WHY NOW · WHY SOLIDUS

Two Waves.
One Company at the Intersection.

A structural disruption in financial markets. A separate disruption in how compliance operations are run. Both are creating enormous tailwinds – and Solidus is built to capture both.

WAVE 01
Finance Is Moving
Onchain
$16T projected onchain economy by 2030. Stablecoins. Tokenized securities. Prediction markets. AI-driven trading. Every new format is a new compliance surface — and none of the existing tools were built for it.
Greenfield compliance market
Legacy tools architecturally incompatible
Every new institution needs guardrails from day one

WAVE 02
The Services
Disruption
AI agents are replacing the first line of defense in every services business. For every $1 spent on compliance software, $6 are spent on compliance labor. The autopilot captures the labor budget — not just the software budget.
$274B compliance labor market
L1 triage already outsourced — vendor swap, not reorg
Software TAM: $15–22B → Labor TAM: $100B+
SOLIDUS AT THE INTERSECTION
The Compliance Autopilot for the Onchain Era.
Seven years of head start. The data no one else has. The clients that matter. A capital injection will convert our software, knowledge, brand, and distribution into an agent workforce that operates HALO — accelerating Solidus into a new growth category entirely.

COMPLIANCE OS
ACT I — THE STRUCTURAL SHIFT
CAPITAL MARKETS ARE BEING RE-ARCHITECTED

Four Tectonic Forces Are
Simultaneously Reshaping Finance

Infrastructure, participation, intelligence, and market format are all changing at once. This isn't a cycle. It's a structural rewrite of how capital markets operate – and it's compounding.

01 — INFRASTRUCTURE
Finance Is Moving Onchain
Stablecoins · Tokenized Assets · Programmable Rails

The settlement and issuance layer of finance is migrating to programmable blockchain infrastructure. Stablecoins ($305B market cap, $4T+ annual transaction volume) are already live. Tokenized assets are next – spanning securities, real estate, commodities, and any offchain asset wrapped in an onchain representation. Beyond that, entirely new instruments will be issued natively onchain for the first time, with no offchain counterpart at all. Each layer expands the compliance TAM: wrapped offchain assets bring existing obligations onto new rails; native onchain assets create net-new ones.

GENIUS Act (2025) mandated AML/TM compliance for all US stablecoin issuers. MiCA (EU), Hong Kong SFC, and other regulators mandating Trade Surveillance for digital asset service providers. BlackRock, BNYM, Franklin Templeton actively tokenizing. $16T onchain economy projected by 2030.
02 — PARTICIPATION
Retailization of Markets
$84T Wealth Transfer · Options 25%→45% · Information Parity

The largest generational wealth transfer in history is moving capital to a cohort that trades digitally, 24/7. Share of 25-year-olds with investment accounts is 6× higher than in 2015. Retail inflows reached ~$1.3B per day in 2025 — up 30%+ YoY. Pre-COVID, retail rarely exceeded 10% of equity volume. Today it regularly accounts for 20–37% of daily volume. Real-time data, social signal aggregation, and AI-assisted analysis have collapsed what was once an insurmountable information gap between retail and institutions.

Retail participation disperses order flow across venues and wallets in ways that break venue-centric surveillance.
03 — INTELLIGENCE
Agentic Finance
AI Agents as Market Participants · The Compliance Capacity Crisis

AI agents are no longer just tools – they are market participants. In our base case, they account for 15–20% of order flow by 2028. In the upside scenario, 40%+. But their share of compliance alerts is disproportionately higher: they transact at machine speed, across hundreds of venues simultaneously, 24 hours a day. The compliance event volume this generates is incompatible with human-staffed operations.

Automated trading systems can generate new orders and cancellations in sub-millisecond timeframes, reacting to real-world data, order book dynamics, and market signals faster than any human. Cancellation ratios can reach 99.99% or higher — and the line between legitimate market making and illegal spoofing or layering becomes nearly impossible to detect at scale without AI-native infrastructure. We project a 150–800× increase in total compliance-relevant events as markets move onchain and go 24/7. Compliance departments do not have the human capacity to absorb this. Agentic workflows with human oversight will become the operational norm – not a choice, but a structural necessity.
The AI agent market itself is projected to grow from ~$7–8B in 2025 to $50B+ by 2030 – a 45% CAGR. Every agent that trades requires AI-native oversight. Solomon is that infrastructure.
The talent supply is also failing: 88% of US banks added senior compliance governance roles in 2025, yet the compliance talent shortage is structural and worsening. The workforce to staff the compliance operations that modern markets require simply does not exist. Agentic compliance isn't just faster – it's the only viable path.
04 — MARKET FORMAT
New Markets, No Precedent
Prediction Markets · 24/7 Perpetuals · DEX Pools

Regulated prediction markets (DCMs) feature event-driven manipulation risks that no existing surveillance library covers. Meanwhile, hundreds of onchain DEXs and perpetual vaults allow for exposure to real assets like Brent Crude, 168 hours per week, with no consolidated tape and no closing bell.

Kalshi signed with Solidus after evaluating every incumbent. They needed surveillance built for information-based manipulation, OSINT signals, and onchain funding mechanics – nothing else could do it.
"We believe the next generation for markets and next generation for securities will be the tokenization of financial assets." — Larry Fink, CEO, BlackRock · Annual Chairman's Letter to Investors, 2026
"The move to tokenization and the onchain economy — it's the way the world will be… maybe a couple of years from now." — Paul Atkins, SEC Chairman, on US financial markets moving onchain, Fox Business News, December 2025
THESE FORCES ARE RESTRUCTURING FINANCE ACROSS ALL THREE LAYERS SIMULTANEOUSLY
⛓️
PILLAR 1 — ISSUANCE
Onchain Native Securities
Tokenized traditional assets + natively issued onchain instruments with no offchain counterpart. Two layers — both need compliance rails. Only the second expands the TAM.
Every net-new onchain asset class is a compliance TAM expansion event.
🔄
PILLAR 2 — DISTRIBUTION
24/7 Programmable Liquidity
Broker-dealers, dark pools, DEX pools, bridges, AMMs, stablecoin rails — operating 168 hours a week. Capital flows cross-product and cross-venue to the nth degree. A single position touches a spot exchange, perp vault, bridged wrapper, and lending protocol within seconds.
No legacy compliance system was built to monitor across all of them simultaneously.
🤖
PILLAR 3 — MANAGEMENT
Autonomous Vault Strategies
DeFi vaults, onchain yield strategies, and AI-driven rebalancing are replacing human fund managers. Autonomous systems are both market participants and sources of systemic risk — requiring a new compliance category.
Autonomous strategies + programmable assets + 24/7 markets = cannot be met with batch-processing legacy tools.
THE 10× COVERAGE GAP

Legacy Compliance Was Built
for a Single-Surface Market

The risk surface of markets is expanding combinatorially across every dimension at once.

THE RISK SURFACE EXPANSION FORMULA  ·  Traditional tools pull data once a day. The attack surface moves in milliseconds.

Each scheme spans multiple participants and multiple venues simultaneously — cross-product, cross-venue to the nth degree. No single-venue legacy tool can see any of them. Only a platform that holds the full picture across all cells can detect the pattern.
FRAGMENTED INFRASTRUCTURE
Same Asset, Different Price

CEXs, DEX pools, bridges, perps and OTC desks quote identical tokens with no NBBO in sight. 75+ chains, each speaking its own data dialect with no universal symbol framework. Liquidity jumps chains in seconds via wrapped tokens and bridges, breaking venue-centric surveillance models entirely.

Legacy tools were built assuming one order book. The real market has thousands of them.
ALWAYS-ON, SENTIMENT-DRIVEN
No Closing Bell

Crypto trades 24/7/365 — equities cover barely 30% of that window. Social-based retail swings can move billions in minutes, potentially outside traditional market hours. Wallet hops, mixers, Discord chatter and onchain bots all must be fused with order-book data to catch risk in real time.

168 trading hours per week. Batch-processing tools that poll daily miss the entire attack window.
PROGRAMMABLE MANIPULATION
Code-Based Assets, Code-Based Attacks

Tokens are grounded on smart contract logic — attackers can affect that code mid-trade. Cross-venue wash loops, oracle hacks, and MEV attacks fire in under 1 second — faster than legacy monitors poll. Discord-driven volatility can trigger onchain events before surveillance even ingests the signal.

The attack surface is milliseconds wide. The detection window for legacy tools is hours or days.
THE OPPORTUNITY

Economic Value Is Migrating Onchain — At Scale.
The Workforce Is Moving to Agents.

The onchain economy isn't a niche. It's becoming the dominant infrastructure for capital formation, settlement, and exchange. And as AI agents replace the first line of compliance defense, the addressable market shifts from software spend to labor spend – a 5–10× expansion of the prize. Solidus is built for both.

ACT II — THE PLATFORM
WHY SOLIDUS, WHY NOW

Seven Years Ago, We Predicted This Moment.
We've Been Building for It Ever Since.

01
Regulatory Gates Open
GENIUS Act mandated surveillance for stablecoin issuers. The CLARITY Act defines the regulatory perimeter for digital asset securities. The OCC approved new narrow-charter banks for digital asset firms – a structural shift as significant as GENIUS. ESMA MiCA live – Solidus sole provider. Every major jurisdiction – US, EU, HK, SG, UAE, Japan – codifying compliance requirements simultaneously, while consulting Solidus. Compliance is now a licensing condition.
02
TradFi Crypto Land Grab
Schwab, Fidelity, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley – all actively entering crypto now. Average deal size with TradFi clients is 5–6× larger than crypto-native. The Schwab deal closed in 6 months (vs. 18–24 for a typical TradFi SaaS sale). And every TradFi client asks the same follow-up question: "Can you do our equities too?" – a baked-in expansion opportunity that comes with every T/C deal signed.
03
New Market Formats — No Incumbents
Prediction markets, stablecoin issuers, onchain native venues, DeFi protocols – to attract institutional capital and maintain a level playing field, surveillance isn't optional. It's what separates platforms that can credibly compete for institutional flow from those that can't – and it's a licensing condition. These are greenfield wins. Kalshi evaluated every major vendor and chose Solidus. The pattern repeats: new format, one credible option.
04
Solidus Is Already the De Facto Standard
For four years, Solidus has served as the SEC's close partner for crypto and cyber enforcement. Solidus is also ESMA's sole designated provider under MiCA, covering all 30 EU NCAs. CFTC GMAC appointed. Citigroup named Solidus market leader. Schwab, Fidelity, BGC, Webull all chose us. DACOM Summit (our flagship event) is where the global compliance community meets. We didn't find product-market fit – we built the category.

In our seed deck, we wrote that TradFi would enter crypto and need this infrastructure. We spent seven years building in crypto — earning the trust of exchanges, shaping the regulation, proving the technology. Now Schwab, Fidelity, and BGC are signing. We saw the world going there.

THE ONCHAIN COMPLIANCE COLLAPSE — WHY ONLY SOLIDUS CAN SEE THE FULL PICTURE

When Markets Move Onchain, Trade Surveillance and Transaction Monitoring Become One Problem.

In traditional finance, trade surveillance and transaction monitoring are separate disciplines — different vendors, different teams, different data. That separation made sense when markets were offchain: trades happened on exchanges, money moved through banks, and the two worlds rarely intersected. When market structure moves onchain, that separation becomes architecturally impossible to maintain.

A single onchain transaction is simultaneously a trade and a fund flow. A perpetual vault position is simultaneously a market event and a financing instrument. Inter-participant transfers — funding, cashout, cross-participant flows — are simultaneously market microstructure signals and AML-relevant behavioral data. The disciplines don't just overlap. They collapse into each other.

Polymarket and HyperLiquid proved this in production. Most firms can do one or the other. NICE Actimize does transaction monitoring. Nasdaq SMARTS does trade surveillance. Neither can combine them — they were architecturally built for the offchain world where the two disciplines were separate. Solidus built natively for the onchain world where they are one. Only Solidus can surface the full picture.

THE DATA MOAT

A Super Dataset No Competitor
Can Replicate.

Solidus is trusted by 80+ enterprise clients — including the world's largest exchanges, broker-dealers, and TradFi institutions — with their most sensitive asset: the complete, unredacted record of their financial activity. No other firm on the planet holds this combination.

LAYER 01 — MARKET BEHAVIOR
Full trade and order flow
Every order, cancellation, execution, and routing decision across 80+ client venues — onchain and offchain. The most commercially sensitive dataset in capital markets, shared with Solidus because compliance requires it.
LAYER 02 — FINANCIAL FLOWS
Fiat + crypto transactional data
KYC identity records, KYT behavioral histories, and the complete fiat and crypto transaction record across every client — both rails, unified in one schema.
LAYER 03 — INVESTIGATION HISTORY
Every case, alert, and resolution
Every investigation step, workflow action, escalation decision, and SAR filing across 7+ years of production deployments. The labeled training data that makes Solomon smarter with every case closed.
LAYER 04 — EXTERNAL SIGNALS
Onchain + OSINT + sentiment fusion
75+ chain analytics, cross-venue microstructure, social sentiment, news events, and regulatory intelligence — fused into the same unified schema. No other compliance platform aggregates at this breadth.
WHY THIS WINS IN THE AI ERA
We are not a single-signal vendor. That's the moat.
SumSub sees the fiat leg. Chainalysis sees the wallet. Nasdaq SMARTS sees the trading pattern. Nobody else sees the actor. Because Solidus unifies all four layers into a single behavioral identity that persists across rails, Solomon trains on a dataset no competitor can buy, build, or replicate. The model gets smarter in a way that compounds — every new client, every new case, every new market adds signal that widens the gap.
Nasdaq SMARTS / Eventus
Trade signals only — no wallet, no fiat, no identity
Chainalysis / SumSub

AGENTIC AI — SOLOMON

Solomon Doesn't Assist Compliance.
It Does the Work.

Most AI companies sell the tool. Solomon sells the outcome. It replaces the first line of defense entirely – turning a $274B labor market into Solidus's addressable opportunity. Labor savings alone exceed ACV at most customers, creating a CFO-level buying decision independent of regulatory mandate.

3–4× ROI · under 2 month payback
Prediction Market / New Format
$350K–$1.2M saved · $150–500K ACV
2–3× ROI · under 4 month payback
The key shift: Solomon moves the buyer from CCO to CFO and COO. Labor savings alone exceed ACV at most customers — making Solidus an infrastructure investment with measurable payback, not a compliance cost. This also means Solidus is insulated from budget cuts: the ROI case is stronger when cost pressure is highest.
THE AUTOPILOT THESIS

A Software Company
Masquerading as a Services Firm.

For every $1 spent on compliance software, $6 are spent on compliance labor. Solomon changes the unit economics – not by making compliance teams more productive, but by doing the work itself. That shifts the TAM from software spend to labor spend. From $15–22B to $100B+.

YESTERDAY — COPILOT
Sell the tool.
AI makes the compliance analyst faster. Customer still needs the analyst. TAM = software budget. Captured value: 10–20%.
Race against the model. Every competitor can build a copilot.
WHERE SOLIDUS IS GOING
TODAY — AUTOPILOT
Sell the outcome.
Solomon does the compliance work. Customer buys the result, not the seat. TAM = labor budget. Captured value: 30–50%.
Every model improvement makes Solomon faster, cheaper, and harder to displace.
TOMORROW — ENDGAME
Become the department.
Solomon handles L1 → L2 → L3. From alert triage to judgment calls to regulatory filings. The compliance department runs on Solidus infrastructure.

EXPAND
Layer Solomon on top
Solomon replaces outsourced L1 alert triage. Vendor swap, not a reorg. Budget already exists. ROI immediate. ACV 3–5× on expansion.
🏛️
OPERATE
Run the compliance function
As Solomon accumulates judgment data across thousands of institutions, L2 and L3 follow. The compliance department runs on Solidus. Pricing shifts to % of labor replaced.
WHY OUTSOURCING IS THE WEDGE
L1 alert triage is already outsourced
Banks and exchanges already send their first-line compliance work to Accenture, Deloitte, and third-party KYC/AML shops. It's pure intelligence — rules-based, repetitive, high-volume. Solomon walks in as a vendor swap. No reorg required. The budget line already exists.
L2 and L3 judgment is the long-term TAM
Senior compliance officers making escalation decisions, SAR filings, regulatory responses — that's insourced judgment work today. As Solomon compounds proprietary data on what good compliance judgment looks like across thousands of cases, the frontier shifts inward. L1 today. L2 tomorrow. L3 is the endgame.
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE 01
All the right clients
Schwab, Fidelity, BGC, Kalshi, Crypto.com. The institutions whose compliance workflows generate the most valuable training data are already on HALO.
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE 02
All the right data
Every alert triaged, every case resolved, every SAR filed through Solomon trains a model on what good compliance judgment looks like. Seven years of proprietary signal. No competitor can buy this.
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE 03
All the right distribution
DACOM. CMIC. ESMA. The Trade Surveillance Academy trains the next generation of compliance professionals on Solidus's platform. The global compliance community meets on Solidus's turf — and is being trained by us. Brand, relationships, and regulatory credibility create distribution no autopilot startup can replicate from scratch.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Competitive Landscape

Every other compliance vendor is a point solution that added a workflow. Solidus built the actor model first — a unified behavioral identity that persists across trading, transactions, and onchain activity. SumSub sees the fiat leg. Chainalysis sees the wallet. Nobody else sees the actor.

WHAT DRIVES IT — 5 LEVERS
LEVER 01
NRR expansion on existing logos
Our T/C and T/T clients — Schwab, Fidelity, BGC — represent wallets that are 10× deeper than what we currently bill. We're on one product line, one asset class, often one region. The full potential of a single Schwab relationship dwarfs our current ACV.
Est. contribution: +$20–25M ARR
LEVER 02
UCM + Solomon — a dedicated product unit
A dedicated General Manager leads Case Management and Solomon as a bundled product line into every major financial institution globally. Every firm that does compliance has a case management problem. Solomon + UCM is the answer.
Est. contribution: +$20–25M ARR
LEVER 03
Geographic expansion
We won ESMA and have 1 AE covering all of Europe. We have a strong team in Asia-Pacific that has proven itself. Capital enables additional headcount, lead generation, and entry into new markets and regions.
Est. contribution: +$15–20M ARR
LEVER 04
Digital asset market growth — macro tailwind
Every new licensed entity entering digital assets needs surveillance from day one. As tokenization, stablecoins, and onchain trading expand, the total number of firms requiring compliance infrastructure grows — independent of our sales motion. The market compounds our pipeline.
Est. contribution: +$10–15M ARR
LEVER 05
Prediction markets — new category, no incumbent
Kalshi holds 90%+ of US FCM market share and is an existing Solidus client. Every new FCM and DCM registrant is legally required to implement surveillance. Additionally, existing FCMs routing order flow to Kalshi need compliant surveillance for that flow — expanding the addressable population well beyond net-new registrants.
Est. contribution: +$15–20M ARR
$25M base + five levers = $95–100M by 2028. And as a macro tailwind beneath all five — digital asset markets are growing, regulatory mandates are expanding, and every new asset class, venue, and jurisdiction that comes online makes the compliance surface larger. The market itself compounds our opportunity.
A GENERATIONAL COMPANY IN THE MAKING

Not a RegTech Company.
The Integrity Infrastructure
of the Next Capital Market.

The most durable infrastructure companies don't serve markets – they become the rail every participant depends on. Visa owns the payment integrity layer. SWIFT owns the messaging layer. Solidus is positioned to own the compliance and integrity layer for the next generation of global capital markets – onchain and off, TradFi and DeFi, CEX and DEX, today and what comes next.

01
THE BEACHHEAD — WINNING NOW
Compliance Software
for Digital Markets
~$2B winnable TAM
7,970 firms with active compliance mandates today — exchanges, broker-dealers, asset managers, stablecoin issuers, regulators. This is the market Solidus is already winning. 82 logos, 98% GRR, 112% NRR. The beachhead is largely captured.
Already won: Schwab, Fidelity, Crypto.com, Kalshi, ESMA, BGC, Circle. Full global population of BDs + AMs + exchanges = $8–10B current market.
02
THE INFRASTRUCTURE PRIZE — 5-YEAR HORIZON
The Integrity Layer of
Onchain Capital Markets
$15–55B structural opportunity
As finance migrates onchain — stablecoins, tokenized securities, native onchain issuance, prediction markets, DeFi — every participant needs compliance infrastructure. This isn't a feature. It's the integrity rail of the next financial system. Every institution operating in digital or hybrid markets is a potential customer. That's every financial institution on earth.
$305B stablecoin market cap today → $750B–$1T by 2028. $16T onchain economy by 2030. Native onchain issuance means net-new TAM events with no legacy compliance infrastructure in place.
03
THE AGENTIC OS — THE SECOND COMPANY INSIDE SOLIDUS
The Compliance Operating System
of Global Financial Services
$50–100B+ long-run prize
Once Solomon is the workflow layer, Solidus owns the data, the audit trail, the regulatory relationship, and the institutional memory of every compliance event across the firm. That's a fundamentally different business — not compliance software, but the OS through which every compliance decision flows. ServiceNow is worth $200B+ owning IT workflows. Workday $60B+ owning HR. Compliance workflows at financial institutions are more mission-critical than either.
$274B compliance spend today → $500B+ by 2028 at 15–20%/yr CAGR. Software that owns the workflow captures 30–50% of the labor it replaces — not the 10–20% generic SaaS capture rate.

Total Bottom-Up — Winnable TAM

$268K avg
~$2.0B
The $2.0B is the conservative floor — firms with active compliance mandates today. The full addressable population puts the current market at $8–10B. Once the activity multiplier compounds on top (more markets, more asset classes, more venues, 168hr trading weeks), the base case expands to $15–22B. The infrastructure thesis is a separate, larger frame entirely.
METHOD 1 — BOTTOM LINE
$15–22B
Current market TAM · bottom-up unit economics × activity multiplier
WHY THE MARKET EXPANDS — THE ACTIVITY MULTIPLIER
USERS
5–10×
Today: institutions only
2030: + retail cohort + AI agents
AI agents transact 24/7 and don't file compliance reports. Each requires autonomous surveillance to match.
MARKETS
10–20×
Today: ~50 major venues
2030: 500+ DEXs / pools / prediction
Cross-venue interaction pairs grow combinatorially. Each new venue squares, not adds, potential manipulation surfaces.
ASSETS
3–8×
Today: equities, FI, crypto
2030: + native onchain issuance
Net-new assets require net-new typologies. No legacy library covers tokenized bonds or event contracts.
VELOCITY
4–5×
Today: 6.5 hrs/day trading
2030: 24/7/365 algorithmic
168 vs. ~33 trading hours per week. The compliance obligation doesn't sleep. Neither does HALO.
A conservative 150–800× increase in compliance events drives a market already $8–10B today to $15–22B in the base case — and $35–55B if everything goes our way. Two forces compound: markets expand in absolute size AND get more complex.
METHOD 2 — THE AGENTIC REPLACEMENT MODEL · THIS IS WHERE IT GETS LARGE
Solomon doesn't just improve compliance workflows – it replaces the first line of defense entirely. When software eliminates headcount rather than making it more efficient, the software capture rate isn't 10–20%. It's 30–50%. That's a fundamentally different equation.

3
L1 triage + documentation + reporting + case routing — the full Solomon automation surface
60–70% of labor
Not just triage — includes closing summaries, regulatory filing drafts, case routing, model tuning
4
Automatable labor pool — what Solomon can replace or eliminate entirely
~$100–120B/yr
$274B × 60% labor × 65% automatable. Growing to $175–200B by 2028E.
5
Software capture rate — headcount replacement commands 30–50%, not the 10–20% generic SaaS rule
30–50%
When software eliminates jobs vs. augmenting them, the economics shift fundamentally. Workday, ServiceNow precedent.
6
Implied software TAM from agentic replacement alone — today's base, before compliance spend growth
$30–60B
$100–120B automatable pool × 30–50% capture. On 2028E base: $52–100B.
THE PER-CUSTOMER MATH CONFIRMS IT
Mid-Size Crypto Exchange
20 analysts · $100K fully-loaded
$2M/yr L1 labor cost
Solomon eliminates 12–15 roles
$1.2–1.5M annual savings
At 30% capture → $360–450K ACV
Already above our base ACV assumption. The product's value creation per customer implies a larger TAM than our conservative model.
TradFi Bank (Schwab tier)
60–100 analysts · $120K fully-loaded
$7.2–12M/yr L1 labor cost
Solomon eliminates 35–60 roles
$4.2–7.2M annual savings
At 30% capture → $1.25–2.2M ACV
This is the Schwab playbook. TS at $970K → add Solomon → total ACV approaches $2M+. And they asked us to do equities too.
Global Systemically Important Bank
500–2,000 analysts · $130K fully-loaded
$65–260M/yr compliance labor
Solomon automates 50–65% of L1
$32–169M annual savings
At 25% capture → $8–42M ACV
One G-SIB is a category-defining deal. There are ~30 G-SIBs globally. This is the infrastructure endgame.
THREE METHODS · ONE CONCLUSION · THE INFRASTRUCTURE THESIS ABOVE ALL
Bottom-Up Unit Economics
$15–22B
# firms × ACV × activity multiplier
CONVERGE
Both methods independently arrive at the same order of magnitude. The infrastructure thesis is a third, larger frame on top.
Agentic Replacement Model
$30–60B
$274B spend → automatable labor → 30–50% capture
Services Disruption TAM
$49–82B
$165B automatable labor × 30–50% autopilot capture
The convergence validates the opportunity. The infrastructure thesis – Solidus as the integrity rail of the next capital market – is the frame that makes this a generational company. The compliance obligation doesn't go away as markets evolve. It gets bigger, more complex, and more valuable to whoever owns the infrastructure. Solidus is building that infrastructure.
METHOD 3 — THE SERVICES DISRUPTION · THE REAL PRIZE
The TAM isn't software spend, it's labor spend. When Solomon replaces headcount rather than augmenting it, the capture rate shifts from SaaS (10–20%) to autopilot (30–50%). The market instantly becomes 5–10× larger.
STEP 1
$274B
Global financial crime compliance spend. Growing 15–20%/yr driven by exactly the forces Solidus serves.
STEP 2
~$165B
Automatable L1/L2 intelligence labor (60% of total). Alert triage, case management, report generation — the rules are complex but they are rules.
STEP 3 — SOLOMON'S TAM
$49–82B
At 30–50% autopilot capture rate. This is the labor TAM — 3–4× larger than the software TAM, and it grows as onchain markets multiply the event volume.
THE NON-LINEAR INFLECTION — SOFTWARE ONLY vs. AUTOPILOT PRICING
When Solomon shifts from tool to workforce, the same logo base generates 3–5× more revenue. The kink happens in 2027–28.
$0 $100M $200M $300M $400M $580M 2024A 2025A 2026E 2027E 2028E 2029E 2030E $170M $580M
Software only
Autopilot scenario
The non-linear moment: For every $1 of software ACV, there is $6 of labor spend in the same customer. When Solomon shifts from copilot (tool pricing) to autopilot (outcome pricing), the same customer base generates 3–5× more revenue — without adding a single new logo. That's where the growth curve bends.
SCENARIO ANALYSIS — CONSERVATIVE TO AUTOPILOT
Four scenarios from software-only floor to autopilot ceiling. The first three are built from the same bottom-up model. The fourth – Autopilot – reflects the Services Disruption TAM when Solomon shifts from tool to workforce.

OUR STORY

Goldman Sachs Roots.
Crypto-Native Architecture. Built for Both.

In 2018, as Goldman's trading floor began examining crypto, our founders noticed a structural gap: the SEC kept rejecting Bitcoin ETF applications due to insufficient surveillance. The existing tools were built for centralized, consolidated TradFi — not the fragmented, 24/7, multi-chain reality of digital assets. So we left Goldman to build what didn't exist. Eight years later, we've shaped the regulation, trained the compliance community, and are now the de facto category winner.
