This allows for the creation of novel Atlantic Products as outlined below.
Providing liquidity in Atlantic Options provides identical payoffs to standard option writers. Moved collateral earns interest paid as funding on top of the usual premiums, allowing writers to benefit from an additional source of yield whilst maintaining the same risk exposure. Learn more ↓

Zero day to Expiry Options (0dte)
Zero Day To Expiry (ZDTEs) options are simply option contracts that expire on the day of purchase. They are typically used by option day traders that aim to profit from extremely short time frame volatility.
Time to expiration is a significant factor in option pricing. This makes ZDTEs a highly effective tool in acquiring extremely high leverage for short term option traders since the cost of premiums is markedly lower than their longer dated counterparts. Learn more ↓

Options Liquidity Pool (OLP)
Dopex SSOVs are European-style options which can only be settled at expiration. This creates friction for option purchasers that want to exit their positions early.
Option Liquidity Pools ("OLPs") are a secondary marketplace that allow Option Purchasers to sell their positions against a liquidity pool at an IV discount (lower IV equates to cheaper options as per the Black-Scholes Model), allowing them to exit their positions mid-epoch.
OLP liquidity is provided by LPs who are willing to purchase options mid-epoch at a discount. LPs that successfully purchased these options can hold their position till settlement or sell it back into the OLP.
