clear filters ×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.
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.
