We are proud to announce the official launch of DPX Single Staking Option Vaults on the Arbitrum Network.

What are SSOVs?

Similar to single staking vaults, SSOVs allow users to lock up tokens for a specified period of time and earn yield on their staked assets. Users will be able to deposit assets into a contract which then sells your deposits as call options to buyers at fixed strikes that they select for end-of-month expiries. SSOV options are either at the money, out of the money, or far out of the money.

How do they work?

  • Prior to the beginning of a new epoch, strikes are set for the month-end.
  • Users lock assets into this vault and select fixed strikes that they would like to sell calls at.
  • The contract deposits the users’ tokens into a single staking pool for farming rewards and also earns yield from selling covered calls.

In essence, users will be selling covered calls at low risk with no need for intensive knowledge on option Greeks.

🚨 Key To Note

  • We will bootstrap the vault 8 hours from now.
  • Until then deposits will be open but purchasing will be closed.
  • Deposits can be made for different strikes.
  • Depending on the epoch, users will have to lock their deposits (stake) for 28/35 days.
