i used to hear “options” and immediately think complexity.
strikes, expiry, calls, puts… abeg 😭
but the more i learn about it, the simpler the basic idea becomes.
options give you more ways to approach your assets.
you can use them to hedge a position, manage risk, generate potential yield, or take a view on where the market might go.
and this is why i find onchain options interesting.
instead of just holding an asset and waiting for price to move, you have more tools to work with.
Ithaca is one protocol i’ve been exploring in this space, built around non-custodial and composable options.
still learning the mechanics myself, but i’m starting to see options less as some complicated trading instrument and more as another building block for DeFi.
more tools. more strategies. more ways to use your capital.
