Overview
Becoming an Embedded integration partner involves a structured onboarding process. This page covers what protocols need, what Leviathan provides, and the steps from initial application through go-live.Onboarding Steps
Apply
Submit a partnership application describing your protocol, revenue model, user base, and integration goals. The Inkwell team reviews applications on a rolling basis.What to include:
- Protocol name, chain(s), and contract addresses
- Monthly active users and transaction volume
- Revenue model and fee structure
- Intended use case for Embedded Lending (margin trading, leveraged yield, working capital, etc.)
Due Diligence
Leviathan’s team evaluates the protocol across several dimensions:
- Revenue verification — confirming that the protocol generates verifiable on-chain revenue
- Contract review — reviewing the protocol’s smart contracts for compatibility with function gating
- Risk assessment — evaluating the risk profile of lending within the protocol’s specific context
- Legal review — ensuring the integration structure fits within both parties’ compliance frameworks
Whitelist Approval
Upon successful due diligence, the protocol is approved and its on-chain configuration is established:
- Protocol whitelist — the set of contract addresses and program IDs that borrowed capital can interact with
- Function gate — the specific functions on those contracts that are permitted
- Revenue split — the configuration for how revenue flows between borrower, protocol, and loan repayment
- Agreement template — the legal agreement template for users borrowing through the protocol
Technical Integration
The protocol’s engineering team integrates the Leviathan Embedded SDK into their frontend:
- Install
@leviathan/sdkand set up theEmbeddedLendingClient - Implement eligibility checks, agreement flows, and loan origination in the UI
- Add loan state display and repayment progress tracking
- Configure wallet signing for Leviathan transactions
Testing
Before go-live, both teams validate the integration on testnet:
- End-to-end flow — verify the full path from eligibility check through loan completion
- Policy enforcement — confirm that function gating correctly restricts capital usage
- Revenue splits — validate that splitter contracts route funds correctly
- Error handling — test edge cases and ensure the UI handles failures gracefully
What Protocols Need
Verifiable On-Chain Revenue
The core requirement for Embedded Lending is that user activity within your protocol generates verifiable, on-chain revenue. This revenue serves as the basis for loan repayment through automated splitters. Examples of qualifying revenue:- Trading fees from DEX activity
- Yield from lending or staking operations
- Royalties from marketplace transactions
- Protocol fees from any on-chain service
Technical Team
A development team capable of:- Integrating a TypeScript SDK into your existing frontend
- Working with Solana wallet adapters for transaction signing
- Testing and maintaining the integration over time
Legal Entity
A legal entity that can enter into a partnership agreement with Inkwell Finance. The agreement covers:- Revenue share terms
- Liability and risk allocation
- Data sharing and privacy
- Termination conditions

- Health monitoring and enforcement automation
- Default resolution through standard Leviathan mechanisms
Timeline
Typical onboarding follows this timeline:| Phase | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Application review | 3–5 business days | Faster for protocols with public, verifiable revenue |
| Due diligence | 1–2 weeks | Depends on contract complexity and legal review |
| Whitelist setup | 2–3 business days | On-chain configuration and testing |
| Technical integration | 1–2 weeks | Depends on protocol’s engineering capacity |
| Testing | 3–5 business days | Joint testnet validation |
| Total | 2–4 weeks | End-to-end from application to go-live |
Timelines vary based on protocol complexity, engineering availability, and legal review requirements. Protocols with existing Solana wallet integration and clean contract architectures typically onboard faster.
