Amoveo is a peer-to-peer market protocol for trading financial derivatives.

History

Amoveo is a blockchain for financial derivatives developed by Zack Hess. Prior to creating Amoveo, Hess worked to design Augur and Aeternity and participated constantly in the ideation of blockchain-based prediction markets. Amoveo incorporates into its design a variety of technical, social, and financial theories including: futarchy from Robin Hanson, trustless prediction markets from Paul Sztorc, Bitcoin’s Nakamoto consensus from Satoshi Nakamoto, and atomic swaps from Tier Nolan. “The Rainbow Network: An Off-Chain Decentralized Synthetics Exchange” by Dan Robinson summarizes many of the technical design features implemented in the Amoveo blockchain protocol.
