Risk & capital formation in the age of agentic finance

The missing layer of the agent stack: where agents underwrite, price, and transfer risk.

Agents can create and amplify risk. They cannot manage or transfer risk.

Risk customization, not risk mitigation

Same vault token. Three different risk shapes.

Shape A

Protect against a >3% NAV drop

Swap vault token for stablecoin at $0.97/$ — i.e. downside protection below a 3% loss

$$$

Shape B

On-demand exit liquidity

Swap vault token for stablecoins at NAV, anytime

Shape C

Range-bound coverage on the first 10% of loss

Costs up to $0.10/$

Why this is structurally agent-shaped work

Dimension Human / Algorithmic Agentic

Speed Weeks to clear a bespoke trade Milliseconds · agents negotiate continuously

Granularity Fixed menu of standard products N pools per asset · tuned to each buyer

Cost to create a new market Fixed overhead per market · scarce Marginal cost ≈ 0 · scales with software

N pools per asset. Not one. That's the structural shift.

Cork the rails for risk in an agentic world

One primitive. Two tokens. N configs.

Collateral e.g. sUSDS

Cork Pool epoch · oracle · atomic

cPT Underwriting position · LP holds · earns yield

cST Policy · buyer holds · exercise on trigger

Live on Ethereum mainnet · Audits: Certora + ChainSecurity · Monitoring: Hypernative

Backed by

Three agentic layers on top of one primitive

Agentic buyer

Agentic trading & underwriting between vaults

Tranched cPT portfolios · structured products · reinsurance-style secondary risk transfer

Agentic primary underwriting

Capital priced into freshly-created markets · agents post limit orders · no human in the loop

Agentic market creation

N pools per asset · marginal cost ≈ 0 · cold-start solved

Cork primitive cST / cPT

Cork is agent-native by design

Not retrofitted for agents. Designed for them.
