Frequently asked questions about Hedge GPU price risk
What exactly is a price floor?
A cash-settled put option on a GPU compute reference index. You pay a premium upfront; if the monthly index average falls below your floor, you receive the difference on your covered volume.
Who is this for?
Teams carrying long GPU commitments: data centers, GPU marketplaces, inference platforms, and AI companies inside multi-year leases.
Who can enter these contracts?
You must qualify as an Eligible Contract Participant as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Does this touch my existing lease or provider?
No. It is a standalone cash-settled contract. Nothing changes about how you buy or run compute.
