What Is Buffer ($IBFR)?
Buffer is a BNB chain based non-custodial on-chain peer-to-pool options trading protocol that works just like an Automated Market Maker (eg: PancakeSwap) where traders can create, buy and settle options against a liquidity pool without the need of a counterparty (option writer).
You can participate in the protocol ecosystem by following ways:
- Buy $iBFR token and hold to earn perpetual revenue share, stake to earn liquidity mining rewards, and vote for features or burn to participate in our milestone-based buybacks
- Become a liquidity provider and earn yield over your BNB, WETH, and WBTC holdings on Binance Smart Chain. (More BEP-20’s coming soon)
- Buy customizable options by customizing strike prize, option size, and expiry date
- Participating in prediction games by predicting BNB's price movement to buy options
- Buy insurance on your BNB holding to protect yourself from sudden price fluctuation.
