Abstract:
The emergence of cryptocurrencies has significantly altered the financial landscape, introducing both opportunities and challenges, particularly within asset management. By harnessing the immutability and transparency of blockchain technology, our goal is to present a model that enables the decentralization of the traditional hedge fund industry by removing intermediaries. Our approach integrates smart contracts and pioneering standards like ERC-6551, offering a way for managers to hold and operate investors’ assets securely. Furthermore, the model facilitates decentralized decision-making, enabling investors to participate in fund governance using voting mechanisms. This work outlines a concrete path toward decentralizing asset management, marking a significant step in reshaping traditional practices and fostering innovation in the financial sector.
