# Marketplace and Private Workflows

Quantix supports two ways of forming credit.

The **marketplace** is the public surface. Pools are listed with their delegate, strategy, settlement asset, capacity, and live metrics, so a lender can compare opportunities and deposit into the pool that fits their mandate. Permissioned pools appear in the marketplace but gate participation behind eligibility and KYC; open pools are accessible to a broader audience subject to the pool's terms and jurisdictional restrictions.

**Private workflows** cover credit that is arranged bilaterally — single-lender facilities, negotiated terms, or relationships that are not offered to the public. These use the same underwriting, legal, and servicing machinery as marketplace pools but are not openly listed. The distinction is one of distribution, not of standards: a privately arranged loan is underwritten and documented to the same bar as a public one.
