Summary: Hedgey is a token-management platform for DAOs and other onchain teams that combines self-service vesting, investor lockups, token grants, streams, claims, and community distributions with open-source EVM smart contracts. Its primary-source surface jointly exposes NFT-backed vesting and lockup plans, issuer/admin controls, optional governance rights, Safe-style treasury workflows, and a newer Anchorage-linked cap-table-and-custody layer, so it is better cataloged as token-management and distribution infrastructure than as a simple vesting dashboard, payroll tool, or token-unlock calculator.
What it does:
Lets teams create onchain token vesting plans with cliffs, backdated starts, linear or periodic schedules, optional revocation, and optional governance/delegation rights
Supports investor lockups, token grants, token streams, time-locks, community token drops, and periodic token distributions for teams, contributors, investors, and communities
Uses open-source EVM smart contracts where token plans are represented by NFTs and beneficiaries claim unlocked amounts over time
Integrates with common wallet and treasury workflows including MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, Safe / Gnosis Safe, and Fireblocks-via-WalletConnect flows documented in support pages
Now also sits inside a broader Anchorage Digital token-management offering that adds cap-table management, investor/employee portals, and institutional-custody distribution workflows via HedgeyPro
Key claims:
The homepage frames Hedgey as “Token infrastructure for onchain teams” centered on token vesting, lockups, grants, and distributions rather than as a generic HR or payroll product
The core docs describe Hedgey as helping DAOs and onchain orgs distribute tokens through “onchain, programmatic token releases” using free public-goods-style self-service tools
The vesting docs say plans are fully onchain, revocable by the issuer/administrator, support linear or periodic unlock strategies, and can include optional onchain governance voting and delegation rights
The technical docs position token vesting, token lockups, delegation architecture, token claims, treasury swaps, and V1 NFT/time-lock primitives as parts of one broader smart-contract stack
The public smart-contract README is especially high-signal because it explains that lockup and vesting plans hold ERC-20 tokens while minting an ERC-721 to represent the beneficiary’s claim on those tokens over time
The support docs and askable GitBook pages show Hedgey interacting with treasury/multisig workflows rather than just individual-wallet retail flows
Hedgey’s current operating surface materially changed with its integration into Anchorage Digital, which now markets a higher-touch token-management solution powered by Hedgey’s cap-table and vesting expertise plus Anchorage custody
Whitepaper: No canonical Hedgey whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current sources of truth are the official site, GitBook docs, support docs, and open-source smart-contract repositories, with the Anchorage Digital launch post important for understanding the current institutional product direction; see ../whitepapers/hedgey-primary-sources-2026-04-28.md.
