About Deri Protocol

What is Deri Protocol (DERI)?

Deri Protocol is a decentralized crypto derivatives trading platform built to let users exchange risk exposures precisely and capital-efficiently on-chain. Described as "the DeFi way to trade derivatives: to hedge, to speculate, to arbitrage, all on-chain," the protocol executes trades under an open-source technology framework and is accessible across multiple networks. It operates on the Arbitrum platform and is also described as a smart contract based on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network and Huobi Ecological Chain, with accessibility on both the BNB Chain and Arbitrum. The native token, DERI, has a total supply reported at approximately 483.01 million according to CoinMarketCap, while the project's own documentation states the current total supply is 400,000,000 plus DERI minted throughout mining. Circulating supply is reported at roughly 124.69 million DERI. Deri Protocol was launched in February 2021 by Dfactory Ltd.; its CoinMarketCap listing date is 2021-02-11.

Who created Deri Protocol?

Deri Protocol was started by Dfactory Ltd., the issuing organization behind the project, in February 2021. The founding team members are 0xAlpha and Richard Chen; Zhang Wei and Yifan He are also listed as founders in some sources. The co-founders are 0xAlpha and Richard, both of whom graduated from Peking University. The team has a strong educational background, and the two co-founders hold very rich experience in the derivatives industry. The Deri team is noted for excellent financial and technical backgrounds, with the platform's foundation built on expertise in finance, mathematics, and computer science, ensuring it remains at the forefront of the field. The project is headquartered in Hong Kong.

How does Deri Protocol work?

Deri Protocol is a decentralized protocol for users to exchange risk exposures precisely and capital-efficiently. Trades are executed under an open-source technology framework and are accessible on multiple networks. The platform operates without intermediaries, allowing users to trade crypto derivatives directly on the blockchain. It supports four types of derivatives: Perpetual Futures, Everlasting Options, Power Perpetuals, and Gamma Swap. Everlasting Options trading is offered gas-free, letting users go long or short Calls and Puts, choose target strikes, explore funding strategies, and manage risk without expiry dates. The platform states that it integrates a Web3 version of a trading visualization tool for tracking and analyzing DeFi tokens. Trades are tokenized as highly composable NFTs and executed under the AMM paradigm, which is how the platform exchanges risk exposures on-chain. It caters to traders by offering a broad spectrum of blockchain networks to enhance flexibility and reach.

What makes Deri Protocol unique and valuable?

Deri Protocol is designed with all the defining features of DeFi and financial derivatives in its nature. Beyond cryptocurrency derivative trading, it also covers further derivative use cases. Its open-source framework and multi-network accessibility distinguish it from single-chain platforms, while its no-intermediary model lets users trade directly on-chain. The protocol's capital-efficient approach to exchanging risk exposures serves traders seeking to hedge, speculate, or arbitrage. Its gas-free Everlasting Options and the inclusion of Power Perpetuals and Gamma Swap broaden the strategic toolkit available to derivatives traders. The team's deep derivatives expertise and strong financial, mathematical, and computer science backgrounds underpin the platform's technical positioning.

What is Deri Protocol used for?

DERI is the native token of the Deri Protocol ecosystem, used within a decentralized crypto derivatives trading platform. The protocol itself serves traders engaging in hedging against market volatility, speculative investments, and arbitrage. Its four derivative types—Perpetual Futures, Everlasting Options, Power Perpetuals, and Gamma Swap—facilitate a range of trading activities. Users can go long or short Calls and Puts, choose target strikes, explore funding strategies, and manage risk without expiry dates through Everlasting Options. The platform also integrates a Web3-version trading visualization tool for tracking and analyzing DeFi tokens. According to TokenInsight, an earlier plan described a total supply of 1 billion DERI, 60% of which would be allocated; the current total supply reported by CoinMarketCap is 483,012,979 DERI.

How Is the Deri Protocol ecosystem developing?

Deri Protocol has pursued multi-chain expansion, operating on Arbitrum and described as a smart contract based on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon Network and Huobi Ecological Chain, with accessibility on both the BNB Chain and Arbitrum. A Mint Ventures Medium article titled "Deri Protocol: A lost pearl of the decentralized derivatives track" describes Deri as a decentralized derivatives trading platform and notes that Deri disclosed its pricing calculation logic and derivation process in detail. Deri Protocol also hosted an AMA on Everlasting Option Contracts, a livestream sponsored by the project. However, one source, Blockspot, notes that Deri Protocol ended its service in October 2025 and categorizes it under discontinued Ethereum token data, which indicates the project's operational status may have changed.

How to mine Deri Protocol?

DERI is not produced by proof-of-work mining. According to the project's documentation, the current total supply is 400,000,000 plus DERI minted through mining, and the mining portion has a total supply of 600,000,000, released over decades at a rate of roughly 0.8M DERI per week. Prospective participants should consult the official documentation at https://docs.deri.io/library/tokenomics for the most current details on token issuance.

How to keep your Deri Protocol Coin safe?

Security information should be verified through published audit reports and the project's bug bounty program; the CertiK rating of 3.6 shown on CoinMarketCap should not be read as a safety guarantee. Users retain control of their funds because trading is on-chain rather than through a centralized exchange; the project states it runs a bug bounty program and has undergone third-party security audits. The project's bounty was hosted on Cantina, where a notice states that Deri has removed all assets from the program scope and stopped accepting new findings. Users should still conduct thorough research and consider their risk tolerance before engaging in derivatives trading, as the volatile nature of crypto markets can lead to significant fluctuations in value.
