The Risk Transfer Layer for the AI Economy

Our foundational whitepaper on the financial architecture the compute economy needs. We argue that the current GPU cycle rhymes closely with previous commodity cycles — oil, electricity, semiconductors — and that the same instruments that stabilized those markets will stabilize this one.

We introduce the Forward Compute product suite, explain the index methodology that underpins it, and lay out the path from bilateral placements to a cleared, exchange-traded compute derivatives market.
