Gondor is a decentralized finance protocol where traders borrow USDC by using their Polymarket positions as collateral in non-custodial lending pools.
About Gondor
What is Gondor?
Gondor is a decentralized finance protocol for prediction markets. It has a lending platform where traders borrow USDC against their open positions on Polymarket. Users transfer their ERC-1155 tokens into non-custodial lending pools to access this liquidity. The protocol uses Morpho smart contracts to manage these assets without taking control of user funds.
The tool provides capital efficiency for market participants. Traders use the borrowed funds to open new positions or manage existing risk. This infrastructure supports institutions and individual traders who use prediction market shares as collateral for loans.
