Gondor, a DeFi startup built around Polymarket, said it is launching Gondor v1, which it describes as the first margin account product for Polymarket. The release is expected to go live publicly in September. Under the new version, users will be able to manage cross-margin across their full Polymarket holdings, borrow against the entire portfolio as collateral, and use that credit to buy additional prediction market shares. Gondor said the change expands on its beta product launched seven months ago, which mainly allowed borrowing against a single Polymarket position. By extending collateral treatment from one position to a whole portfolio, the company is aiming to improve capital efficiency for prediction market participants. Polymarket and Kalshi typically use a fully collateralized model, where users must post the full amount of risk up front and keep funds locked until an event settles. Gondor said its portfolio margin and lending structure is designed to unlock that capital, giving users extra liquidity without requiring them to immediately sell existing positions.

Gondor v1 will allow users to apply cross-margin treatment to their entire Polymarket portfolio. Users will be able to borrow against the full portfolio as collateral, then use the resulting credit line to buy more prediction market shares, a structure the company said is meant to raise capital efficiency and support leveraged exposure.
The release expands on Gondor's beta version introduced seven months ago. That earlier product mainly let users borrow against a single Polymarket position. In v1, the collateral base is widened to cover the whole portfolio.
Prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi usually operate on a fully collateralized model, requiring users to deposit the full amount of risk in advance and keep funds locked until an event is settled. Gondor said it is trying to unlock that trapped capital through portfolio margining and lending, so users can access additional liquidity and continue placing bets without immediately selling their positions.
