# For Traders & Market Makers

For years, blockspace has been an opaque, inefficient, and inaccessible asset. We've changed that. We've transformed raw blockspace into a suite of standardized, liquid, and tradable products, creating the first true marketplace for on-chain execution.

**The Solution: The Blockspace Trading Platform**\
Our platform gives you the tools to trade the core components of Ethereum itself, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for alpha generation and risk management.

* **Precision Execution:** Purchase *Inclusion Guarantees* to secure top-of-block placement with absolute certainty. This is the ultimate edge for latency-sensitive strategies.
* **Hedge Volatility:** Use our upcoming *Base Fee Futures* to hedge against gas price volatility, turning an unpredictable cost into a manageable variable.
* **Capital Efficiency:** Trade a new, liquid asset class that is deeply correlated with on-chain activity, opening up a world of sophisticated arbitrage and hedging strategies against the broader market.

The future of on-chain trading is here. **Access the Blockspace Trading platform** and gain your critical edge: 

* ETHGas Trading is currently available on Mainnet and for testing on the Hoodi network.
* Monitor the markets in our Testnet App UI (Read Only): <https://app.ethgas.com/>
* Testing is only available via API – view our [support docs](https://www.ethgas.com/#) and [developer docs](https://developers.ethgas.com/#change-log) to get started

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ethgas.com/overview/solutions-for-you/for-traders-and-market-makers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
