Road Map
Problems & Solutions
Problems
- No possibility to sell options on AMMs directly
- Low liquidity
- High spreads on limit book exchanges
Solutions
- Selling options directly will be built as a core feature
- Selling and buying options will provide better price discovery and increase the usage of liquidity pool(s) to multiples of its value, in other words increase capital efficiency. Hence increasing APY and following that the liquidity.
- Price for both buy and sell will be the same before fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selling will work almost the same as buying options with two differences. First user will receive premium instead of paying it. Second the user selling the option will have to lock in tokens covering the option.
Since users can both sell and buy options from/to the given pool, the AMM can match options between buyers and sellers. With a limitation that the absolute difference between bought and sold options will be lower than the liquidity in the pool to ensure coverage of all options.
Buying and selling options will be based on the same market price and there will be fees charged on top of it. This sets the spread to approximately twice the size of the fees.
It will be possible to use liquidity pool above 100% of its value which will increase the APY which in turn will drive in more liquidity to the pool.
