About Lyra Finance

Lyra Finance is a decentralized options automated market maker (AMM) built on Ethereum L2 networks. Unlike order book options exchanges, Lyra uses an AMM model where liquidity providers deposit into pools that collectively write options. Lyra's pricing engine uses the Black-Scholes model enhanced with dynamic volatility surface tracking, giving options buyers accurate market-based pricing. Traders can buy call and put options on ETH, BTC, and other assets with expirations ranging from days to months. Liquidity providers earn premiums for writing options but bear delta and vega risk. Lyra has rebranded components and expanded to become Derive, a broader derivatives infrastructure protocol. LYRA token holders govern the protocol and receive fee distributions.
