How Cube keeps every Circle healthy
Cube is built around one idea: saving together only works when trust, visibility, and accountability are built in by default. That's why Cube doesn't rely on assumptions. It relies on signals.
Safety on Cube isn't a single feature. It's a system.
Cube Health: a real-time snapshot
Every Cube has a Health status that gives you a clear, at-a-glance view of how things are going. This isn't guesswork or opinion. It's based on actual activity inside the Cube.
Cube Health looks at factors like:
- Whether contributions are being made on time
- Whether cycles are completing as expected
- Whether there are overdue payments
- Whether members have consistent payment history
- Whether Trust Scores across the Cube remain strong
From there, each Cube is categorized into a simple status:
- Healthy / Stable: contributions are flowing, cycles are on track
- Watch: minor delays or signals that need attention
- Risk: repeated issues that could affect future cycles
This information is visible so you can understand the state of your Cube before problems escalate.
Trust Score: accountability at the member level
While Cube Health shows how a group is doing, Trust Score shows how individuals show up.
Every member starts at 100%. Your score increases when you contribute on time and decreases when you don't. Trust Scores are visible within each Cube, giving everyone clarity on reliability without awkward conversations.
This creates a natural incentive to follow through and helps members make informed decisions about who they save with.
No custody, less risk
Cube does not hold money. Payments move directly between members using familiar tools like Zelle or Venmo. That means:
- No pooled funds sitting in an account
- No exposure to custody risk
- No delays caused by intermediaries
Cube coordinates timing and records confirmations, but the money stays between people.
What happens when something goes wrong
If a payment is delayed or a confirmation hasn't happened yet, Cube doesn't freeze the system. Instead, it tracks the issue, follows up when needed, and keeps the rest of the Cube moving. The goal is continuity without chaos.
The bigger picture
Cube doesn't promise safety by words alone. It shows it through structure.
Group health. Individual accountability. Full visibility.
That's how Cube creates an environment where trust isn't assumed it's earned and reinforced every cycle.
