Gondor Launches V1 Portfolio-Backed Margin Account for Polymarket

Gondor says the non-custodial cross-margin system can lower borrowing costs by treating a trader's full portfolio as collateral.

Overview

  • Gondor introduced V1, a non-custodial margin account that lets Polymarket traders borrow against their entire prediction-market portfolios.
  • The cross-margin design uses gains in some positions to cover losses in others so Gondor can offer larger credit lines at lower cost.
  • The product follows a seven-month closed beta in which more than 150,000 people joined the waitlist and 1,000 active traders were selected to test the system.
  • Private access is set to begin next week with a public launch planned for September, and Gondor has not yet disclosed borrowing rates, collateral rules, liquidation thresholds, or initial supported markets.
  • Private testing will determine how the platform allocates risk between borrowers and lenders and whether cross-margining stops rapid, position-level losses from forcing high fees or early loan closures.
