Factor DAO and Buffer Finance: Integration and Vault Partnership

Our next integration and vault partner is Buffer Finance. Factor is a modular DeFi asset management platform. Buffer is a non-custodial, exotic options trading platform. By working together this partnership opens up many new opportunities for DeFi on Arbitrum.

About Buffer Finance

Buffer has 2 components: $BFR real yield: stake tokens, earn a share of protocol revenue and participate in governance. Binary options: bet on short-term price movement. Winners exercise options against the pool, losers pay the pool. Both integrate well with Factor.

Partnership Benefits

Factor offers the building blocks for modular asset management vaults. We integrate assets such as Buffer to enable these protocols to optimize their products. We enable vault creators to utilize these products to create innovative strategies. The mutual benefits:

Integrations

  • Enables our Factor strategists to utilize Buffer products
  • Creates new use cases for Buffer products
  • Creates unique strategy options for Factor vault creators
  • Drives TVL and revenue to both Factor and Buffer

Vaults

  • Unique vault structures with one-click access to $BLP strategies
  • Potential to use upcoming Buffer options products for hedging
  • Drives additional TVL to Buffer via the partner vault
  • Factor and Buffer both earn vault fees as a revenue stream

We will start with a $BLP vault enabling one-click auto-compounding yield. As Buffer rolls out their longer timeframe options products it will be possible to launch additional vaults. These could include delta neutral or hedging vaults for consistent market-neutral yields.

We’re integrating with leading protocols to build the infrastructure and liquidity layer for DeFi. Buffer has brought an innovative and exciting product to market and we are delighted to be working with them. We’re looking forward to growing Arbitrum DeFi together.
