Deri Protocol FAQs

What can you trade on Deri Protocol?

Deri advertises everlasting options: you can go long or short calls and puts, choose target strikes, and hold positions without a fixed expiry. It also mentions funding strategies, but detailed trading rules are not clear.

Is Deri Protocol really gas-free?

No. The site describes trading as gas-free, but that does not establish that using Deri has no costs. It does not publish a complete fee schedule in the details available here; check for trading, funding and network costs before opening a position.

Is Deri Protocol safe, and which chains does it support?

The site does not identify its currently supported chains or explain its custody arrangements, audits or licensing. Treat those points as unverified and check the app and its documentation before connecting a wallet or depositing funds.
