Derive vs LayerZero

Derive V3 Options is the options market of Derive V3, the latest version of the self-custodial derivatives exchange formerly known as Lyra. V3 runs on a zkVM exchange that settles trades on Ethereum: orders are matched on a central limit order book while positions, margin and settlement stay verifiable on-chain. Traders can buy and sell European options on major crypto assets with portfolio margin shared across options, perpetuals and spot, and market makers quote directly into the book.
