Exploring DeFi Options
summary
Describes how decentralized options are implemented on Ethereum with a recently launched Open v2 that mints ERC‑20 oTokens, moves from physical settlement in v1 to cash settlement using Chainlink oracles, and enables bespoke OTC trades by letting counterparties set strike and expiry and swap collateral on‑chain. Claims options underpin a $300 trillion traditional market, shows liquidity and gas limits on L1, and reports the protocol works while planning Layer‑2 migration and progressive decentralization.
