Exploring Decentralization Options: Everything is Ready, Just Awaiting the Right Moment

Decentralization Options are smart contracts with options attributes issued on the blockchain. Compared to traditional options markets, they are permissionless, transparent, and have no default risk, offering stronger composability with other decentralized products. The execution of options is guaranteed by blockchain smart contracts for automatic execution, which is the main difference between Decentralization Options and traditional options.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing: Exploring Decentralization Options

The advantages of decentralized options are mainly reflected in: 1) eliminating default risk; 2) being fairer; 3) deeper and closer capital collaboration. It has no counterparty risk, and the execution environment, processes, and conditions are open and transparent, with the settlement results being clear at a glance. At the same time, it is fairer, as founders and participants can only participate under smart contracts, without privileges.

The main bottlenecks currently faced by the decentralized options market include:

  1. High cost of use, including operational costs, risk costs, and educational costs.

  2. The market is immature, lacking the necessary stable demand, making it difficult to form sufficient liquidity.

  3. Low capital efficiency, requiring over-collateralization to mitigate risk.

  4. The infrastructure is underdeveloped, and the complexity of using wallets and exchanges is high.

All set, just lacking the east wind: Exploring Decentralization Options

Currently, the decentralized options sector is mainly divided into three categories:

  1. Automated classic Options market making, such as Lyra, Deri, Optix, etc.

  2. Structured products based on Options, such as Ribbon Finance, Cega, etc.

  3. Exotic Options Design, such as Y2K Finance, Opyn, etc.

All set, just waiting for the east wind: Exploring Decentralization Options

Although the current user base is still small, with the maturity of Layer 2 networks, a low-cost and efficient Options infrastructure is being formed. In the future, decentralized Options are expected to play an important role in risk management, asset pricing, and other areas, bringing new growth points to the DeFi ecosystem.

All set, only lacking the east wind: Exploring Decentralization Options
