# Panoptic

> Effortless crypto options

Panoptic is a permissionless, perpetual options protocol on Ethereum that lets users trade or provide liquidity for put and call options on any ERC-20 token without relying on oracles.

Panoptic offers an oracle-free, instant-settlement options marketplace built around Uniswap v3 and v4 liquidity. Its smart contracts let anyone mint, trade, and market-make perpetual put and call options on any token pair, giving traders capital-efficient strategies and liquidity providers additional yield while mitigating impermanent loss. Now live on Ethereum, Base, and Unichain, Panoptic positions itself as a DeFi primitive for derivatives across EVM networks.
