❇️Divergence 2021 Year-End Review

On Dec 31, we released our year-end review titled “A Year in Buildl” where we outlined what has been accomplished so far, where we currently stand, and what to expect in the future.

TLDR: 2022 will be a big year, both for options & structured products and for Divergence.

👀Upcoming👀

❇️ New Beta Version with Updated Product Structures

The team is finalizing the updated technical structure for our binary options marketplace and have started updating the codebase in preparation for the next beta version.

The new version will better serve traders and market makers and give room for advanced options strategies. We can’t wait to share with the community all the details and will update our public documentation in the coming weeks :)

❇️ Code Optimizations and New Audit

Security is a priority for Divergence. With the new technical structure coming to our codebase, a new round of smart contract audits is being scheduled and a public bug bounty with whitehats is being prepared.

❇️ New NFTs & Incentive Programs

The team is working with our community designers on our non-fungible shields to be distributed to our community. As we mentioned in our year-end review, “DeFi can be gamefiable” and NFTs can be more than just a user loyalty program in DeFi, they will be important components in our incentive system.

📊Crypto Options Market News📊

❇️ Crypto Implied Vol (the cost of Options) hit a 1year low. Existing Defi-Option Vaults (DOVs) have been noted as volatility sellers.

❇️ BTC and ETH long-dated implied vols are plumbing multi-year lows. What is causing this and where do we go from here?
