What are Hegic (HEGIC)’s key features and how does it work?

The Hegic platform uses hedge contracts. There are two main types of users who are part of the hedge contract process. These are buyers of hedge contracts and writers of hedge contracts. Contract holders, or buyers, are given the right to buy and sell an asset at a predetermined price (strike price), and obligate contract writers, or sellers, to buy or sell an asset during a certain time frame. As such, the Hegic model incorporates aspects from traditional finance with crypto options trading to increase its functionality.

Liquidity pools also form a key component of the Hegic Platform. These are designed especially to gather and accumulate liquidity from many liquidity providers, or writers of hedge contracts, in order to reduce potential risk and offer deep liquidity. Hegic liquidity pools are non-custodial, which means that no third party has access to funds except for the holders who have purchased the hedge contract.

Hegic’s native token is known as HEGIC, it is a utility token. It is an ERC-20 standard token that is predominantly used for distributing rewards. Users can earn HEGIC by holding the token.
