Thetanuts is Live on Cronos!
Thetanuts is now live on Cronos!
Users can begin depositing into CRO Covered Call and Put vaults earning sustainable yield with their CRO and USDC. The integration with Cronos marks a significant step in making DeFi accessible to one of the biggest consumer driven communities via Crypto.com
Background
Thetanuts is a multi chain protocol looking to provide accessible yield generation opportunities for the everyday user. The deployment on Cronos provides Thetanuts an opportunity to access a rapidly growing customer base of ~10 million users who can on-ramp and access DeFi seamlessly.
The current DeFi user experience can be challenging for the everyday user. Although there has been many MetaMask downloads and greater awareness. We see that with the strong partnership with Crypto.com, Cronos ecosystem creates a low friction onboarding process via Crypto.com’s suite of products and services.
Crypto.com currently supports more than 100 major tokens. This allows the Cronos ecosystem and Thetanuts to on-ramp wrapped versions of various major tokens onto Cronos chain to create DeFi Option Vaults for the various Alt-coins.
This programme begins with CRO. More to follow.
Accessing Thetanuts
Users can begin to stake their CRO on Thetanuts by connecting their MetaMask wallets and selecting Cronos chain. There, users can select the vaults that they are interested in and deposit their collateral.
Defi Option Vaults earn yield for users by selling options to whitelisted marketmakers. The upcoming CRO vaults will sell options starting from 14 January 2022 0930 UTC onwards.
Deposit before 0930 UTC to be part of the yield generation. The APY will be generated when the Marketmaker pays the premium into the vault. These vaults are currently rolling bi-weekly. Enabling depositors to earn a round of yield every two weeks.
