Description
EthosX brands itself as a platform for 'zero intermediary' derivatives trading, combining traditional finance and crypto markets on-chain. Its flagship retail product, OPerps, is a perpetual options offering built on a 'Pool vs Pool' model with settlement cycles as short as five minutes, leverage ranging from 100x to 1000x, and a guaranteed 50% stop loss regardless of leverage. For institutional users, EthosX offers a Derivatives RFQ platform for customized vanilla and exotic derivative quotes, and on-chain clearing and settlement infrastructure. The platform also provides a lending protocol liquidation protection product to safeguard assets against liquidation risk during market crashes. EthosX targets both retail traders seeking leveraged, transparent trading tools and institutional participants seeking regulatory clarity, capital efficiency, and reduced counterparty risk in decentralized derivatives markets. The company has partnered with DeFi platform Kana Labs and references data partnerships with Nasdaq and Pyth, and runs community programs (Discord, Zealy quests, NFT airdrop, ambassador program) to grow its user base.Grant Funding
