Bloot #1 has landed in my vault ๐ฅ
Not only is it the first ever Bloot, it also has the popular โCock Ringโ trait. ๐๐
imo one of the most significant NFTs from the 2021 era
Thank you to all that made it possible & especially the @foundersdao for donating it to me! ๐๐๐
Building index-tracking assets on top of options instead of debt

What if the use options as the base of defi, instead of CDPs and liquidations? So instead of extreme price movements creating a sharp and global "you get liquidated" effect, instead your exposure to the index diverges quadratically from your preferred exposure in a smoother way?
A key benefit is getting rid of the need for instant oracles, and instead making everything work on top of "slow oracles" (ie. the type that prediction markets use)
This design has a significant downside - the need to do regular rebalancing - and an open question of whether and how this rebalancing can be made slippage-resistant enough. But it's worth considering and trying IMO. I would feel much safer holding algostables inside something like this, than in something that depends on an oracle that has to give real-time answers (and therefore could be tricked into giving wrong real-time answers with no time for human recourse).
Extremely satisfying to see Vitalik pitch what is essentially Sir Trading. Let us address Vitalik's proposal and compare it to us.

On Sir, traders pay a one-time fee, just like in options. There are no liquidations.

This is exactly how our leveraged tokens work. Notice from the chart below that our ETHยฒ does not decay over time (still went down because price of ETH went down oc). If you check 2 time instant with the same ETH price, you will notice that ETHยฒ also preserves the price.

Precisely, we use 30-min TWAPs.

We have actually fixed this part. We fixed by adding more flexibility in the contract between traders and LPers. Instead of performing actual leverage rebalancing, we derived the formula if the leverage was maintained perfectly constant, and just recalculate amounts when someone enters or exits a position.

The first primitive built for long-term leverage.
Open a leveraged long with a one-time fee. No liquidations. No funding. Just convex upside. LPs earn fees plus MegaSIR, the native token of Sir Trading, which pays ETH dividends.
