Session A: Product Innovation and Development
✅Launch of Deri V4
In November 2023, we launched Deri V4 as the pioneering Layer 3 project, introducing a cross-chain derivatives trading service to all DeFi users.
Deri V4 brings several key advantages for our users, including:
- Consolidated Liquidity for Enhanced Trading
- Faster Execution and Reduced Gas Costs
- Expanded Symbol Offerings and More Option Strikes
- Flexibility of Network
One month after its launch, DERI V4 has amassed a TVL ～1.6 million, attracted 29,000 users and now offers more than 60 trading symbols.
✅The Introduction of Gamma Swap
Launched in its beta version as part of Deri V3, Gamma Swap is designed to optimize capital efficiency. It allows the buyers to gain the Gamma exposure of some underlying asset and the sellers to earn the funding fees by providing that exposure, which can be a useful instrument for managing risks in a volatile market.
Following the feedback we gathered during the Beta phase, Deri Protocol has rolled out a new transaction fee algorithm for Gamma Swap. This update is designed to greatly enhance the adoption and practical use of Gamma Swap among our users.
✅Enhancing User Experience with New Features
- Funding Fee Chart: This new feature provides traders with access to historical funding fee data for derivatives, enabling more informed and strategic trading decisions.
- Limit and Stop Order: We’ve introduced ‘Limit’ and ‘Stop Order’, expanding the trading capabilities on our platform for a better user experience.

With Deri Protocol, trades are executed under AMM paradigm and positions are tokenized as NFTs, highly composable with other DeFi projects. Having provided an on-chain mechanism to exchange risk exposures precisely and capital-efficiently, Deri Protocol has minted one of the most important blocks of the DeFi infrastructure.
