Buffer Prime Club
Let's introduce Buffer Prime Club, the hangout for our loyal Optopi holders, to the program in this private group.
The BPC is a tight-knit community that brings together people from all walks of life, in this group you’ll will find trading experts, analysts, quants and artists.
The main idea is to gather all our members around a major issue which is to democratize the access and practice of options trading for everyone.
The spirit of sharing is at the heart of our values and that's why you can find many advantages to be a member of this group, you can expand your network, find exclusive information, stay informed on the next alphas, learn trading, share your technical analysis. Everyone can put his know-how and skills at the service of others, isn't that nice?
If you are already in the family, you can join us directly by using Guild.xyz and connecting your wallet on the following link.
But if you don't have an Optopi NFT yet (we don't blame you), you should definitely take care of it. Take a look at the offers on Opensea and make your choice among these beautiful little octopuses.

You can then have the chance to be rewarded, either in USDC or in Optopi NFTs. And then hold on tight... you can win these rewards whether you are among the traders with the highest PNL or the lowest, yes, you heard me right, even if you are the worst trader you can still earn these rewards.

We won't go into detail on the subject but if you want to learn more we have written an article about it available right here.
Factor DAO partnership
To put this in context, in the last few days we have heard a lot about Factor DAO all around the Arbitrum space, simply put Factor is a modular DeFi asset management platform.
This collab will allow Factor users to utilize our products, create new use cases for our products while directing a large TVL flow to our respective projects. It is also planned to implement one-click access to $BLP strategies vaults, allowing users to benefit from a revenue stream generated by the fees collected.
We had a discussion about this collaboration and you can listen to the recording of our exchanges.
If you are not familiar with this promising new project, you will find all the important information on this link.
Perpy Finance partnership
This partnership introduces a new aspect to Buffer, Social Trading. This allows Perpy users to exploit the full potential of our products. This synergy allows the implementation of copy-trading strategies.
If you wish, you can find out more about this collaboration and apply its advantages by visiting the Perpy Finance website.
