FinNexus FAQs

What is FinNexus?

FinNexus is described as a protocol for buying and exercising options on cryptocurrencies, with pooled liquidity. Whether its trading interface and contracts are currently usable is unclear.

Which chains and assets does FinNexus support?

The protocol is associated with Ethereum, BNB Chain and Wanchain. The listed description names BTC, ETH, BNB, LINK, SNX, MKR and WAN as assets for options.

Is FinNexus safe to use?

Two audits are listed, but their names, scope, dates and findings are unknown. An audit count by itself does not show whether the contracts you might use were covered or whether the protocol remains safe.
