We spent two years developing Via Protocol, a cross-chain aggregator that helps users find the best ways to trade and transfer tokens across chains and protocols in the DeFi world. After many nights of hard work and long discussions, we had a finished product, which gained some good traction and, among other achievements, ranked second in the Web3 product of the year in the Golden Kitty Award 2022 by Product Hunt.

Delta neutral strategies are investment strategies used by traders and investors to achieve a delta-neutral position in the market. Let’s find out what this Delta is. In options trading, "Delta" is a Greek letter used to represent the sensitivity of an underlying asset price. Delta measures the rate at which the position cost changes in response to a $1 change in the underlying asset's price. If you've opened a call option at $1000 and simultaneously opened a short on the same asset at the same price, it means you have a delta-neutral position So the term "Delta Neutral" refers to a strategy or position where the overall delta in our case of a portfolio or possibly for a combination of options is close to zero, but this is more suitable for the traditional markets and trades. In other words, a delta-neutral position is designed to have a delta of zero or a very small value, indicating that the position is not significantly impacted by small price movements in the underlying asset. By achieving a Delta-Neutral position, traders aim to minimize or eliminate the exposure to price changes in the underlying asset, allowing them to focus on other factors, such as potentially profit from the Funding.

Perpetual contracts, similar to futures contracts in traditional finance, allow traders to speculate on the underlying assets with leverage without worrying about expiration dates or delivery risks. Traders deposit a margin to trade these contracts, and they can take both long and short positions on the assets. Perpetual contracts are implemented in various ways, ranging from centralized exchanges to decentralized exchanges (DEXs), but they typically share four key elements:

Zap is a new way of interacting with projects. This is a depositing method that allows you to bundle multiple transactions into a single one, saving you valuable gas and, most importantly, time. This way is particularly useful when trying to access a pool, farm, or vault, as it condenses what could have taken anywhere from 2 to 5 or even more than 6 transactions into a single streamlined process. With Zap, you can make transactions quickly and efficiently without having to navigate through multiple website screens or worry about the potential for errors or delays in frontends of projects. Whether you're a true crypto chad who has millions in staking or a newcomer to the world of digital assets, Zap is a powerful tool that can help simplify your daily UX and make your DeFi life easier.

When we talk about the best router, we don't want to get two or three DEXs and a few bridges. Instead, we want to know all the possible options for transferring token A on chain X to token B on chain Y.
