token becomes SPY at the end.
What keeps it sound
Splits are never paid out as dividends
Only rises of up to 3% count as dividends. Anything unclear waits two days in public before it counts.
Merging is always open
One of each token always gets you one SPY back, even while everything else is paused.
Borrowing pauses when a change is unclear
Prices for both tokens stop until the tracker has classified the change, so no loan runs on a stale number.
The two halves always add up
What principal and dividend holders receive equals exactly the SPY deposited. The split contract never lends out what it holds.
Next: loans that pay themselves off
Treasury-bill funds like SGOV pay around 4 to 5% a year. Pledge both tokens of SGOV, borrow USDG below that rate, and the dividends pay the loan down on their own.
