We’re proud to introduce $Z - the future of decentralized trading.

$Z powers the governance and protocol growth of Zeta Markets, @solana's fastest perpetuals exchange, which has facilitated +$4B in trading volume serving 71.6k monthly active users.

Coming soon. 🧵 1/ The Zeta Vision

Perps are a multi-trillion dollar market and the derivative of choice for crypto traders. As the shift from CeFi to DeFi accelerates, and Solana emerges as the #1 chain for DEX volume, Zeta is set to become the next key player in the crypto trading space.

What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?

CVD shows us the cumulative changes in volume traded by aggressive buyers and sellers, respectively, in a given market, over a specified time period.

Aggressive buyers and sellers are defined as those executing market orders. CVD is often employed by order flow traders seeking to confirm the direction of price movement.

A negative CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive sellers, while a positive CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive buyers.

1/ Zeta DEX Rewards are LIVE 👀

As trading on Zeta resumes, we are thrilled to present our plans to bolster liquidity and solidify our position as the epicenter of derivatives trading on Solana. 2/ Our market maker program is designed to incentivize traders of all sizes and serve as a magnet for the top LPs in the ecosystem.

Options back SoonTM 🫡

1/ What are ratio back spreads and what can they do for you? 🧵⤵️

A ratio back spread is a long vol options strategy with an alluring risk-reward profile.

The strategy involves selling and buying options (of the same class) with the same expiry at ratios such as 1:2 or 2:3. 2/ The strike price of the long options is further out-of-the-money (OTM) than the strike price of the short options.

Key benefits of the strategy include:

– Unlimited profit

– Defined risk

– Bidirectional profit potential (if established for a net credit)

– Low-cost entry

1/ The provision of high-fidelity on-chain data is an essential component of high performance derivatives trading.

It’s no coincidence that Zeta’s on-chain risk engine depends on @PythNetwork to deliver the most performant and secure undercollaterised trading experience in DeFi

Pyth is the epitome of Web3 oracle reliability, and we’re eager to see them lead the push to innovate on the governance, data staking, and cross-chain fronts!

1/ Long SOL but want cost-effective downside protection?

Let us introduce you to a risk reversal trade known as the Protective Collar — aka Hedge Wrapper 🌳🎁 2/ Looking at the volatility smile on Zeta options in the @GenesisVol app — you see downside protection is expensive 💸

Last day of 2021 feels like a good time for this...

2022 predictions for DeFi ! 👇🧵 2/ Prediction 1: The year of composability

Permissionless innovation will come to the fore. Essential primitives are largely in place for all CeFi products to be built: price oracles (@PythNetwork), settlement layers, credit & lending markets (@solendprotocol @JetProtocol)

1) Today, we are thrilled to announce Zeta’s official partnership with @projectserum🔥We’ve joined forces with the project at the absolute forefront of DeFi development to bring fast, liquid derivatives to the Solana ecosystem.
Thread below ⬇️ 2) When Zeta was deciding which chain to implement its vision for fast, decentralized, capital-efficient derivatives – we landed on Solana due to speed, efficiency, and a first-class orderbook primitive called Serum.

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?

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.

1. Hey everyone! We are thrilled to start sharing #Zeta101 small dives into options jargon! 2. Today we will be covering the difference between a call and put option!
