View ChartHedget is a decentralized, non-custodial cryptocurrency options protocol that launched in September 2020. The platform is designed to bring options trading to DeFi, allowing users to hedge against volatility in both directions and protect themselves against liquidation and insolvency. Beyond hedging, Hedget options can also be used as a straightforward trading tool to profit from market price movement. The protocol was built with multi-chain capability in mind: it has a dedicated implementation on Binance Smart Chain alongside its Ethereum implementation, and Chromia is being incorporated as a Layer 2 enhancement for the Ethereum platform. The HGET token is issued as an ERC-20 contract on Ethereum and will also have representation on a Chromia sidechain and Binance Smart Chain. Total supply is generally reported at 1.75 million HGET, with a maximum supply of 10 million HGET. The project completed its token generation event in September 2020 and has since progressed toward its planned mainnet release on the Chromia blockchain.
No founder or core team member names are provided in the available materials. What is known is that Hedget attracted backing from a long list of strategic investors and partners, including Chromia, FTX/Alameda Research, Orion Protocol, NGC Ventures and FBG Capital. The project raised capital across multiple rounds: a Seed Round backed by FBG Capital, a Strategic Round backed by Alameda Research, an IEO on FTX, and a public sale. The long-term vision of the Hedget foundation is to provide development and stewardship of the platform over the next several years, eventually establishing a DAO that will govern the rules and mechanics of the platform.
Hedget operates as a decentralized and non-custodial options protocol, meaning users interact with the platform without surrendering custody of their assets. The protocol leverages multiple blockchains: a dedicated implementation on Binance Smart Chain, a separate implementation on Ethereum, and Chromia being incorporated as a Layer 2 enhancement for Ethereum. The HGET token is issued on Ethereum as an ERC-20 contract and will have representation on a Chromia sidechain as well as Binance Smart Chain. To interact with the platform, users must stake HGET tokens. A testnet platform is hosted on the Chromia testnet, where users trade with testnet tokens that carry no real value; the best-performing traders are rewarded automatically by the Hedget protocol with real HGET tokens upon mainnet release on the Chromia blockchain. All trading commissions on Hedget are taken in HGET tokens, and the token is also used to prevent spamming. Governance votes can be cast directly on the blockchain or through the proposals interface, covering decisions such as adding new assets, default options parameters and UI improvements.
Hedget's core value proposition rests on bringing decentralized options markets to DeFi. The team believes that the development of global decentralized options markets is the logical next step for DeFi platforms and lenders, since the ability to hedge against volatility in both directions lets these platforms and casual users insure themselves against liquidation and insolvency. Hedget options can also serve as a straightforward trading tool to profit from price movement. The protocol's multi-chain strategy is a distinguishing feature: rather than committing to a single network, Hedget has implementations on both Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, with Chromia being incorporated as a Layer 2 enhancement for Ethereum. The governance model adds another layer of value, with HGET holders empowered to vote on platform rules and mechanics, and a long-term plan to establish a DAO. Backing from established names in the crypto investment space, including Chromia, FTX/Alameda Research, Orion Protocol, NGC Ventures and FBG Capital, further supports the project's positioning.
HGET is the native utility and governance token of the Hedget platform. Its primary functions include:
In addition to these protocol-level functions, HGET is the asset through which the platform's governance and economic activity flow, aligning token holders with the long-term development of the options protocol.
The Hedget ecosystem is built around a decentralized, non-custodial options protocol with a multi-chain footprint. Hedget has an implementation developed for Binance Smart Chain as well as a separate implementation on Ethereum, while Chromia is being incorporated as a Layer 2 enhancement for the Ethereum platform. The token will also have representation on a Chromia sidechain as well as Binance Smart Chain. A testnet platform hosted on the Chromia testnet allows users to trade with testnet tokens, with the best performers rewarded in real HGET upon mainnet release on the Chromia blockchain. A governance proposals interface supports token-holder voting, and a DApp trade interface provides the trading front end. The project's strategic investor and partner network includes Chromia, FTX/Alameda Research, Orion Protocol, NGC Ventures and FBG Capital. The long-term vision of the Hedget foundation is to steward the platform over the next several years and eventually establish a DAO to govern its rules and mechanics.
Hedget is not a mineable proof-of-work cryptocurrency. HGET is an ERC-20 token issued on the Ethereum network, so there is no mining process for acquiring it. Instead, participation in the Hedget ecosystem centers on staking: HGET tokens must be staked in order to interact with the platform. Trading commissions on Hedget are taken in HGET tokens, and the token is used to prevent spamming. For users who want to engage with the protocol before mainnet, the testnet platform hosted on the Chromia testnet allows trading with testnet tokens that have no real value, and the best-performing traders are rewarded automatically by the Hedget protocol with real HGET tokens upon mainnet release on the Chromia blockchain. Those looking to acquire HGET generally do so through supported wallets and trading venues rather than through mining.
Because HGET is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, standard self-custody practices apply. Store your HGET in a wallet that supports the token, such as Bitcoin.com Wallet, MetaMask, Rabby, MyEtherWallet or Trust Wallet. Always safeguard your seed phrase and private keys offline, and never share them with anyone. Verify the official contract address before interacting with any token or platform, and use the official Hedget website and proposals interface for governance and platform activity. Since HGET must be staked to interact with the platform, be cautious when approving contracts and review permissions carefully. Keep your wallet software up to date, and consider using hardware-backed or otherwise hardened wallet setups for larger holdings. As with all cryptocurrency investments, monitor market performance and be aware of the associated risks, since the world of cryptocurrencies is full of uncertainties and thorough research and preparation are essential.
