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…
So what’s been the progress on Zeta so far?

1. A #Zeta101 thread on why options in DeFi don't quite work – yet 🧶😅
2. Hey ZetArmy, wanted to check in and do a quick brief on options in DeFi. Options are without a doubt, one of the most popular instruments for traders to lock in returns, hedge risk, and speculate on prices.
3. Let's talk about why options work in TradFi. Liquid markets mean tight spreads, low fees, and an infinite possibility of strategies. r/wallstreetbets has an entire community of people who love trade options, whether its Thetagang, GME bulls, or TSLA bears.
