Bumper Price (BUMP)

What is Bumper?

Bumper is a DeFi price protection protocol built on Ethereum, created by INDX and Block8, the company that designed and delivered Haven (which independently evolved into Synthetix). Bumper protects the price of crypto assets (ETH at launch) by providing a decentralised software facility for ‘Takers’ of protection to operate diametrically to ‘Makers’ of liquidity. Protected positions incur a floating daily premium, nominally 3% p.a, that is used to incentivise stablecoin depositors into a risk-free liquidity Reserve.
