What is Octopus Protocol?
The current landscape of the financial derivatives market is restricted. It holds counterparty risks which are highly dependent on intermediaries and are bound to geographical limitations. It is an overall costly process. The experience of owning and trading derivatives is expensive and tedious, with many risky factors. The restrictions and requirements of engaging with derivatives have led to limited access to this financial instrument.
Octopus Protocol offers investors the advantages of engaging with assets – including commodities, stocks, digital assets, and more without the regulatory requirements and hassle associated with real-world assets. Octopus Protocol derivatives are not backed by the corresponding real world asset. Instead, synthetic tokens track the price of the underlying asset and give exposure to the price through the use of oracles.
Octopus Protocol facilitates the trading of any assets. Synthetic tokens that correspond to cryptocurrencies, futures, bonds, indices, stock, commodities, and more can all be created on the protocol. With the recent increase in volatility on the crypto market, Octopus Protocol offers investors the means to invest in much more stable assets like bonds and indices without taking their capital off-chain.
How It Works
Built on BSC, the Octopus Protocol is an affordable solution for the creation of synthetics that minimizes the amount of collateral required. The ecosystem encompasses four different products to make this possible. These products encompass a decentralized derivatives exchange, asset management, social trading and options trading.
Asset managers have limitless possibilities to create their own tokens or baskets of tokens and connect directly to investors in a peer-to-peer, decentralized infrastructure. Octopus Protocol will feature minimal use of oracles reducing any security concerns or worries about market manipulation.
Oracle is the first protocol on BSC that provides a token minting facility with minimum to no collateral required.
Behind The Team
Octopus Protocol was founded by Obaid Bin Touq, who was listed by Forbes Middle East as the 11th most influential business leader in the UAE region. He has combined his 10 years of experience in the blockchain industry with advisors from leading firms of commodities, asset management, banking, and financial solutions.
Firms associated with Octopus Protocol’ advisors include SEBI, Citibank, McAfee, First Abu Dhabi Bank and many more.
Tokenomics
The $OPS token will accrue value from platform fees paid for engaging and accessing the services on the Octopus Protocol Ecosystem. Everything from creating synthetic assets to exchanging derivatives on the trading platform will add value to $OPS.
On top of that, $OPS can be used by participants to govern the Octopus Protocol, ensuring consensus about decisions and a decentralized network. $OPS can also be staked for rewards or used to incentivize actions across the Octopus Protocol EcoSystem.
