The Ultimate Guide to $rDPX v2

It’s official, the v2 docs are here.

Let’s break down the whitepaper and understand what this means for $rDPX and Dopex as a whole. The focus of v2 will be on the minting of synthetic assets that will be known as $DSC, short for Dopex Synthetic Coins.

For the sake of simplicity, assume that $DSC is $dpxETH for this thread.

The Shift to $dpxETH

The original plan for a native stable derived from $rDPX post v2 has been abandoned.

Let's do a brief 🧵 as to why. For those that don't know, $dpxUSD is no longer in the @dopex_io roadmap.

The burning of $rDPX in its v2 iteration will be used to mint $dpxETH.

This will not be a liquid staking derivative but rather a synthetic version of $ETH.

Let's talk about what the future holds for locked Plutus $IPLS.

Let's talk about how this event will work.

blog.dopex.io/articles/diamo… In February 2021, @Mithical_io changed the game with the yield mint which @DiamondPepes also used for Gen 1.

Dopex just released Atlantic Straddles which gives users another venue to earn yield on stables.

This is the first simplified options strategy on the protocol that is done in one click.

Let’s start from the basics to understand how to use them.

blog.dopex.io/articles/dopex… Straddle

This is an option strategy where a put and call of the same strike price and expiration date are purchased.

The strategy available today is a Long Straddle which requires the purchase of an ATM call and ATM put allowing the buyer to profit off volatility.
