What is Polynomial Earn vaults?

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.

Why Optimism?

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.

Why does the user need to connect the wallet?

What about Lyra trading rewards?
