Options Protocol to Lead the Next DeFi Narrative
Last updated
Moby, the first on-chain options protocol to receive an Arbitrum Foundation Grant prior to mainnet launch, marks a transformative milestone in DeFi. Powered by its Synchronized Liquidity Engine (SLE), Moby renders real-time accurate pricing, the narrowest spread in the market, and unparalleled liquidity.
On Moby, Liquidity Providers (LPs) allocate capital into liquidity pools, which serve as counterparties for traders. When traders open / close positions, corresponding liquidity pools automatically take opposite positions. Fees generated from traders opening or closing positions are distributed to LPs, incentivizing them to inject more liquidity and rendering a liquid trading environment for on-chain options.
Mobyโs Synchronized Liquidity Engine (SLE) is pioneered in effectively tackling the prevalent issue of fragmented liquidity found in both centralized and decentralized exchanges, making Moby the most optimal trading platform for on-chain options.
Mobyโs flywheel thrives on a dynamic feedback loop whereby: Significant trading volume backed by abundant liquidity and capital efficiency translates into a portion of fees distributed to LPs โ As trade volume escalates on Moby, LPs earn greater returns, โ Which prompts more liquidity injection โ More liquidity leads to an even better trading environment โ So on so forth.....
This cycle is expected to enrich Mobyโs trading environment and attract a growing community of traders, cementing Moby's leadership in the on-chain options market.
