Fortuna is developing a blockchain for the derivatives market. Fortuna hopes to leverage the benefits of blockchain to improve the operational efficiency during each step of a transaction, including contract creation, price quoting, contract signing, trading, and clearing. They also hope to introduce a number of decentralized innovations, such as structured smart contracts and a decentralized quote scheme. Users can execute P2P trades and create unique derivatives with different underlying assets, deal structures, time lengths, margin ratios and other transactional characteristics.
