What is The Lyra Protocol?
The Lyra Protocol is a decentralized and self-custodial derivatives protocol built on a collection of smart contracts. It aims to provide a robust framework for trading derivatives such as options and perpetual futures. The protocol is designed to be trustless, with all margin calculations performed on-chain, governed by parameters set through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
Components of the Lyra Protocol
The Lyra Protocol comprises three main components, each playing a crucial role in its functionality:
- Accounts: These are user-held ERC-721 tokens that contain assets such as cash, derivatives, and base assets. All accounts must subscribe to a manager.
- Risk Managers: These entities govern the margin requirements of subscribed accounts. They are responsible for liquidating accounts that fall below the mandated margin requirements.
- Assets: These contracts specify the properties of various assets and derivatives, including options and perpetuals.
Additionally, a Security Module exists within the protocol. This module houses reserved funds used to cover insolvent debt in cases of trader bankruptcy. Traders pay fees via the managers, which help grow the Security Module.
Lyra Chain: A High-Performance Ethereum Rollup
Lyra Chain, an Ethereum rollup built using the OP stack, serves as the home of the Lyra Protocol. It enhances Ethereum's performance while inheriting its security. Lyra Chain is a permissionless smart contract platform, allowing for decentralized and efficient transactions.
To maintain security, Lyra Chain enforces a deployer whitelist system. Entities seeking to deploy contracts must undergo a vetting process by the Lyra DAO to ensure only pre-approved addresses can deploy contracts.
Main Products Offered by Lyra Protocol
Options
Lyra Protocol supports the minting and trading of European options for any expiry and strike price in supported markets. These options are settled to a 30-minute TWAP of the market's base asset price. Ethereum options are settled in USDC, marked to the ETH/USD price, while Bitcoin options use the BTC/USD price feed.
Perpetual Futures
Users can trade perpetual futures in supported markets. These futures are designed to converge with their underlying assets through a funding mechanism, where longs pay shorts if the perpetual trades at a premium, and vice versa. Lyra perpetuals are settled continuously whenever a user adjusts their position.
Spot Trading (Coming Soon)
The Lyra Protocol is set to support spot trading and multi-asset collateral. This addition will expand the protocol's flexibility and composability, allowing for more versatile trading options.
Collateral and Quote Asset
The protocol's main collateral asset is USDC, which supports option and perpetual positions. An intrinsic lending market allows users to borrow USDC, creating a dynamic where interest paid by debited accounts is distributed to credited accounts, with a portion allocated to the Security Module.
Lyra DAO: Governance and Structure
The Lyra DAO governs the protocol, comprising five key components:
- Governance: Facilitates interactions between service providers, the protocol, and the treasury.
- Token: The ERC20 token enabling decentralized governance.
- Protocol: The smart contracts forming the self-custodial derivatives protocol.
- Treasury: Funds used for protocol maintenance and improvement.
- Service Providers: Independent entities maintaining and improving the protocol.
Migration to $LDX
The Lyra Protocol is transitioning from the LYRA token to the LDX token. A snapshot of LYRA balances taken on May 8 will determine the initial LDX balances. This new token will align incentives across the expanded Lyra Derivatives Network, encompassing Lyra Chain, Lyra Protocol V2, Lyra Exchange, and the forthcoming Lyra Wallet.

Project Development
Lyra V2 has revolutionized capital efficiency in DeFi by introducing portfolio margin, cross-asset collateral, and multiple accounts for traders. Portfolio margin on Lyra V2 offers unparalleled capital efficiency by evaluating the overall risk of a trader's positions, allowing up to 5x more buying power and leverage, and supporting advanced risk-management strategies. The introduction of cross-asset collateral allows users to trade without converting base assets into stablecoins, using them as collateral instead. This innovation enhances trading flexibility and efficiency by enabling diversified collateral pooling and streamlined trading of pairs and cross-asset volatility. Lyra V2 supports creating up to 32 subaccounts, facilitating risk compartmentalization and tailored strategies. The new features collectively enable sophisticated trading strategies like multi-leg options, horizontal spreads, and dynamic hedging, with reduced margin requirements.
