πŸ€”Why Itos?

"Sell me this protocol" - Jordan "Ludes" Belfort

Why not?

We're new, we're fresh, and we try to make things fun.

Whether you're here to try our some of our ultra-degenerate products like Wumbology or looking for serious long-term returns through smart investing (like The 2sAMM) we make sure our users are in charge, have all the information they need, and are aware of the risks and rewards.

We're built for the DeFi users who are ready to move beyond the basics. Most DeFi protocols lock users in to only one risk/reward profile when in reality there are infinite number of possible strategies. While most are admittedly pretty useless, plenty of smart and profitable strategies are getting ignored. So we do our best to offer as many useful strategies as possible while emphasizing certain features so Itos investors can make outsized returns.

Safety

The more gains you have, the more important capital preservation is. No one wants to start back at zero.

So we make sure that no matter what strategy you use, we offer:

  • hedges to guarantee floor values for your assets.

  • transparent data so you know your exact risks.

  • isolated portfolios so your risky investments don't affect your safe ones.

  • universal cross-margining. Net out any unwanted exposures.

Leverage

Leverage is often misunderstood as the opposite of safety but in reality they can be used in combination to great effect. These are the benefits of using leverage on Itos.

  • Hedging your leveraged position prevents liquidations.

  • Leverage can be applied to any strategy, not just perps.

  • Greater capital efficiency.

  • Higher levels of leverage (100+) can be achieved when the downsides are hedged.

Volatility

We offer tools to manage the volatility of your portfolio. Controlling volatility is extremely important for long-term investing because it allows you to:

  • Sell when you need to. Sometimes you need to sell quickly either to lock in gain or to capitalize on a new opportunity. If your portfolio's volatility is too high, it means you might be forced to sell in the middle of a dip.

  • Compound. Compounding is the open secret to building long term wealth. A volatile portfolio makes taking profits difficult to time which makes compounding hard.

  • Rebalance. It's more difficult to maintain the portfolio percentage allocations you want when the market value of those allocations swing wildly.

Innovation

We're traders ourselves and are always looking for the next opportunity which why:

  • We're willing to experiment with new assets.

  • Itos has a powerful suite of safety tools (both financial and operational).

  • The Itos Core can rapidly integrate the latest DeFi primitives.

  • Itos continually expands its set of strategies.
