About Opium

Opium is a decentralized derivatives protocol on Ethereum that enables permissionless creation of virtually any financial derivative — options, credit default swaps (CDS), interest rate swaps, and custom structured products. The protocol provides the infrastructure layer for derivative creation, with each derivative being a smart contract deployable without permission. OPIUM is the governance token enabling holders to vote on protocol parameters and new derivative type approvals. The project targets sophisticated DeFi users and institutions wanting access to complex hedging tools in a decentralized manner.

How to Swap OPIUM

Swapping Opium (OPIUM) on SyntheticSwap is quick and requires no account or KYC. Since OPIUM is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rainbow, or Ledger Live. Open SyntheticSwap, select OPIUM as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and review the floating exchange rate. Once you send OPIUM to the deposit address provided, the destination asset is delivered directly to your wallet. The process is fully non-custodial — SyntheticSwap never holds your tokens at any point.

How to Store OPIUM

Store OPIUM in MetaMask or any ERC-20 compatible Ethereum wallet. OPIUM can be staked in the protocol's staking pool for fee revenue.
