Subscription

Institutional protocol research, on annual subscription.

One independent report per protocol, written once and read across your firm. An annual subscription gives your team the full Hedgen library plus quarterly updates, on the DeFi and RWA protocols allocators actually hold.

Independent by policy · Per firm, never per seat · Written by a practitioner

The gap

Between the hype and the code, there's a missing layer.

Your firm has exposure to RWA or on-chain credit, or a thesis you want to act on. You read the whitepaper, check the dashboards, talk to the founders, but you have no in-house team to technically diligence the protocol.

And who analyzes the protocol as a business?

Revenue sustainability. Tokenomics under stress. Governance concentration risk. Competitive dynamics. Regulatory exposure. The kind of structured analysis that would be standard for any equity investment, but barely exists for DeFi protocols. And it's written by a practitioner active in crypto since 2016, not a TradFi analyst who discovered the space last cycle.

That's the gap Hedgen fills.

What's inside a report

Five dimensions. Every protocol, every report.

1

Market positioning & competitive landscape

Where the protocol sits in its market. Who the real competitors are. What defensible advantages exist, and which ones are narratives.

2

Business model & tokenomics sustainability

How the protocol generates revenue. Whether the token economics hold under realistic conditions. Emission schedules, unlock impacts, incentive alignment.

3

Team, governance & operational risk

Who runs the protocol. How decisions get made. Key-person dependencies. Decentralization reality vs. claims.

4

Regulatory risk mapping

Which jurisdictions matter. Where the regulatory exposure sits. Structural constraints and assumptions. This is analytical risk mapping, not legal advice.

5

Scenario framing & risk matrix

Two to three plausible scenarios with key variables identified. Trade-offs mapped. What would need to be true for each outcome. 90-day and 180-day considerations.

~6-7 week cadenceQuarterly updates on published stock, from 2027
  • The full report library. Every published report, available firm-wide. Starting with Ondo Finance, in production now; Maple and Ethena next, on a six-to-seven-week cadence.
  • Executive summaries. A one-page overview of each report, shareable with stakeholders who won't read the full analysis.
  • Quarterly updates. From 2027, every published report is refreshed each quarter: governance, treasury, unlocks, and regulatory developments tracked across the entire stock.
  • A firm-wide license. One annual subscription covers your whole firm, every seat, every desk. Licensed per firm, never per seat.

One license, the whole firm

Hedgen: per firm

One license. Every seat reads the same research.

How it works

From first call to firm-wide access.

101

Intro call (30 min)

We understand your context: your exposure or thesis, which protocols matter, and where your team lacks in-house technical DD. No pitch, just clarity on whether a subscription fits.

202

Subscribe firm-wide

Choose an annual, per-firm license. The Founding rate, $9,000/year, locked for life, is open to the first ten firms, then pricing moves to standard.

303

Access the library

Your whole firm gets every published report, new reports as they ship, and quarterly updates on the entire published stock from 2027.

Independence & transparency

What Hedgen research does NOT include

  • Code audits or smart contract security reviews
  • Legal opinions or regulatory validation
  • Certified financial models or valuations
  • Investment recommendations, buy/sell signals, or portfolio guidance
  • Sell-side, advisory, or consulting work for the protocols we cover

Hedgen reports are independent analytical research. Independence is the point: no protocol we cover pays us, and we do no sell-side or advisory work for protocols. The research informs your team's evaluation; it doesn't replace independent judgment or professional advice.

Quarterly updates

A subscription keeps the whole library current.

A report isn't a one-time snapshot. From 2027, quarterly updates refresh every published report across the entire stock (governance votes, treasury moves, token unlocks, and regulatory developments), so your team never works from a stale view. This is what renewals buy.
