# Venue Prefunding

> One credit layer across your CEX and OTC venues - execute everywhere without parking capital at each one. Coming soon.

<Note>
  **Coming soon.** Venue Prefunding is in design as a product of the [Shared Collateral Network](/collateral). The custody and enforcement structure publishes with the product; nothing below is a committed parameter.
</Note>

## The Prefunding Tax

A PSP or trading desk today parks balances at every venue it might need - each CEX sub-account, each OTC desk, each corridor. Capital scales with venue count, not with flow: the same dollar has to exist once per venue, each copy sized for that venue's worst day, and most of it sits idle waiting for a day that rarely comes.

## One Credit Layer, Every Venue

Venue Prefunding collapses those copies into one committed capital layer: the desk executes at the venue now and repays as its own collections arrive. Draws are secured by the settlement objects they fund plus haircuts, inside a hard envelope - corridor limits, intraday caps, automatic stop-outs - with every participant KYB'd and policy-gated like everywhere else on the network.

* **Execute at flow size, fund at net size** - one pool sized for real, offsetting demand replaces a full balance at every venue; the freed capital goes back to work
* **Deeper than any prefunded balance** - the whole network's shared depth stands behind any one venue's surge, instead of each balance capping its own venue
* **One counterparty relationship** - a single credit layer under all venues, instead of a prefunding negotiation per venue
* **Custody-aware by design** - venue balances are the one case where money leaves the chain, so the product is built around custodial and legal enforcement, not just code

This is the network's lane for [payment networks](/use-cases/payment-networks) and desks running corridor flow at scale.
