Panoptic

Panoptic is a groundbreaking perpetual options protocol built on Uniswap v3-style liquidity positions, enabling the permissionless creation and trading of any-strike, any-expiry options on any EVM token pair without the need for a traditional order book, options clearing house, or centralized counterparty. It represents one of the most technically sophisticated options primitives in DeFi, redefining how on-chain options are structured and priced. The protocol core insight is that Uniswap v3 concentrated liquidity positions are structurally equivalent to short-options payoff profiles.

Decentralized exchanges on Hyperliquid benefit from a structural advantage no other L1 offers: shared order book liquidity with HyperCore's native perp exchange. Panoptic operates in this space where AMMs and swap protocols provide the spot liquidity that the rest of the ecosystem depends on — from LST trading to token launches and long-tail asset price discovery. Sub-second block times make the trading experience comparable to centralized exchanges.
