Lots of demand for USDC as we’re one of the few protocols that allow multi collaterals for perps and options but settle in USDC

One benefit of defi is that the chain / node gives you a free / rate limit-less API for your agent. Excited to see Grix build this out.

This + options great as insurance too. Can buy ultra cheap puts 1wk-1mo out if you think this 40% run needs a bit of a breather @derivexyz

Excited for our power option traders to try this. We built a modular base layer in the protocol that allows for “periodic upgrades”. New risk managers used to require 6-9mo and massive migrations. This one we design->audit->deployed in 2-3mo. Users get 2-3x capital efficiency.

Grinding it out with Muir Telonic. Roundtrip cancels / post-only orders already at 200-500 micros in mainnet. Next stop, p99 <1ms on all orders.

Direct impact on our UX is that users and market makers will soon be able to fit 256 options in a single portfolio (currently 128) - 100% margined onchain. Seems like microjuice, but seriously reduces onboarding friction for MMs that are used to unlimited CEX position limits.

Quietly growing. It takes forever to build up the network effects for an options protocol. But there is a massive moat once you have achieved it.
