Hedgy, Inc. is a Bitcoin smart-contract and OTC derivatives platform that was acquired by Wyre in September 2018. Hedgy's Twitter Score is 6.4 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #147,981 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Hedgy was co-founded by Matt Slater, Warren Paul Anderson, Tim Olson, and Juan Pineda, with its origins tracing back to a Bitcoin hackathon in spring 2014. The platform built financial smart contracts directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, targeting counterparty risk in over-the-counter forward contracts. Its architecture relied on multisignature wallets for collateral management and an oracle mechanism tied to TradeBlock's XBX Index to create, enforce, and physically settle OTC forward contracts.
Hedgy participated in Boost VC's fourth accelerator cohort and went on to raise a $1.2 million seed round announced on April 30, 2015. That round drew backing from Tim Draper, Marc Benioff, and Sand Hill Angels. When Wyre announced its acquisition of Hedgy on September 8, 2018, it stated plans to incorporate Hedgy's platform technology into its own stack. Following the deal, co-founder and CEO Matt Slater moved into an advisory role at Wyre. Hedgy's account has published 126 posts and has been mentioned by 20 accounts a total of 42 times.
