Shrub Finance

Shrub.finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) exchange for trading cryptocurrency options.

Shrub options are American Style, which means that they may be exercised at any time, as opposed to European Style options which can only be exercised at expiry.

Shrub options are Physically Settled, which means that they are settled in the underlying asset of the option contract. For instance, if you exercised a CALL option with a strike of 1.00 USDC for MATIC, you would pay 1 USDC and receive 1 MATIC

Shrub makes use of a decentralized order book where users sign orders and emit them as events to the blockchain.

Because Shrub is order book-based, users have full flexibility in how to trade options as in a traditional platform. They may either buy or sell options at a price of their choosing or execute complex strategies such as spreads.

Shrub supports options for any pair of ERC-20 tokens, however, the decentralized app (DApp) will only show a curated selection of option combinations

Shrub Philosophy

Shrub was created with one fundamental thought at its core: "The only one in control of your money should be you".

With no misaligned incentives, no middleman, the capability of trading options for any ERC-20 token, and an intuitive UI, users are truly in control.

Buy, Sell, Calls, Puts - any options trade you would want, is available on Shrub.
