Episode notes
Bringing OTC Basis Yield On‑Chain
- Neutral brings private-market OTC basis strategies on-chain, combining discounts, funding rates, and staking yield into a new crypto-native product.
- This unlocks previously exclusive market-maker arbitrage opportunities for broader DeFi users with audited transparency and zk custody proofs.
Prove Yield Before You Scale Caps
- Show product-market fit by delivering real yield before broad distribution to build trust with cautious investors.
- Use private capacity and staged public caps to scale responsibly and avoid cold-start liquidity issues.
How Locked‑Token Basis Generates Extra Yield
- The trade blends buying discounted locked tokens from foundations with shorting perps across venues, capturing both discount unwind and funding/staking yield.
- That extra margin makes private OTC basis richer than public delta-neutral basis strategies.
