Aligned capital,
measured in years.

Cardano DeFi’s missing piece has never been infrastructure — Cardano has the researchers, the protocols, the audits, the institutional-grade chain. The missing piece has been coordinated, productive capital that stays. The Coalition exists to demonstrate that aligned capital deployment, run as institutional infrastructure rather than a yield farm, can compound an entire ecosystem.

Within the first 30 days of launch, coalition deployment plus organic capital grew Fluid’s lending TVL by over 1,100%. Top markets reached near-complete utilization. Borrowers found the markets without paid acquisition. The Cardano Foundation began independently minting USDM and deploying it into Minswap and WingRiders pools. The model works on Cardano. Every institution that joins makes it work harder.

Aligned, not custodial

The Coalition is a coordination layer. You deploy from your own treasury into non-custodial smart contracts. Coalition coordinates strategy and reporting; never holds your capital.

30-day evaluation cycles

Every 30 days, capital allocation is reviewed against on-chain data — utilization, borrower count, revenue per market. Reallocation moves money toward demand.

Public, on-chain attribution

Every coalition deployment is traceable to a known wallet. Snapshot and DeFi Pulse make every figure verifiable independent of our reporting.

Mandatory borrower incentives

Lending-side participation requires an active borrower-rewards program. Deposits that don't reach borrowers don't compound — that's table stakes.

Cardano-native, no bridge risk

USDM and fGLD are both native Cardano assets, not wrapped or bridged. No cross-chain attack surface.

Transparent reporting cadence

Weekly snapshots, monthly DeFi Pulse, quarterly partner-level review. Reporting is the deliverable — institutional partners get full visibility.

• Issuers are regulated entities. Moneta Digital and NBX (publicly listed on the Oslo Børs) operate under EU/Norwegian regulation with KYC/KYB enforced at the issuance layer.
• Audited protocol partners only. Fluid is audited; new coalition markets must clear the same bar before deployment.
• Reserve attestations. USDM reserves are attested by Moneta on a recurring cadence. Links published on /transparency.
• Full risk disclosures. Peg, smart-contract, oracle, liquidation, regulatory, custodial, and key-management risk — each documented with mitigations on /risks.
• Coalition is administrative. Not a DAO, not a token, not an investment vehicle holding capital. Each partner retains full independence over capital decisions.

Wave Financial (US institutional digital asset firm) is the Coalition’s largest founding allocator at 40,000 USDM in the pilot round. NBX (publicly listed Norwegian exchange) and Plomin Legacy Fund anchor the founding four. BlockSign joined March 30 with multi-asset deployment across USDM, fGLD, and ADA.
