Hi Chaingers, as you well know, we’ll soon be releasing the much awaited Chainge Decentralized Exchange (DEX). We’re shooting for the Spot DEX and Futures DEX (+Liquidity Pools module included) to be ready and launched by the end of July. And then further on we will be releasing the Options DEX.
So it’s time once more for some sneak previews & walkthroughs, so that when you start using the DEX everything goes smoothly.
Liquidity Pools
Liquidity pools are the backbone of many decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Users called liquidity providers (LP) add an equal value of two tokens in a pool to create a market.
In exchange for providing their funds, liquidity providers earn trading fees from the trades that happen in their pool, proportional to their share of the total liquidity. And the good news is that now anyone can become a liquidity provider in a straight-forward easy way.
So, if you’re looking for some passive income, this is a great way to start getting it. You can choose the specific pairs that you feel will be the most advantageous for you.
Now let’s take a look at a couple of flows within the DEX liquidity pool module.

Options DEX
Before diving into the exceptional advantages of the Options DEX, let’s see what an option is.
A call option is a binding contract that allows you (as the buyer) to buy an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a set time frame, while a put option is a binding contract that allows you to sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a set time frame.
With options, in order to get the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a predetermined price, you have to pay the option seller a price, which is called the option premium.
Besides buying & selling, Chainge will also allow its users to write options. Which is straight out astonishing! We will provide an online form for anyone to apply for the listing of options of a certain token with a requested exercising price. Once the option gets approved by the Chainge community by voting with CHNG (details about the voting process will be disclosed soon) the option will automatically be listed in the Chainge Options DEX.
