Traditional derivatives face issues with centralized clearing, creating risks and barriers for smaller traders. DeFi solutions like vAMMs and on-chain order books struggle with permissionless market creation at scale. Symmio, a trustless on-chain derivatives protocol, offers symmetrical contracts and intent-based design for creating new markets freely.

Derivatives trading covers a wide range of assets, but centralized clearing introduces risks and capital requirements, limiting access. DeFi attempts at permissionless derivatives trading face liquidity and price discovery challenges. A more capital-efficient, liquid, and permissionless infrastructure is needed to compete with traditional markets.

Symmio, a trustless on-chain clearinghouse, allows users to trade derivatives without holding underlying assets. It enables creating and trading derivatives for any asset with any payout structure at zero cost. Symmetrical contracts reduce counterparty risk, collateral overhead, and support flexible derivatives beyond futures and options.

Symmio’s governance model is decentralized, empowering users to shape the protocol’s direction. The Symmio token ($SYMM) enables governance participation, allowing token holders to propose and vote on changes. The DAO-driven governance ensures agility in introducing new markets, margin structures, or trading parameters without centralized approval.

The crypto trading market sees an annual volume of $23T, with centralized exchanges dominating over 80%. Decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid and GMX capture 20-25%, growing annually. Symmio focuses on symmetrical derivatives and intent-based trading, offering a tailored approach in a rapidly evolving market.

Lafayette Tabror, founder of Symmio, brings deep blockchain knowledge and financial expertise to the project. Symmio aims to set new standards in on-chain derivatives by prioritizing precision, flexibility, and seamless user experiences. As demand for decentralized solutions rises, Symmio looks to revolutionize the future of derivatives trading.
