1/ Been seeing a few threads about the Optimism > Arbitrum flippening.

User & capital inflow metrics are strong for @optimismFND, but @arbitrum has more native protocol diversity and innovation imho

Here are five #Arbitrum native protocols you must keep your eye on

2/ @GammaSwapLabs (testnet)

Innovative volatility trading platform. Turns impermanent loss into impermanent gains via interest payments from gamma (volatility) longs

2.5/ Solves one of the biggest issues plaguing a core DeFi primitive by creating a marketplace for gamma trading. LPs get paid more, gigabrain traders can profit. It’s a win-win

Gammaswap research report almost ready 🫡 Stay tuned

3/ @y2kfinance (live)

Defi catastrophe bonds that allow users to speculate or hedge against depeg events of pegged assets such as stablecoins and liquid staking derivatives

3.5/ Stablecoins gaining dominance albeit systemic risk + LSD narrative going strong. Investors now have the option to purchase (and eventually trade) insurance on their pegged assets.

Check out my thread + research report to go from zero to hero on Y2K

4/ @STFX_IO (testnet)

More than just a copy trading protocol built atop @GMX_IO. STFX pioneers the use of Single Trade Vaults, enabling traders to build communities around their trades and monetize their ideas.

4.5/ Further democratizes asset management with unprecedented low cost, short duration vaults with high network effect potential and adds a social layer to @GMX_IO

Tons of support from a lot of DeFi and ETH OGs as well. Public token sale ends in 4 days!

5/ @dopex_io (live)

Diamond pepe CEO of the #OpFi narrative. LPs deposit liquidity to “write” call/put/straddle options and earn yield from traders paying premiums to hedge their positions or take directional bets

5.5/ Unlocks a whole new class of financial instruments for on-chain traders. Atlantic straddle integration with @GMX_IO allows traders to buy “insurance” for their perps. Fascinating stuff.

6/ @JustBetOfficial (testnet)

Web3 casino with fully transparent and auditable on-chain randomization. Adopts a similar house pool approach as @GMX_IO, offering real yield to depositors and simple betting games to players

6.5/ JustBet’s UI indicates they will expand to actual casino games including BlackJack, Slots, Craps, and my personal favorite, PvP poker. Leave a comment if you’re down to play
