Remove unsecured windows by tying position creation and margin transfer to a single, deterministic outcome—either all legs settle together, or none do.

Codify eligibility, haircuts, and substitutions so collateral moves at the speed of price with auditability and selective disclosure.
-
Track time from trade to claim, fail rates, collateral velocity, and funding drag—if metrics move, spreads tighten and depth improves.
-
Test and scale on a permissioned network that already carries tokenized collateral workflows with deterministic execution and privacy.
