Our Vision
As the NFT market continues to grow to reach $300bn by 2030 (digital identity, gaming, tokenised real world assets, decentralized IP, etc.), there is a multi-billion dollar opportunity in building an options and derivatives market for NFTs - which does not exist yet. In comparison, in TradFi, option trading surpassed $6T this year (vs. $17T for equities trading). Options are a great financial tool for being exposed and speculate on an asset without owning it, and is the next growth area for NFTs.
Problem we solve
NFTs are a new asset class with a set of challenges when it comes to creating options - like the low liquidity, the pricing and the partial non fungibility. Some companies are trying to build derivatives on floor prices but this approach means relying on an oracle which means price manipulation is possible. There is a booming NFT financialization landscape, and we aim at taking the lead on options, with an approach radically different to other companies in the landscape - by using a physical delivery of the NFT at the option closing, instead of relying on floor prices. Typically our platform would allow:
- retail investors like NFT traders to hedge their holdings during market downturn, and make profits on collections going down
- institutional investors (market makers, hedge funds) to implement NFT market neutral strategies and finally unlock institution defi money flow to the NFT market
Our product
Our first product is a peer-to-peer marketplace allowing NFT traders (400k active users / month) to bet on the rise and fall of NFT collections floor prices, with no oracle needed. Bears will be able to short collections (for the first time without manipulation possible) while Bulls will be able to buy discounted NFTs. The product is designed for simplicity and fun, and is based on the feedback of 10s of NFT traders, that are impatiently waiting for the product release.
Growth
We start by targeting the active and engaged community of NFT power traders, who are currently looking for new solutions to make profits during the bear market - the old recipe (flipping, holding) not working anymore. We have a compelling value proposition for them, allowing seamless shorting and hedging. As we attract more users, we’ll iterate on our product to enable more parameters, launch new features and a dedicated desk for professional investors (defi institutions, NFT funds, market markers, etc.).

How do I get a job at DeFi?

- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
