Partnership with Dopex
We are excited to join forces with Dopex to provide transparent price feed oracles to enable the launch of a single staking option vault on Metis Andromeda.
Introducing Dopex
Dopex is a decentralized options protocol that aims to maximize liquidity, minimize losses for option writers and maximize gains for option buyers — all in a passive manner. Dopex uses option pools to allow anyone to earn a yield passively. Offering value to both option sellers and buyers by ensuring fair and optimized option prices across all strike prices and expiries. This is thanks to the inbuilt innovative and state-of-the-art option pricing model that replicates volatility smiles.
Dopex Integrates DIA Price Oracles
We are excited to provide open-source oracles to Dopex to enable the launch of a single staking option vault and the listing of Metis as a token. With the new integration, Dopex users will be able to write call options on METIS or buy call options on METIS. The vault will be deployed on Metis Andromeda Layer 2 Rollup Platform.
How Does it Work?
To ensure a smooth launch, Dopex required an accurate and reliable price feed for the asset pair METIS/USD, running on Metis’ Andromeda Network. To effectively fulfil the requirements, DIA built a unique and tailor-made price feed oracle for Dopex. The specific processing requirements were transferred to DIA by submitting a DIA Custom Delivery Request (CDR) via the DIA DAO Forum.
“We’re very excited to partner up with DIA and make use of their crowd-sourced price feed for our Metis SSOV on the Metis network. Also a shout-out to the DIA team, our onboarding and set-up experience with them was very smooth and professional.”WitherblockLead Dev — Dopex.io
DIA’s end-to-end oracle capabilities will ensure high quality and resilient data feed for Dopex. Instead of distributing a pre-calculated data feed, DIA built the feed from the ground-up, by simultaneously sourcing trade data directly from CEX and DEXs. Some of the used sources to build the feed include CEX Okx, KuCoin, Gate.io, LBank and DEXs UniSwap, SushiSwap, Netswap and Quickswap, among others.
To come up with the final price points, the aggregated trade data is computed and sanitized based on fully transparent filters and methodologies, previously defined in the Dopex CDR. This grants Dopex and its user base with transparency on the data as well as full control and clarity over the data they depend on.
