TLDR
It is a #NFT #option protocol with a to be confirm "collateral pool" model, seem

How does it work

So it basically works as a normal option.
Buy Option

1. Put (i think going down)
2. Call (i think going up)

Sell option

1. Put (i think it will going up or remain unchanged *to earn premium*)
2. Call (i think it will go down or remain unchanged *to earn premium*)

Wasabi’s gitbook currently doesn’t state how is the “collateral pool works”. They stated it might be sell/LP. I’d imagine it might be using actual NFT as collateral or over collateral amount of ETH.

So wen/how would you use this protocol?

E.g. if i am bullish on moonbird. Which current floor price is 7.3 and i think it would be above 9.2(break even point) I can buy the option with “premium”0.29 and earn any profit above 9.2
E.g if it goes up to 15 you will earn 15-9.2=5.8

E.g if I am bearish on moonbird, floor price is 7.3 and i think it will drop below 6.36 (break even point) i can buy the option with 0.64eth premium and earn any profit if it drop below 6.36.

Writer/sell..? Unknown follow me to keep up to date.
(how to earn if the price remain unchanged)

What does can wasabi enable

- Lower cost in hedging
- Lower to leverage on price speculation
- potential earn yield on your nft (depending on pool model)

What are the challenges

Like all on chain options, I’d imagine there will be difficulty in matching maker (LP or NFT provider, option contract writer). If it were to use NFT as settle will there be enough liquidity?

Also how are the option priced? How do you set the premium?

Summary

Options for #NFT will be interesting to use,I look forward to how the pool is structured and the price of the option. It will be interesting to see how the team merge option, which is typically not a option friendly market with NFTs which is a very retail heavy market.
