Hegic (HEGIC) is the native token of a decentralized protocol for trading options — calls and puts — directly on the blockchain, without brokers or intermediaries. The protocol runs on Ethereum (and its Arbitrum network) as a set of smart contracts that pool liquidity and settle every trade automatically. HEGIC itself is a standard ERC-20 token used for staking and governance, with a hard cap of 1,077,684,725 coins that can never be exceeded.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hegic, and how is it different from a regular exchange?
Hegic lets anyone buy and sell options on crypto through smart contracts, with no company, KYC, or order book in the middle. Instead of matching traders one-to-one, it pools liquidity from many providers and prices options automatically. Everything — premiums, strikes, payouts — is settled on-chain.
How does the technology work, and what consensus does Hegic use?
Hegic isn't its own blockchain — it's a collection of smart contracts deployed on Ethereum and Arbitrum, so it inherits Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus for security. When you buy an option, the contract locks the terms and pays out automatically at expiry based on price data. Liquidity providers back these options with pooled capital and collect the premiums in return.
How is HEGIC's emission and supply structured?
HEGIC has a fixed hard cap of 1,077,684,725 coins, meaning the total supply can never grow beyond that number. Most tokens entered circulation through liquidity mining and staking incentives rather than a sale to early investors. With the maximum locked in, there's no built-in mechanism for endless new issuance.
How do I store and use HEGIC?
As an ERC-20 token, HEGIC fits in any Ethereum-compatible wallet — MetaMask or Trust Wallet for everyday use, or a hardware wallet like Ledger for safer long-term storage. Its main on-chain use is staking in the protocol, which earns holders a share of the fees Hegic collects from options trading. Otherwise it can simply be sent, held, or traded like any other token.
