Whiteheart

Whiteheart1 is an on-chain hedging protocol built on top of the Hegic protocol. The core part of the hedging protocol is a new financial primitive called hedge contract. Hedge contract is a system of Ethereum smart contracts that can automatically conduct the process of hedging users' holdings' market value. The way a hedge contract works is it can automatically buy an at-the-money (ATM) put option contract on the user's behalf each time the user acquires an asset on a decentralized exchange (DEX). A put option is a right but not an obligation to sell an asset at a fixed price during a certain period of time. Hedging with at-the-money (ATM) put options means that the strike price of an option at the moment of protecting an asset's value will be equal to the market price of the asset with a potential <1% spread. Hedge contracts utilize liquidity which is pooled by liquidity providers on non-custodial smart contracts. Liquidity providers act as the value downside insurance
sellers who are pooling their funds on smart contracts for sharing the potential fees on selling this type of insurance represented as ATM put options. Liquidity providers earn fees paid by hedge contracts users in case the value of assets will not decrease.
