About the Psy Options project

Psy Options is a decentralized options exchange project, built and developed on the Solana ecosystem. It provides a secure, fast and developed trading platform based on Solana blockchain technology, allowing users to trade options with high accuracy and good liquidity.

Mechanism of action

Psy Options is an options exchange that gives users the ability to buy or sell underlying options. Each option contract on the platform consists of 5 important components: the underlying asset, the quoted asset, the expiration time, the strike price, and the contract size.

1. The underlying asset is the asset that the user predicts will increase or decrease in price to exercise the option. 
2. Quoted assets are assets that users use to pair with the underlying asset. 
3. The expiration time is the final time at which the option buyer must decide whether to exercise the option or not.
4. The strike price is the price at which the option contract is exercised.
5. The contract size is the amount of the underlying asset the user wants to exercise the option on.

With these components, Psy Options provides users with a simple and transparent way to trade options with high accuracy and good liquidity.

Epilogue

With the drop of the market and the weakening of FTX, the Solana ecosystem has suffered a lot, and Psy Options has also been hit hard. Currently, the project TVL is just over 2 million USD.
