Conclusion

We have described a novel smart contract based derivative that mitigates volatility using the base layer of Bitcoin Cash without exchanging for other assets or tokens. Any given contract fundamentally involves only Hedge, Short and Oracle, and is completely independent from other contracts. AnyHedge can mitigate volatility for any asset as long as the three parties are present, and setups can be upgraded or patched per transaction without central coordination. Exchanges and other services can provide convenience, liquidity and other benefits but are not strictly necessary. AnyHedge takes advantage of the most fundamental qualities of Bitcoin Cash and we expect usage to increase overall utility.
