A superior alternative for crypto options traders

Crypto is volatile, and so the best protection is not an option.

Traditional hedging tools, such as options, are complex, inflexible, expensive and ill-suited for blockchain implementation. Bumper leverages the power of DeFi to make risk management easier, cheaper and more flexible than ever.

Bumper has been designed as a simpler, more cost-efficient and accessible risk market, available to everyone without the need to provide personal details or undergo KYC.

How Bumper Works

Bumper is a two sided peer-to-pool risk market which offers effective defense to protection takers who want to guard their assets from price drops.

Protect with confidence

With Bumper, you simply choose a price floor (similar to a strike price) for your crypto assets and a protection term (like an expiry date). If the market crashes, your asset's value will never fall below this floor. However, if the market surges, your asset's value rises with it.
