FAQ
Layer V is an option trading platform built around one liquidity layer. At its core is a hybrid order book + RFQ execution layer, exposed through Premium Markets, Protected Leverage, and a professional Trading Terminal.
Premium markets allow you to earn yield by writing options. You deposit your asset, select your strategy parameters, and earn premium upfront. Returns are volatility-based and offer risk-adjusted payoffs.
Protected Leverage turns options into a simpler leveraged position. You choose size, duration, and convexity, while downside stays capped at the premium paid upfront. No funding. No liquidation price on the position itself.
Phase one focuses on BTC and ETH options, cash-settled in USDC. Markets launch across daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly expiries, with the asset selection expanding over time into tokenized commodities, indexes, and stocks.
Layer V combines an offchain order book with RFQ. Every fill runs through the same portfolio risk engine, is verified through Chainlink CRE, and settles onchain.
Yes. You interact from your own wallet, collateral is managed onchain, and settlement happens onchain. Layer V does not hold client funds like a centralized exchange.
Connect your wallet and pick the product surface that fits your objective. Start with Premium Markets for yield, Protected Leverage for directional exposure, or the Trading Terminal for full options control.
Layer V is built to be chain-agnostic at the execution layer. The goal is a chain-abstracted experience where users access liquidity and products without needing to think about the underlying deployment
