Premia Labs

Premia is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on Ethereum that enables peer-to-peer options trading and market making for ERC-20 tokens. It consists of a modular suite of upgradable smart contracts known as the Premia Protocol, which provides the foundational layer for creating, trading, and settling options contracts. On top of this base layer, the Premia Vault Depot offers additional smart contracts that support automated strategies, leverage, and risk management functionalities. Users can interact with the protocol through the Premia Interface, a web-based front end, or directly via smart contracts and APIs.

The protocol is designed to facilitate decentralized options trading without relying on centralized intermediaries, allowing users to create custom options markets and participate in liquidity provision. Premia Governance enables token holders to stake PREMIA tokens and participate in protocol governance decisions, influencing upgrades and parameter changes. This governance model helps maintain decentralization and community control.

Premia differentiates itself by combining a flexible, composable smart contract architecture with a focus on user-driven market making and risk management tools. Its modular design allows developers and institutional users to build custom strategies and integrations on top of the protocol. While primarily focused on Ethereum, Premia’s architecture supports composability with other DeFi protocols and third-party tools. Developers can get started by exploring the open-source contracts, SDKs, and APIs documented extensively in the Premia Developer Center. The protocol is actively maintained with community forums and ongoing updates.
