Unlocking trillions in idle capital.

Monolith is building the end-to-end US venue for onchain institutional derivatives.

The problem

All capital should be efficient collateral.

Commodity markets move continuously. The capital behind them often doesn’t. Vast amounts of value sit in physical inventory, in storage and in transit, while the capital tied to those assets remains difficult to put to work.
Tokenization changed what can be represented and moved onchain. The infrastructure around collateral and risk management remains fragmented.

On Monolith, any eligible real-world asset can be tokenized, collateralized, and hedged in hours, not days.

Monolith

One end-to-end venue.

Monolith operates the markets.
Clearing, compliance, collateral and settlement sit with regulated partners, with tail risk managed at the clearing layer.

The architecture is designed so eligible assets can support positions through those partners while execution and settlement move onchain. Monolith is leveraging hashgraph technology for high-throughput, secure onchain infrastructure, with privacy designed around institutional participation.

New rails. Same institutional standards.

Perpetual futures

Perpetual futures.
Built for the present.

Monolith is developing cash-settled perpetual futures designed for continuous exposure. No expiry. No recurring roll. One continuous contract per benchmark. In energy, our perpetual contracts are designed to complement dated futures used for calendar-specific hedging.

Built from institutional market experience

Venue design is informed by 25+ years in quantitative markets, including executive FICC leadership at Citi and energy trading at Citadel.

Real exposure

From idle capital
to active collateral.

Eligible physical inventory, infrastructure and financial assets are designed to become usable collateral through Monolith’s clearing partners.

In energy, that means an oil cargo in transit can hedge the commodity it carries, with collateralization designed to happen in hours instead of weeks.

Put real assets to work.

Credibility

Built for regulated institutions
across the globe.

Monolith is built by Windhelm Labs, bringing together experience across institutional derivatives, energy trading, quantitative risk, market infrastructure and production onchain systems.

Monolith is US-based and is pursuing CFTC registration as a Designated Contract Market.
