Derive vs ORE Protocol

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.

ORE is a fair-launched digital store of value native to Solana, distributed through an onchain mining game rather than a pre-mine or private sale. In each round, miners deploy SOL on a grid of blocks, and a winning block is chosen at random, with SOL from the losing blocks distributed to the winners along with newly minted ORE. A portion of the protocol's revenue is used to buy back ORE and reward stakers, and the token has a capped supply inspired by the scarcity model of Bitcoin.
