🖐️Welcome to Hedgehog Protocol

Hedgehog Protocol is building an infrastructure for on-chain native derivatives, starting with Synthetic Blockspace.

Hedgehog is building an infrastructure layer for on-chain financial derivatives. By pioneering Synthetic Blockspace to set the golden standard for institutional gas hedging, we're creating tools and infrastructure that empower institutions and end users. Our goal is to make sophisticated hedging strategies accessible to all, aiming to unlock the full potential of on-chain derivatives for everyone.

We abstract all the complexity away from the physical delivery of blockspace and replicate it synthetically — just the price. This approach enables the creation of a versatile derivatives market accessible to a wide range of users:

• DeFi projects,

• smart wallets,

• rollups,

• onchain users who want to trade gas fees like sports betting,

• and other providers affected by gas prices and need to make their operational costs better.
