Vitalik: Building index tracking assets based on options rather than debt is worth considering and trying

Abstract generation in progress
Crypto News: Vitalik posted on X platform stating that building index tracking assets based on options rather than debt is worth considering and experimenting with, i.e., using options as the foundation of DeFi rather than CDPs and liquidation mechanisms. This design can avoid severe and global liquidations caused by extreme price fluctuations, allowing exposure to the index to deviate from the preferred exposure in a smoother secondary manner. Its key advantage is that it does not require an instant oracle and can operate based on a slow oracle, predicting the type of oracle used by the market. The obvious drawback of this design is that it requires periodic rebalancing, and it remains to be clarified whether and how it can have sufficient slippage resistance. Vitalik added that compared to oracle mechanisms that must provide answers in real-time and may be induced to give incorrect answers without manual intervention, he believes that algorithmic stablecoins held within such mechanisms are safer.

Wait, where does the liquidity for options come from? Are market makers willing to participate in this?

The death spiral of algorithmic stablecoins is vividly in view, and option pegging sounds a bit more reliable.

Vitalik is back to guiding DeFi, exponential assets definitely need a good solution

Does rebalancing costs eat into the gains? Slippage issues need to be tested in practice.

The slow oracle point is very clever; finally, there's no need to watch on-chain prices to feed data.

Options hedging is indeed more stable than debt models; the chain reaction during liquidation is too frightening.
