ITHACA PROTOCOL(ITHACA) 是什麼？

Ithaca is a non-custodial, composable, option, option strategies and structured products (and soon) protocol on Arbitrum (and soon on Base and Solana) underpinned by a provably optimal, auction-based matching engine. Current Rankings Ithaca already ranks consistently between #1 and #4 option protocols in terms of volumes and premia on DefiLlama, having been live for few months and liquidity ramping up. Vision Ithaca will be the no1 option protocol across chains Why options? Option market is huge everywhere; never a ‘demand for options‘ challenge, always ‘liquidity’; Ithaca solved this. 'It is easy to build a perp product when you have an option market. It is very hard to build an option market when you just got perps.' Ithaca will be the 'Uniswap of Options' Similar to how a protocol would seed an AMM pool to generate liquidity on spot trading of their token, Ithaca has built innovative modular infrastructure that allows for instant spin up of complete liquid option / option strategy / structured product markets on any underlying.
