Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed splitting 1 ETH into two paired option assets that always sum back to 1 ETH, eliminating forced liquidations and letting synthetics rely on slow, prediction-market-style oracles.
Vitalik Buterin's proposal for options-based DeFi could revolutionize how liquidations are handled in the ecosystem.
In a research post published Monday, Buterin proposed creating index-tracking assets using options contracts rather than the debt-based structures that underpin much of DeFi today.
Vitalik Buterin's research on options-based DeFi could transform how the ecosystem manages market downturns.
Authors: Thomas Coratger , Tom Wambsgans , Ladislaus , Thomas Thiery , Justin Drake As outlined in the Strawmap roadmap , securing Ethereum against the looming threat of large-scale quantum computers is a top priority. A critical milestone in this transition is migrating our proof-of-stake consensus from BLS signatures to a post-quantum (PQ) secure signature scheme. This post aims to explore the concepts and design space for a Post-Quantum Public Key Registry. Importantly, the actual transition will happen in phases: the Public Key Registry fork will occur first, enabling validators to registe
A proposed post-quantum public key registry for Ethereum validators addresses future security concerns.
The OCC-chartered crypto bank is positioning its Atlas network as a coordinated multiparty settlement layer for institutional trading on Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aave — letting funds touch live DeFi without moving assets offshore or prefunding venues.
Anchorage Digital's new settlement layer aims to bridge institutional trading with DeFi.
Special thanks to Vladimir Novakovski, Curve developers, and others for feedback and review. Suppose that you have some ticker T , which represents a price index denominated in ETH. For example, T could equal the USD/ETH price (ie. inverse of ETH/USD). Or CPI/ETH (aka CPI/USD * USD/ETH). Or the same for any other commodity. Or more exotic indices (eg. average rent prices in a city). You want to give users the ability to have exposure to T . In simpler terms, your goal is to create something like a synthetic asset that tracks T , without relying on centralized issuers, on top of an ecosystem wh
The proposal for index-tracking assets using options contracts could reshape DeFi's approach to market stability.
BTC fell 3.4% in 24 hours to below $71,000, the lowest level in weeks, as Monday's 8-K filing disclosing Strategy's first publicized bitcoin sale continued to weigh.
Bitcoin's recent price drop is attributed to Strategy's BTC sale and broader market conditions.
A $79 million market hinges not on whether Michael Saylor's firm sold bitcoin, but on whether a sale disclosed June 1 can count toward a deadline that passed May 31.
Polymarket bettors are debating the significance of a Bitcoin sale disclosed by Strategy in relation to a deadline.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov says it is “returning to our roots — and starting a new chapter” by rebranding Toncoin to Gram.
The Open Network is rebranding Toncoin to Gram, signaling a new direction for the project.
