Why did Gondor launch V1 for Polymarket traders?

Gondor launched V1 to let Polymarket traders borrow against their full portfolios instead of individual positions. The company said the new system can increase borrowing capacity and reduce financing costs.

How does Gondor's portfolio-backed lending work?

Gondor uses a cross-margin system that evaluates a trader's entire Polymarket portfolio as collateral. The company said gains from one position can offset losses in another when calculating borrowing limits.

What are the benefits of Gondor's new lending model?

Gondor said the portfolio-backed model allows larger credit lines and lets traders keep positions open until prediction markets settle. The company also said it can support more prediction markets than its earlier lending system.

When will Gondor make V1 available to users?

Gondor said private access to V1 will begin next week. The company plans to launch the platform publicly in September.

What details has Gondor not announced for V1?

Gondor has not announced borrowing rates, collateral requirements, liquidation thresholds, or the prediction markets available at launch. The company said more details are expected as the rollout continues.

The new system replaces position-based lending with portfolio-backed credit.
Private access starts next week before a public launch planned for September.

Gondor launched V1, a lending platform that lets Polymarket traders borrow against their entire portfolio instead of individual positions.

The company said the new cross-margin system uses a trader's full portfolio as collateral to determine borrowing limits.

Gondor said the new model helps traders borrow more while reducing financing costs.

The company said the system allows loans to stay open until prediction markets settle instead of requiring early repayment.

Private access will begin next week, while Gondor plans to open the platform to the public in September.

Gondor tested the platform for seven months with 1,000 active Polymarket traders selected from more than 150,000 applicants on its waitlist.

The company has not yet announced borrowing rates, collateral requirements, liquidation rules, or the prediction markets that will be available at launch.
