Derive vs Nado

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.

Nado is a high-performance central-limit orderbook (CLOB) DEX built on Ink L2, combining off-chain execution with on-chain risk and settlement for ultra-low latency trading. It enables spot and perpetual markets under a unified margin system where collateral dynamically offsets risk across positions, maximizing capital efficiency. With features such as money markets, up to 20x leverage, liquidity provision via the NLP vault, and an HFT-friendly API, Nado delivers a professional trading experience with taker fees as low as 1.5 bps and maker rebates up to -0.8 bps, all while preserving full self-custody of assets.
