Let's explore the relation between Panoptic and @Uniswap.

Uniswap v3 lets LPs concentrate liquidity in a specific price range, mirroring a put option payoff. The position converts into 100% of token Y when above range and 100% of token X when below range. Image
In Uniswap v3, LPs earn fees from traders as their liquidity facilitates trades. Panoptic extends this by introducing the concept of streamia, where option sellers continually earn these trading fees as streaming premia. Image
Panoptic introduces a market for lending and borrowing Uniswap v3 LP tokens. This enables traders to create long and short options positions.

Any token on Uniswap can be bought or sold as an option. Image

1/8 Perpetual options are a new financial derivative, largely unexplored. Unlike traditional options, perpetual options don't expire.

But can you assign a 'time' component to something perpetual? How does pricing and rolling of perpetual options work? Let’s dive in πŸ‘‡ Image
2/8 ⏳ What are timescales?

For perpetual options, timescales represent the estimated duration over which the option is expected to accrue premia. The concept is similar to the width of a LP position in @Uniswap V3, where the LP position aims to earn fees over a certain period. Image
3/8 For example:

The price range of this one-week (1W) $AVAX put is between $34.54 and $36.68. This means that the option will accumulate premia as long as the $AVAX price is between $34.54 and $36.68.

The width of this 1W option is $2.14 (2.14 = 36.68 - 34.54). Image

Last month's market saw significant developments, starting with the monumental success of the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF, which surpassed $2 billion in assets. This landmark achievement signals growing investor interest in crypto-based ETFs. Image
2/6 Following the ETF announcement, the crypto market experienced volatility compression. Both BTC and ETH implied vol moved sharply downward. Image

⏰ Less than 24 hours to go on the @AvaxπŸ”Ίperpetual options trading contest!

Markets crashing with bearish sentiment β€” let's dive into some analysis of how the top traders used puts to go short and straddles to collect juicy streamia (streaming premia) fees in the trading arena! Image
Trader 0x376f has a huge lead on all $AVAX traders, currently sitting in first place with +57.34% PnL. Looks like 0x376f tested out a 0.3 AVAX put (left) that lost $0.44 in streamia before doubling down on a 7 AVAX contract (right)!
