We are beyond excited to introduce Antimatter DAO, a club for derivatives fanatics and a collaborative workplace for innovative on-chain derivatives applications, with features including on-chain governance, multi-party treasury management, academic resources sharing, and new model experiments.
Upon its establishment, Antimatter DAO has welcome the joining a number of pioneering practitioners in financial derivatives. Among them,
Tekin Salimi, the general partner of Polychain Capital and a strong believer and advocate of DAO. Salimi believes that the continued use of DAOs to be of the utmost importance to the next evolution of the blockchain industry.

Why We Created Antimatter DAO?
When Antimatter was founded in early 2021, our primary goal was to build innovative models to revolutionize derivatives in decentralized finance. Inspired by Uniswap, Antimatter abandoned the traditional order book and oracle-based model, and embarked on the adventure of exploring the ways to revolutionize the derivatives market. Black-Schole’s model did the same for traditional derivatives, and now we are focusing on DeFi.
Over the past few months, we have been working actively with people with various academic background to build Antimatter’s first original perpetual option model. They include Mathematics and Economics and Finances PhDs and professors from the US, the UK, and China. Without this interdisciplinary and international team, Antimatter wouldn’t have been born. Throughout this journey, we experienced first-hand the need to create a DAO for Decentralized Derivatives, due to the following findings:
- Academia is interested in exploring new derivative models;
- The growth of DeFi needs new innovations that are not simply copy of other protocol;
- The DeFi new models need the knowledge base of traditional finance;
- There is currently no environment for communication and discussion of new models.
In short, Antimatter DAO is a place where academia and enthusiasts alike can exchange opinions and experiment together, with the single unified goal: to push the development of derivatives in DeFi.
