what's basevol?
BaseVol is an onchain options trading platform built on the Base blockchain, designed to bring institutional-grade derivatives trading to decentralized finance. Originating from traditional finance backgrounds, the team aims to position options as the dominant financial market of the future by leveraging blockchain for transparency, accessibility, and efficiency. The platform specializes in zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options, enabling users to trade and generate yield through automated strategies. At its core, BaseVol features the Genesis Vault, a high-yield product that sells 0DTE options on assets like BTC. It incorporates dynamic risk management, including daily drawdown caps, to balance potential returns with controlled exposure. Users deposit assets into the vault, which automates option selling and collateral management, redistributing generated value to participants. The project's $ATM token integrates a flywheel mechanism: holders stake $ATM to access enhanced vault benefits, increasing total value locked (TVL) and driving demand for the token as vault performance improves. This creates a self-reinforcing ecosystem where protocol growth benefits the community through attributions and staking rewards.
Basevol achieved over 70% TVL growth as a featured Mini App on Base.
