🎯 - Traders want to express views beyond direction. Path, speed, curvature, vol, everything must be tradable - Can’t import TradFi systems as is on-chain. This is critical for option-like instruments. An order-book setup shards every strike, every expiry into its own micro-market. Liquidity dies before it gets a chance Temporal ships primitives that allow the entire risk surface to be traded efficiently

its funny, interest rate derivatives today feel v complicated but they are actually simplifications of incredibly complex instruments used way back: parallel loans and currency swaps. simplification is the secular trend in finance. it went parallel loans -> currency swaps -> IRDs @TemporalFinance 's innovation respects the trend and further simplifies IRDs. allowing even TradFi to do more than they currently can

BREAKING: Tokenized US Treasuries Surpasses $3B Total Value Less than 90 days after reaching $2B, the tokenized treasuries market has added another $1B in value, driven by the success of Hashnote's USYC. At the start of 2024, it was less than $750M, bringing YoY growth to 300%.

we’re only just getting started.

e.g. of perpetual liquidity pools (PLP) in yield trading: a PLP serves as a counterparty to trades in PT / YT of a given asset, with any duration. So 1 sUSDe pool serves PT / YT trades of all durations (57d, 90d,...) This way, an LP doesn’t spread their liquidity across a multiple pools of the same asset, risking lower fees & the pain of rolling over. The trader gets a deeper pool to trade against & duration flexibility.

@TemporalFinance @0xNonAbelian we’re locked in 💪
