## What Is Hedget (HGET)?

 
The Hedget team believes that the development of global decentralized options markets are the logical next step for DeFi platforms and lenders. With the ability to hedge against volatility in both directions, these platforms (as well as casual users) will be able to insure themselves against liquidation and insolvency. In addition, Hedget options can also be used as a straightforward trading tool to profit from price movement in the market.
 
The team has placed priority on leveraging the capabilities of several different blockchains. Hedget has an implementation developed for Binance Smart Chain, as well as a separate implementation on Ethereum. In addition, Chromia is being incorporated as a Layer 2 enhancement for the Ethereum platform.
 
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 which will govern the rules and mechanics of the platform.

The Hedget Token (HGET) is the native utility and governance token of the Hedget platform. It is issued on the Ethereum network as an ERC-20 contract and will have representation on a Chromia sidechain as well as Binance Smart Chain.

HGET serves as the governance token of the Hedget platform. The token holders can vote (directly on the blockchain or via UI https://hedget.com/proposals/) on adding new assets, default options parameters and UI improvements.

There is a Testnet platform https://hedget.com/demo/ (hosted on Chromia testnet) that users must stake HGET tokens to access.  On the demo site, users will trade with testnet tokens with no real value, but the best performing traders will be rewarded automatically by Hedget protocol with real HGET tokens upon mainnet release on the Chromia blockchain in Q1 2021.

The HGET token will fulfill several functions on the platform.  HGET tokens will need to be staked to interact with the platform, and all trading commissions on Hedget are taken in HGET tokens.  HGET is also used to prevent spamming of orders which can lead to API overloads and order book manipulation. Staking requirements will increase as the monetary value and frequency of a user's interactions increase.

In the future, the HGET token will also be used as a security measure and reputation engine when margined options are implemented. Options writers who wish to offer options without providing 1:1 collateral will need to stake HGET tokens which will be used to purchase fully collateralized options as a hedge in case of Capital insufficiency risk. This mechanism ensures end users cannot be adversely affected by the insolvency of an options writer.

As the platform is further developed, a DAO will be established and HGET tokens will be used to determine transaction fees, reserve requirements, and general functions and features of the platform. 

## Hedget Protocol Fee Structure:

* Taker fee 0.04% of underlying 
* Maker fee 0.02% of underlying
* The 0.02% difference between Taker and Maker fees will go to special Reserve which will be locked until a DAO is established, at which time the DAO will govern the use of the funds
* A settlement fee of 0.02% + ETH fees (if settled on Ethereum) will be paid by option buyer
* In the first 3-4 years this 0.02% settlement fee will be paid by the system from the liquidity mining pool, thus rewarding option writers, and reducing total fees for the option buyer



## HGET Token Circulation:

The protocol has a fixed maximum token supply of 10,000,000 HGET

1,717,170 tokens were created during the TGE and were distributed between private and public sale buyers as well as the team in accordance with the Whitepaper.

88,888 ERC20 HGET were burned on the Ethereum Mainnet and will be issues on Binance Smart Chain in January 2021

The remaining tokens will be issued over time as outlined in the Whitepaper.  The majority of these will be distributed via a Liquidity Mining Program that rewards both market makers and users of the Hedget protocol.

Frontier is a chain-agnostic decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator. The project aims to add DeFi support to several blockchains, including BandChain (BAND), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Harmony (ONE).

Frontier’s applications allow users to manage staking, DeFi positions, best-rate asset swapping, liquidity mining, and collateralized debt position (CDP) creation and monitoring.

In a nutshell, Frontier is bringing the core functions of DeFi to users, regardless of the platforms they use.

Frontier began development in April 2019, and the beta platform launched in November 2019.

Ampleforth is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency with an algorithmically adjusted circulating supply. It is designed to be the base money of the new decentralized economy, by providing an asset that cannot be diluted by supply inflation and remains decoupled to the price action of other cryptocurrencies—and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular.

With Ampleforth, token holders own a fixed fraction of the total AMPL circulating supply, rather than a fixed number of tokens. When the protocol detects that the price of AMPL is too high, it increases the circulating supply, whereas the supply is decreased if the price is too low.

This change is propagated to all Ampleforth wallets, which have their wallet balance adjusted proportionally. Irrespective of this change, AMPL holders will still retain the same percentage of the token supply.

This automatic supply adjustment process is known as a “rebase” and occurs once each day, with a positive rebase if the price goes above $1.06, and a negative rebase if it is below $0.96. The overall goal of the system is to create incentives that drive the market price of AMPL back to ~$1.

The Suterusu Protocol is a second-layer private payment infrastructure for smart contract platforms. The Suterusu Protocol uses the original and most advanced ZK-ConSnark algorithm that does not require a trusted setup. The algorithm’s proof size is significantly reduced and the proof generation and verification efficiency are greatly improved compared with similar solutions. Since no trusted setup is required, it is safe and transparent. The technical paper has been accepted by Eurocrypt 2021(https://eurocrypt.iacr.org/2021/acceptedpapers.php, https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/540). The Suterusu Protocol has been deployed on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Heco, SmartBCH (BCH sidechain), Theta, etc. We plan to deploy Suterusu protocol on the following smart contract platforms including Near, Solana, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Plasma, Matic, etc. It is also the first privacy project funded by the official Cypherpunk Guild Fund of Near. We are also applying for the Solana and Polkadot ecosystem grant. The Suterusu Protocol intends to build a private payment infrastructure for any cryptocurrency. The Suterusu project has received investment from well-known institutions such as Dialectic (a fund founded by the former Polychain partner Ryan Zurr), Fundamental Labs, FBG, Continue Capital, DeFi Alliance, and other well-known institutions.

Handshake is a decentralized permissionless system that is intended to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a system for domain name ownership.

Under Handshake, every peer is tasked with validating and managing the root DNS naming zone, with the objective of providing an alternative to current certificate authorities and naming systems.

Different participants across the internet such as social networking handles and domains rely on a centralized approach. This means the systems depend on a system of honesty — and are still prone to cyber attacks and fraud.

Handshake aims to eradicate this problem by creating a decentralized internet that relies on a peer-to-peer system.

MIR is the governance token of Mirror Protocol, a synthetic assets protocol built by Terraform Labs (TFL) on the Terra blockchain.

Mirror Protocol is decentralized from day 1, with the on-chain treasury and code changes governed by holders of the MIR token. TFL has no intention of keeping or selling MIR tokens, and there are no admin keys or special access privileges granted. The intent for this is to be a completely decentralized, community-driven project.

Mirrored assets are blockchain tokens that behave like "mirror" versions of real-world assets by reflecting the exchange prices on-chain. They give traders the price exposure to real assets while enabling fractional ownership, open access and censorship resistance as any other cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional tokens which serve to represent a real, underlying asset, mAssets are purely synthetic and only capture the price movement of the corresponding asset.

Mirrored assets provide the following advantages:

Global Accessibility: In most markets outside of Europe & North America, access to foreign equities and forex markets is highly limited. Crypto allows global accessibility without entry barriers.

Fractional Orders: In traditional finance, to execute a fractional order, multiple fractional orders are bundled together to execute a unitary transaction. The process of gathering all the orders into one requires additional waiting time. By utilizing the blockchain, orders volume is simply represented as a number on the blockchain, so there is no need for the intermediary bundling process.

Nearly-Instantaneous Order Execution: Oftentimes due to the lack of liquidity (price-time-priority order book algorithm), orders can take up to a day to fully execute. Given the fact that Mirror relies on liquidity provided by each individual asset pool, orders can be executed as fast as the blocktime of the network (~ 6 seconds).
