It’s hard to believe that 2022 is coming to an end!

It’s been a year of ups and downs for crypto but for Buffer… it’s been a year of consistent growth… 2022 was a year of record-breaking metrics, innovation, and of a community in the making.

Since we’re all feeling a little sentimental, it would be the perfect time to take a step back to reflect and appreciate all that we have achieved and learned together.

At-the-money: Vision-aligned Products

Abstracting the complexity of options to provide users with simplified exposure to an option's trading and hedging properties has always been our beacon while developing the Buffer protocol.

In April of 2022, we shared the first version of Buffer V2 - a capital-efficient, simplified, and customizable options protocol. During the same time, we launched the DDOVs, and Call Boosters, which gained significant traction over the summer within the Degen Community.
