Galar Vault

Introduction to Galar Vaults

What are Galar Vaults?

Galar Vaults run an automated European options selling strategy, which earns yield on a weekly basis through writing at the money options and collecting the premiums. We use the Vault terminology because it stems from the idea of depositing your assets into a vault and earning a yield on them.

Users can simply deposit and the vaults will automatically start running a specific option strategy. This alleviates a majority of the gas problems by socializing the gas costs across all the vault depositors: instead of doing 3–4 transactions per week per user, the vault will do 3–4 transactions per week for thousands of users at once. This makes the user experience of using these Galar Vaults extremely straightforward and relatively cheap.

Galar Vaults also allow you to choose when to participate or not to participate in the weekly strategy through a withdraw function, so that you do not limit your usage options in relation to your market expectations.

There are two vault types currently active:

• Covered call selling: each week the vault issues ATM (at the money) call options on all deposits.

• Put selling: each week the vault issues ATM put options on all deposits.
