The latest iteration of dHedge introduces the Guarded Open Access Transactions (GOAT) framework, which allows users to access DApps approved by its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The framework will also boost the speed with which dHedge performs new integrations with third-party protocols.
Henrik Anderrson, the co-founder of dHedge, said that the new framework combines the utility of several tools.
The first version of dHedge restricted fund managers to assets provided by the Synthetix protocol. However, the newest version removes this limitation and enables fund managers to offer services like staking, yield farming, leveraging, and short selling to investors.
In a statement issued today, the company indicated that going forward it would add more EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible protocols to the platform.
While discussing the new deployment with a media outlet, Anderrson revealed that dHedge might feature an AAVE integration in the future. He stated that the open-source non-custodial DeFi protocol would make it possible for asset managers to borrow a variety of assets for shorting. He also suggested that dHedge is targeting Optimism, Eth2, and Arbitrum for future launches of V2.
Launched in October 2020, dHedge touts itself as a one-stop location for managing investments on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to democratize access to top-investing strategies, and due to this it currently requires no minimum asset size from anyone who wants to participate as an investment manager on the platform. dHedge is backed by some of the leading names in the crypto industry such as blockchain VC firm Framework Ventures, California-based Divergence Ventures, and Singapore-based Three Arrows Capital.
