Opyn Description
Opyn v2 provides European, cash-settled options which auto-execute upon expiry. Option holders can exercise their options with cash settlement. They don't need to provide the underlying assets. Instead, the options are settled in collateral assets and option holders receive the difference between expiry price and strike price from option sellers. Opyn options (or oTokens), are ERC20s and can be traded on any decentralized exchange that adheres to the ERC20 standard. Investors trade options to generate income. Options can be used to generate income or earn yield in any market, much like yield farming. Leverage allows traders the ability to use less money to track the price movements of assets. Options offer similar market exposure as owning an asset but require less money. This allows for greater leverage and flexibility for your portfolio.
