Attention all newcomers to the Zetaverse! We’ve seen a bunch of new people flooding in lately, and wanted to update everyone on how Zeta is pushing boundaries in DeFi options. 🔥
What is Zeta? We are an undercollateralized, fully decentralised futures & options protocol built on @solana and @ProjectSerum . Zeta offers the full derivatives product suite, where investors are able to go long, short, and actively express opinions.
But what makes us special?
The first aspect is Zeta's orderbook. Thanks to @solana's incredible speeds and @ProjectSerum's robust infrastructure Zeta brings the full CeFi options experience into DeFi. Individuals can choose to place bids, asks, trades all in sub-second speed, just as you would on FTX.
The second aspect is Zeta's Options Market Maker (OMM). In order to bootstrap liquidity and democratise yields for all, Zeta has built an OMM pool available to everyone that provides liquidity across options at all times. Our pool minimises IL and maximises yield for all.
Third, we also have undercollateralization baked into the entire platform 🥧. For every $1 a user deposits, they are able to trade multiples of that in exposure via our world-class option margining and liquidation system. We make options available to everyone, not just whales 🐳
There are so many more features to mention – an intuitive trading interface, robust liquidation engine... but we won’t have time to go into it all today. Check out our Gitbook for more details! zetamarkets.gitbook.io/zeta/zeta-prot…

1/ The Zeta Vision
Perps are a multi-trillion dollar market and the derivative of choice for crypto traders. As the shift from CeFi to DeFi accelerates, and Solana emerges as the #1 chain for DEX volume, Zeta is set to become the next key player in the crypto trading space.
2/ Supply & Initial Distribution
Token Ticker: $Z
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000
Initial Distribution: 10% airdrop of $Z to reward Zeta users and strategic communities on Solana
CVD shows us the cumulative changes in volume traded by aggressive buyers and sellers, respectively, in a given market, over a specified time period.
Aggressive buyers and sellers are defined as those executing market orders.
CVD is often employed by order flow traders seeking to confirm the direction of price movement.
A negative CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive sellers, while a positive CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive buyers.
CVD sheds light on behavioral patterns being exhibited by buyers and sellers, but it does have its limitations.
It excludes limit orders.
Consequently, it should be viewed as a useful tool — not gospel.
As trading on Zeta resumes, we are thrilled to present our plans to bolster liquidity and solidify our position as the epicenter of derivatives trading on Solana.
2/ Our market maker program is designed to incentivize traders of all sizes and serve as a magnet for the top LPs in the ecosystem.
On top of a 3bps rebate, a weekly cash bonus pool ($4,500 USDC) is available to the top makers in our dated futures and perpetuals markets.
3/ If you are interested in getting set up, Zeta offers an end-to-end onboarding experience with 24/7 coverage.
