How it works

• From The Block (18-3-2021):

"Vega claims to be building a capital-efficient decentralized derivatives trading protocol that would allow anyone to create and launch a derivatives market.

Mannerings said capital-efficient means a trader's capital is used efficiently and that the protocol does not need any more funds to be locked up for margins than is necessary. "This is incredibly important for traders as the cost of capital to fund a position can make the difference between whether it's worth trading or not," he said."
