Kwenta Decentralized Perpetuals and Options Contracts Exchange

Kwenta is a decentralized perpetual and options contract trading platform built upon Optimism. Compared to other defi crypto exchanges, Kwenta operates in quite a unique way. This is because Kwenta is one of the first multiplexer exchanges. But in a less ambitious form compared to the Mux protocol.

How is Kwenta a multiplexer exchange? Well, it is not; but there is a parallel:

1. Kwenta operates perpetual trading using the Synthetix Network with all settlements in USD.
2. Kwenta operates options trading using Lyra Network with all settlements in USD.

By tapping into Synthetix and Lyra liquidity, Kwenta can offer one of the largest pools of tradable assets in leveraged decentralized finance without the slow grind of LP pool accumulation.

Setting up on Kwenta

Kwenta runs on Ethereum’s Optimism L2 and exclusively denominates trades in Synthetix’s sUSD stablecoin.

To interact with Kwenta, you will use a decentralized wallet like Metamask on the Optimism chain.

This will require you to deposit or bridge assets to the Optimism chain you plan to utilize. You can do this by depositing directly to your Optimism wallet from an exchange like Coinbase or bridging assets from one chain to the Optimism chain.

Upon funding your Metamask wallet, you must convert funds to sUSD if you are not already natively sUSD. To do this, use the exchange directly on Kwenta.
