DPX: The Dopex Governance Token

DPX is a unique, limited-supply governance token designed for the Dopex protocol, offering the opportunity for holders to vote on protocol and app-level proposals. Besides its primary role as a governance token, DPX also serves as a revenue generator, accruing fees from pools, vaults, and wrappers established on the Dopex protocol following every global epoch.

Dopex's Unique Option Pricing Model

Dopex has carved a niche for itself by utilizing a unique option pricing model that ensures fair pricing and efficient platform flow. The pricing model is calculated on-chain using the Black-Scholes formula, with implied volatility and asset prices retrieved through Chainlink adapters. The collected data is then run through a function to determine volatility smiles reliant on the realized volatility of the asset.

Addressing Market Challenges

Dopex has been successful in providing robust solutions to several market challenges such as low liquidity, unfair pricing, lack of composability, reduced user adoption, and unfair arbitrage opportunities, particularly during periods of high market volatility. All these solutions are expertly crafted without interrupting the buyer and seller experience.
