Smart Contract Systems form the basis of your business-critical logic and data.

They handle valuable assets on behalf of you and your customers, and allow you to operate effectively in an increasingly global world.

The Ethereum Network opens your business platform to a global, permissionless marketplace, but it also places your software in one of the most challenging environments that has ever been created.

Smart Contract Systems for global trade on the Ethereum Network must be developed to the highest quality possible to make sure your business can survive this hostile environment.

Our mission at SecurEth is to guide software developers in the Ethereum Community towards building Smart Contract Systems that adhere to the highest quality in design and verification, to ensure that we solve problems before they happen so we can build in world-class security for the world of digital assets on Ethereum.

Short sells allow investors to profit on price decreases, and can be used for speculation or to hedge existing positions;

Options can be used to hedge positions, manage volatility, increase leverage, and more.

dYdX is fully trustless, so you’ll never need to trust your coins to an exchange or anyone else. dYdX utilizes the 0x Protocol for decentralized exchange functionality, as well as its own fully collateralized peer-to-peer lending protocol. dYdX uses off-chain order books with on-chain settlement to enable efficient markets. Using 0x orders for token exchange allows dYdX derivatives to use existing 0x buy/sell liquidity.
