Wavestar Market · Hosted payload exchange
Book a hosted payload slot in days, not months.
Bus operators list surplus mass, power, pointing, and duration under standardised SLAs. Payload operators discover, compare, price-match, and contract in one surface. The clearing leg runs through ORCH; the delivery attestation runs through Attest.

Cleared novation turns your bilateral receivable into a CCP claim. Treasury's balance-sheet treatment improves.
