Thetanuts Finance is a decentralized on-chain options protocol specializing in altcoin options, enabling users to go long or short on options. It operates across multiple chains and offers yield generation through options vaults, though it recently suffered a $105K exploit on deprecated legacy contracts.
Tranchess is a tokenized asset management and derivatives trading protocol that allows users to invest in a main fund tracking an underlying asset like BTC, and then split it into tranches with different risk/return profiles. It offers a one-stop DeFi platform including yield farming, lending, and trading. The project is currently winding down its funds.
