what's gammaswap?

GammaSwap is the first onchain perpetual options protocol that enables users to obtain permissionless leverage on any token by borrowing liquidity from Automated Market Makers (AMMs) like Uniswap V3. It allows liquidity providers to hedge impermanent loss (IL) while speculating on token volatility without synthetic assets, creating real positions backed by AMM liquidity. Key features include synthetic yield tokens like gUSDT, which provide exposure to high-yield strategies in Uniswap V3 pools, such as the WETH/USDT pair, currently offering around 28% APY with hedging against IL. The protocol operates on chains like Arbitrum, integrating with DeFi primitives for composable perpetual options and risk mitigation. Developed by GammaSwap Labs, it focuses on capital efficiency and reducing liquidation risks in volatile markets.
