Staking Options is a library for use in the Dual Finance ecosystem. One of the core beliefs of Dual Finance is that options are a strictly better incentive for projects than just token rewards. Options better align incentives between participants and the project. Staking Options is a program that helps projects convert existing incentives and create new pathways to leverage option based rewards. The local validator tests in this repo should serve as a reference implementation.
Use the staking-options-sdk. Example integration in realms. Configure, then issue tokens, then withdraw after expiration.
Users who receive options can go to dual.finance and exercise their options whenever they want before expiration. We are focused on delivering a market for the staking options themselves if users want to immediately sell their options to stablecoins, rather than hold them to expiration.
