Two and a half years ago, we had a clear vision of where the industry was headed. While others debated, we built. Thanks to our incredible engineers, that vision became a reality. We’re not just ahead of the curve. We’re defining it. Strands today, is our competitors 2 to 5

Strands just crossed $16 billion in total notional tokenized. When you bring together the best engineers in the world, great things happen!

Thank you again to the @Optimism Grant Council, Milestones & Metrics Council, and especially @ohishi. Strands is currently powered by @Velodrome, @derivexyz ,@Uniswap, and @Aerodrome as we keep pushing forward to build the future of on-chain fintech.

The Builders Grant helped us ship OP-specific features & execution venues like Velodrome, the subsidized Audit made sure our smart contracts are secure. The Experimental Derivatives Grant rewarded our users with $OP when they opted into tokenizing CME Futures trades on Optimism.

Strands is building tools that don’t currently exist onchain, and thanks to three grants from the @Optimism Grants Council: Builders, Audit, and Experimental Derivatives, we’ve been able to make serious progress on OP Mainnet.

Huge shoutout to the Milestones & Metrics Council and the incredible @ohishi for all the support, and of course to the @Optimism Collective for continuing to back teams building onchain.
