Journey into Defi
summary
Pods builds a retail hedging product using on‑chain options and a custom options AMM that aims to cut impermanent loss; early work shipped an “oh my DAI” option on Mina (Nov 2019) providing insurance for DAI peg, then expanded to calls, puts and straddles and became an ETHDenver finalist (Feb 2020). An initial design used Aave smart collateral and Uniswap liquidity but was abandoned because of impermanent loss; the new AMM is under cold audit and slated to go live Q1 2021.
