Why we’re building the options market for everyone — and why the next Robinhood will be onchain. 🧵

Tradfi options markets = largest financial market in the world.

But the infra is broken:

• margining
• mark-to-market
• settlement

Smart contracts + stablecoins are simply better.

Gamified Options onchain - @BaseVol on Base

But options markets thrive on liquidity.

And that liquidity must connect: Retail ↔️ Institutional.

Crypto is a retail-first market. That’s where we focus.

Robinhood cracked this in Tradfi:

• User-first UX
• Gamified 0DTE (0-day-to-expiry) options

→ Drove 60%+ of S&P500 options volume.

Crypto is following the exact same path — only faster.

Our journey:

→ Started as @stvol on @base (our first iteration).
→ Scaled as SuperVol with Soneium backing.
→ Became #1 options protocol with users across 150+ countries.

Now, we’re coming home — back to @base.

Bringing upgraded smart contracts, refined UX, and learnings from a global retail user base to our new brand, BaseVol @basevol 🧢.
