The problem

Your margins are impacted by things you cannot control.

Every industry has its own set of exposures. Most are unhedged.

Agriculture

Drought cuts yields. Late frost sets harvest back. Commodity input prices spike without warning. Your revenue depends on conditions no operational efficiency can fix.

Construction

Diesel runs through every project budget. Material costs follow energy markets. A cold winter adds weeks to schedules and cost to every line item.

Renewables & Energy

Generation output varies with weather. Gas purchase obligations move against spot markets. Conventional derivatives mean basis risk, margin calls, and counterparty complexity.

Transportation & Logistics

Fuel is your largest variable cost. Weather disrupts routes and adds time to every delivery. Neither is predictable, and both compress margin directly.

Manufacturing

Natural gas, power, and commodity inputs all move against you at the same time. Energy-intensive production means your cost structure is hostage to markets you do not control.

There is now a regulated peer-to-peer market where you can hedge that exposure. Directly. At the index level. Without an insurance company in the way.

Assess your exposure
How it works

Three steps. No adjuster. No insurance company.

Peer-to-peer structure means institutional capital takes the other side of your contract. The oracle settles between you automatically.

1
You describe your exposure.
Tell us what impacts your margins — weather, energy, commodities. Our AI maps it to a public index that tracks that variable with precision.
2
You set your threshold.
Choose the level at which the movement becomes commercially painful. If the index crosses that level during your contract period, you get paid. If it does not, the contract expires with no further obligation.
3
The peer-to-peer oracle settles.
No adjuster. No claims process. No insurance company. An institutional capital provider took the other side. The oracle reads the public index. If your threshold was crossed, 48-hour cash settlement follows automatically.
Model Risk PrincipleSettlement is automatic against the public index. No actuarial discretion. No claims adjustment. This is not insurance — it is a peer-to-peer regulated financial instrument, CFTC-registered and index-settled.

Step 1 of 5 — Origination
What type of business do you operate, and what is your primary exposure concern?
We run a grain elevator in Illinois — our main issue is natural gas cost for drying corn.
Got it. I'll map that to the NYMEX Henry Hub Natural Gas index. What threshold price per MMBtu would create a meaningful margin impact?

Why Rialta

The only CFTC-regulated exchange purpose-built for commercial risk.

CFTC-regulated exchange

Rialta is a registered Swap Execution Facility — every contract executes under US federal regulation. Your counterparty is an institutional capital provider with 100% collateral posted.

Peer-to-peer structure

No insurance company. No bank bearing risk. You set the terms, institutional capital takes the other side, the oracle settles between you. Your payout is not subject to anyone's discretion.

Automatic settlement

The oracle monitors your index in real time. If your threshold is crossed, settlement initiates without any action from you. No adjuster visits. No documentation burden. 48-hour payout.

AI-structured contracts

Describe your exposure in plain language. The AI matches it to the right index, structures the contract terms, and produces a soft quote — typically in under five minutes.

Worked example

See how a contract works in practice.

Real scenario. Real index. Two possible outcomes — both clearly defined at execution.

A grain elevator in Illinois. Winter 2024.

Natural gas costs run through every bushel of corn dried in the fall. When NYMEX Henry Hub spot prices spike above $4.50/MMBtu, drying costs compress the margin on every ton through the elevator.

Notional / Contract fee
$800,000 $44,000
Outcome — Trigger met

NYMEX closed above $4.50/MMBtu on 19 trading days. Oracle confirmed trigger on December 14. $800,000 settled to the operator's account within 48 hours.

The institutional counterparty funded the payout from posted collateral — no action required from the operator.

Outcome — Trigger not met

NYMEX closed above $4.50/MMBtu on 9 trading days. Contract expired. The operator paid $44,000 — the cost of protection for a risk that did not materialize this season.

The institutional counterparty retained the contract fee. Both parties knew the terms at execution.

See what your exposure looks like.

The Exposure Assessment takes about three minutes. You describe your business and the variables that impact your margins. We map them to the right indices and show you what a peer-to-peer hedging structure could look like.
