Permissionlessly trade options, on any ERC20 token.
Flexible and composable
Clear, our options settlement layer, takes a unique approach to time specificity, strike price, and premium, enabling American and European options with no pricing assumptions.
Permissionless and efficient
Clear options are permissionless. Write options on any ERC20 token, and transact with anyone. Our options use the ERC-1155 standard, lowering the viscosity of risk settlement.
Fair and secure
Clear settles options physically via a novel fair settlement algorithm. This minimizes counterparty risk, so you can securely hedge your risk.
