ContactProject description
Bumper is an algorithmic money market protocol that offers price protection for cryptocurrencies, i.e. put options. It is built on the Ethereum blockchain platform and brings together makers and takers of the financial product: 1) Takers can buy price protection 2) Makers provide the liquidity and pay in case prices decrease. The protocol pools takers and makers. Swiss Economics' Center for Cryptoeconomics (cryptecon) was asked to support Bumper in finding the right parameters for their protocol.
