Stake Based Collateralization

Mechanism

Stake based collateralization functions as a structural arrangement within decentralized finance where market participants secure their derivative positions by locking native or synthetic tokens into a designated smart contract. This process replaces traditional margin requirements by leveraging the underlying utility of the staked assets to maintain solvency throughout the lifecycle of an option. The locked tokens act as a cryptographic guarantee against default, ensuring that the protocol remains over-collateralized without the constant need for fiat intervention.
