Eth San Francisco
There was an awesome turnout for Eth San Francisco this past weekend and several hack-a-thon teams ended up building projects either enhancing or integrating Augur.
Lets users buy sets, small portfolio units, that is comprised of Augur shares and dy/dx short tokens. Augur shares track the underlying major index, such as the S&P 500, while the short tokens provide a hedge against the volatility in the ETHUSD price.
