Inspiration

Crypto Tokenomics are broken. Options based incentives present a better ways to align participants of decentralized communities but lack liquidity.

What it does

Dual Finance provides liquidity for and from on-chain option trades. Users can earn real yield by depositing crypto into Dual Investment Pools (DIPs).

How we built it

On Solana using OpenBook (Serum Community Fork) integrating multiple oracles including Chainlink for robust pricing & Quicknode RPCs for fast trading

Challenges we ran into

Managing positions and getting robust oracle pricing on illiquid products in an automated fashion creates lots of edge cases that can lead to poor trades.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The seamless connection between the protocol taking on options risk and creating organic liquidity on-chain.

What we learned

Not all Oracles are created equal, robustness and confidence from each data sources varies greatly.

What's next for Dual Finance: Natural Liquidity

Planning on additional integrations onto Solana DEXs as well as moving multi-chain. DUAL token launch that dogfoods options based token distribution.
