Connect your wallet, Choose a protection floor and a term length, then deposit your crypto into Bumper. You will receive a composable Bumpered Asset token which represents your protected asset with the downside volatility removed.
If the market tanks below the floor, when the term expires you receive stablecoins to the value of your chosen floor. But if it goes to the moon you don’t lose out, and just claim your protected asset back.
It doesn’t matter how many times the price moves above or below the floor, all that matters is where it is when the position closes.You need to hold BUMP tokens which are bonded into the protocol whilst your position is open, and returned after it’s closed. Learn more about BUMP tokens.
Bumper’s price protection is a superior alternative to stop losses and more price efficient than Options Desks.
