# Welcome to Gas Bet Protocol Gas Bet is building an infrastructure layer for on-chain financial derivatives. By pioneering Synthetic Blockspace to establish the gold standard for institutional gas hedging, we're creating tools and infrastructure that empower both institutions and individual users. Our mission is to make sophisticated hedging strategies accessible to everyone, aiming to unlock the full potential of on-chain derivatives. We remove the complexity of physically delivering blockspace and replicate it synthetically—focusing solely on the price. This approach enables the creation of a versatile derivatives market that caters to a diverse range of users: * DeFi projects, * smart wallets, * rollups, * on-chain users who want to trade gas fees like sports bets, * and other providers impacted by gas prices who need to optimize their operational costs. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
