It is a self-serve platform for creating financial products, their related workflows and data integrations.

There’s still a bunch to do, and we’re posting here for feedback on usability, how well this can support (and accelerate) engineering flows, and any other thoughts people have!

# What does it do? We offer a simple Python language interface onto our contract engine, a robust managed ledger and orchestration over existing systems.

Applications include creation and operation of borrowing base structures and asset allocations, variable interest rate and FX products, complex waterfalls, and more.

# How to get started on the API: - New users can signup without an api key (email verification is required) - Login without an api key, to get a bearer token - Create an organisation using a bearer token or existing API key (the creating user will be automatically added into the organization) - API keys can be created within an organization, using a bearer token or existing API key

# Why does this matter? Today, many institutional financial transactions are run on technology which does a few things well, but lacks the robust, scaled approach that is common in consumer or public markets.

Where there are no systems, Excel fills the gaps. A lot of human support (and cost) is needed as volumes increase or new structures are needed. With most vendors, complex changes or migrations are required to support new structures.

Instead: Imagine having a deal environment with the expressiveness of MS Excel, with the power and scale of AWS and the python ecosystem behind it.

# What makes Luna different Financial Institutions can execute technology change significantly faster using Luna, particularly for new or novel deal ideas.

No more changes across the whole stack: just write a Luna contract with any required integrations into existing systems, and focus on the user experience you want to take to market.

If you can write basic Python, you can create a financial instrument with Luna.

Luna contracts can ingest data from any source, and publish data to any source (e.g. loan management systems, ERP, email, Slack, anything really).

Let us know what you think - we’re excited to get feedback! #teamLuna
