Problem / Background: What inspired the idea? What problems are you solving?

I, personally, wanted to write covered calls (American Options as ERC20s) against my own token investments (ETH, UNI, etc). There was no defi protocol or infrastructure to be able to do that. So I set out to create it. I then found that Uniswap Hooks would be a good home for options and voila.

Impact: What makes this project unique? What impact will this make?

I believe if the pricing is done accurately and correctly, allowing folks to buy and sell options (and provide liquidity to sell options) will help stabilize the market. I think perps are cool, but 10x - 100x leverage and seeing massive cascading effects really shouldn't be happening, this can help solve it.

Challenges: What was challenging about building this project?

Flash Accounting, Universal Router (Solidity is a bit easier than the typescript approach), documentation is all over the place and ChatGPT hallucinates almost every time.

Team: Who is on the team? What are their backgrounds?

Mahmoud Lababidi is currently building defi protocols after 11 years in Machine Learning in fraud, Fintechs, and Defense. Prior, he received a PhD in Physics (Topological Superconductors).
