Polynomial automates financial derivative strategies to create products that deliver passive yield on various assets. Currently, we have a call selling and put sell strategy on the platform. Through a weekly automated option selling strategy, the vault generates a return on its deposits. To effectively compound the returns for depositors over time, the vault reinvests the yield into the strategy.
Optimism is a layer two scaling platform that inherits the security of Ethereum by being a rollup. Optimistic Rollups have been quicker to provide a generalized environment where multiple applications can exist. Also, the transactions are so fast and the low gas fees.
To interact successfully with a dApp like Polynomial Earn vaults, you'll need to connect your wallet and give the DApp permission to make signed transactions. Most crypto wallets allow you to connect easily with the dApp in this way.
Polynomial Earn Vaults are built on top of the Optimism Network.
Polynomial Earn Vaults use synthetic assets developed by Synthetix.
If the user doesn't have the synthetic assets, then users should swap into synthetic assets to deposit into the Earn Vaults. The user can use the swap feature available on the site for this.
Polynomial does not have a protocol token, be aware of scams. Please report scam tokens if you see one.
Polynomial vaults sells the newly minted options to Lyra AMM in batches to collect yield.
Polynomial sells options to AMM in batches over few hours.
The protocol will stake it on behalf of polynomial users as xLyra, which will decrease AMM fees for users in the long term, thereby increasing yield marginally. The protocol will keep all the tokens.
This is because the assets were swapped into vault compatible assets for deposit
For eg :
USDC -> sUSD
