Perps aren’t “hold forever”. Path, vol & funding crush expected time to liq. (see heatmaps at the end of ren's article)

Most levered views die before the thesis plays out

Temporal turns perps into tradable bands of your choosing. This converts uncontrolled funding into a well defined budget – extending the life of your trade

Temporal is this primitive. Releasing two products sequentially:

1. liquidation protection for your active perp positions [ more attractive for retail ]

2. perpetual options [ the capital efficient design attracts more sophisticated traders ]

[Siddarth @siddarthpatil]

have had an article in my drafts for weeks about how there has never been a better time to attempt onchain options again

1) we have a lot more sophisticated traders and institutions on chain this cycle than any cycle before —> they need institutional grade risk management instruments

2) retail traders are tired of being directionally right and still liquidated by being wicked out of trade —> options enables directional betting without liquidation risk

3) lack of liquidity is a legitimate hurdle but solvable given a good enough solution gets built

proliferation of leverage is actually bullish for options

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@siddarthpatil gemini too. probably not as bad as gpt but def degraded from a month back

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@HypertradeX apologising on behalf of @TemporalFinance we’re allowing perps traders to keep the same leverage and reduce liquidation risk

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@ramzyyalii very very excited about Genpulse - novel use case! and health data is perfect for blockchain

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@usmansaleem huge! and incredibly useful 🫡

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@tongnk you’re not levering up 100x after last week’s crash

but you still have that itch to get some risk - enter iphones without cover 🤘

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@AltcoinPsycho liquidations should be the last resort. but currently they’re first & only line of defence. that can’t be good risk mgmt.

it’d be cleaner if traders could price and pass off unwanted risk w/o exiting the trade - make it part of position mgmt.

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@systematicls we’re launching @TemporalFinance so users can trade “protected” perps.

push your liquidation floor lower and lower without killing your upside.

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@CryptoHayes this is why we’re launching @TemporalFinance

allows you to push your liquidation floor lower and lower without nuking your returns

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize this wasn’t an impersonator 🙃

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@TylerDurden @Lighter_xyz dw we will contact and personally invite you to trade protected perps on @TemporalFinance on launch

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@siddarthpatil embrace risk. only way

[Varun @0xNowhereMan]

@delitzer @AndreCronjeTech @flyingtulip_ outside of the put option engineering, it’s parallel to LPing into a hedge fund with pure performance fee, no mgmt fees
