Why this exists

Parametric FX protection that takes math seriously

Methodologically defensible

Merton (1976) jump-diffusion + GARCH(1,1) integrated variance, calibrated per pair against 20+ years of history. Hull Ch 17/20/23/27 + Taleb Dynamic Hedging Ch 6/15.

Built for frontier-EM

Most parametric-options venues quote G10. BlockFinaX leans into corridors where the options market doesn't exist — GHS, NGN, KES, UGX, ETB, ZMW, and more.

Backtested before shipped

Walk-forward simulation on 22 years per pair, with no look-ahead. The engine collects ~3–6× what it pays out across the universe — LP-profitable, hedger-fair.

Stateless integration

Every state-changing function returns ready-to-sign calldata. Sign with your wallet, broadcast with your RPC. We never custody keys.
