Gondor

Gondor is a protocol that lets Polymarket traders borrow against the positions they already hold, rather than closing them out for liquidity. According to the site, users can access up to 50% of the current value of their positions as a loan, turning open prediction market bets into usable capital without forcing an exit from the trade. The project describes itself as the DeFi layer for prediction markets, positioning it as infrastructure that sits on top of Polymarket rather than a separate trading venue. It was built with a grant from Polymarket, and the team notes that Polymarket's own engineers have supported development over the past eight months. The product is not yet live: the site is currently collecting signups for a waitlist ahead of a v1 launch, asking prospective users for an email address and their Polymarket profile. This suggests the initial rollout will be tied to verified Polymarket accounts, likely to assess existing positions before extending borrowing capacity against them.
