BarnBridge is a decentralised finance (DeFi) project that was launched in 2020, aiming to provide sophisticated risk management solutions across DeFi platforms. It operates as a protocol for tokenizing risks, allowing users to hedge against the volatility of cryptocurrency markets. By leveraging smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, BarnBridge introduces the concept of tradable hedges, where users can break down pooled cryptocurrency risks into smaller, more manageable pieces. The protocol offers different products such as SMART Yield and SMART Alpha, which allow investors to select specific tranches based on risk and reward preferences. BarnBridge's innovative approach provides users with greater control over their exposure to market fluctuations, thereby democratizing access to sophisticated financial tools traditionally available only to large financial institutions.
