IX. Conclusion

What We're Actually Building​

This is not:

  • A get-rich-quick scheme
  • A guaranteed way to eliminate all credit card debt
  • A revolution that happens overnight
  • A perfect solution to all of banking's problems

This is:

  • Infrastructure for community-owned credit
  • A real product that might help some people save money
  • A multi-year effort with uncertain outcome
  • An attempt to align incentives better than traditional finance

Success looks like:

  • 100k-1M people use the copilot and find it helpful
  • 10k-100k people borrow at fairer rates than they'd otherwise get
  • Token holders govern the protocol reasonably well
  • Protocol is sustainable without extraction

Failure looks like:

  • Copilot doesn't provide enough value to attract users
  • Can't get banking license or face prohibitive regulation
  • AI credit models don't work in practice
  • Token governance devolves into plutocracy or apathy
  • Can't achieve sustainable unit economics

We think success is possible. But it requires:

  • Users willing to try something new
  • Community willing to govern responsibly
  • Regulators willing to allow innovation
  • Luck and good execution

The Core Thesis​

Traditional consumer credit is structurally misaligned:

  • Shareholder capitalism requires extraction
  • Opacity enables unjustified pricing
  • Legacy costs make efficiency impossible

Three technologies now enable an alternative:

  • AI enables operational efficiency
  • ZK-proofs enable privacy-preserving reputation
  • Smart contracts enable community ownership

DreamPass combines these to create:

  • Financial infrastructure with aligned incentives
  • Credit scoring with more signals and transparency
  • Lending protocol owned by its users

If this works, the impact is:

  • Billions saved by families
  • Template for community-owned financial infrastructure
  • Proof that crypto can solve real problems

If this fails, the lessons are:

  • What worked and what didn't
  • Where the real barriers are
  • What to try differently next time

Either way, the attempt is worthwhile.
