Why is There Benefit to Earning oSPHERE From the Ecosystem?

PreviousWhy an Options Token? NextStaking SPHERE for gSPHERE

Last updated 1 month ago

Ensuring the Consistency of oSPHERE’s conversion rate to SPHERE at the Floor Price orientates around the structural design of the bonding curve system, guaranteeing the perpetually elevated market price of SPHERE over the floor price. This holds significant implications for the status of oSPHERE call options. As these options possess a strike price equivalent to the floor price and the SHPERE asset invariably maintains backing equivalent to its floor price in $S (Sonic), the oSPHERE call options are logically poised to perpetually remain "."

This trait and unique benefit is further strengthened by the reduced risk to buyers when the market price aligns closely with the established floor value. The convergence towards the floor price serves to bolster the oSPHERE options' advantageous financial position. Buyers find it increasingly attractive to secure SPHERE near the floor price, capitalizing on the ability to employ it as collateral for borrowing $S with minimal risk. This escalated demand for SPHERE consequently propels its market price upward, thereby preserving the "in the money" status of the oSPHERE call options.

Sustainability

The existence of oSPHERE call options introduces a more sustainable model for token emission, as a means of incentivising acquisition of the protocol cPoL, especially when you compare this model with conventional yield farming incentives which ultimately lead to inflation of the token and devaluation of the underlying assets value. With SonicSpheres solution, the call options act as a maintenance balance of equilibrium, because they are intrinsically predisposed to consistently remain "in the money" as 1 SPHERE is perpetually ≥ 1 $S (Sonic) thus achieving this constant state of equilibrium. Moreover, as the cost of acquiring SPHERE approaches 1 $S, the acquisition assumes a near-risk-free aspect due to the borrowing mechanism our protocol offers with gSPHERE. This facilitates accessible voting power for opportunistic participants, generating an increase in the price of SPHERE, consequently reinstating the "in the money" status of oSPHERE.

This masterful finesse of financial engineering creates a self-reinforcing system of equilibrium, where the interplay between oSPHERE call options, the floor price mechanism, and protocol-owned liquidity drives sustainable value accrual. By ensuring that SPHERE consistently maintains or exceeds its intrinsic backing in $S (Sonic), the design fosters perpetual demand while minimizing downside risk. As participants leverage SPHERE for governance and collateralized borrowing through gSPHERE, the protocol achieves a dynamic balance—continually incentivizing participation, preserving the value of its assets, and maintaining the "in the money" status of oSPHERE options. This elegant cycle of incentive alignment and price stability exemplifies the sophisticated economic architecture at the heart of SonicSphere.
