Option scalping alongside option perps will be a unique product for LPs and users alike.

Scalpers get access to 1 $eth worth of exposure (long or short) for ~<$10 for a short period of time (<1hr - 5m, 15m, 30m etc.)

LPs get to earn premium and funding with no risk of downside Image
How does it work?

Similar to atlantic straddles - where an option is purchased and it's collateral is borrowed.

However, here the entire collateral is swapped to the other asset in the pair.

The buyer also posts an amount of margin to "fix" their liquidation price.
LPs don't lose anything here since the pnl is paid by the change in price from the swapped asset. if things go the wrong way, margin is used to cover shortfalls until liquidation.

free alpha for mev/arb searchers/quants etc. who are okay with kyc:

- write atlantic straddles
- since you need only 1 way hedging, buy otm puts at your downside breakeven on deribit
- we will provide option liquidity pools for hedging soon so it could be done all onchain
- for now, write a script that purchases deribit puts using ccxt and expiries coinciding with straddles expiries with puts slightly gte downside breakeven
- if naked writing apy is 450% on eth, assuming 50% of epochs expire below downside breakeven...
and accounting for hedging costs, you're probably going to still get about 100%+~ apy on your usdc

Atlantic straddle writers from the 1st epoch wrote at an average price of around $1680 $eth.

At expiry, price was $1994. Buyers made a pretty great profit.

But how hard did writers get rugged? They didnt get rugged at all, they lost 0 from settlement and only earned a premium
This is pretty cool and different from writing conventional straddles.

The only downside for straddle writers is if prices go down at settlement.

But its a pretty easy hedge by purchasing slight otm puts at the same expiry but a cost < premium.
This is probably going to be a popular way for parked stables to earn a pretty high yield compared to anything else available in defi today, I mean what are the alternatives?

If you're fully hedged for the downside and say 50% of epochs end with no loss for writers...

Say you're farming with $1m on curve in a fairly stable pool @ 10% apy. Your weekly return amounts to $1923 (1m * 0.1 / 52)

You can use $10k from the $1m (10% of annualized return) to write $1m worth of ATM calls or puts (or both) at 100x leverage for your pool.
This earns an additional $120 - $250 (if both) a week (+0.6 - 1.3% APY)

If you're selling calls and pool apy goes to say 15% over the week based on change in gauge rewards, you collect $120 from call premium + an additional 5% on APY ($961) from your $1m deposit
However the call settlement comes to $960 cancelling out the APY earned. This effectively fixes your annualized rates at 10.6 - 11.3% assuming the pool earns a constant 10% over the year.
