Whiteheart Finance Memo

What: Whiteheart Finance is a decentralized protocol to enable a user to protect their investment in WBTC or ETH over a 14–28 day time period. This happens using a smart-contract paired with a liquidity pool to provide the difference between say an initial amount of $ETH worth $10,000 and the difference if it goes down to $5000. The differential ($5,000)would be payed out to the user + the diminished $ETH, retaining their initial USD value in $ETH (So payout is $5000 USDC, $5000 $ETH after the drop because the initial value of $ETH was $10,000). There is a price for this protection, 9.9% for $WHETH and 6.9% for $WHBTC.

Why: To provide tools which enable limited downside in USD terms if used correctly.
