Buyer-chosen terms
Problem
Businesses have different invoice dates, sizes and risk tolerances. Pools with one fixed strike and expiry fit few buyers and fragment liquidity into many small pools.
Approach
A pool defines ranges: tenors with markups, permitted structures, limit distances and the closest strike. The buyer chooses exact terms inside them, and each purchase is priced individually by the engine.
Why
- One pool serves many buyers.
- Pricing follows the exact risk of each contract (Premium calculation).
- Creators control risk through ranges instead of picking a single product.
Trade-offs
- Pricing depends on the off-chain engine for every purchase. See Signed quotes.
- A pool's risk is a mix of many strikes and expiries, which is harder to read than one product. The app's risk views summarise it.
