  • It sells zero-day options on BTC with dynamic risk control and daily drawdown caps. Users deposit into a yield-optimized vault, while A.T.M. handles trade sizing, hedging, and settlement.

Why Genesis Vault

So, option selling funds are booming - both in TradFi and crypto. But due to the nature of options, strategies are often either too risky of too conservative.

The problem seen in previous crypto options vaults is the weakness towards tail cases of market crashes. Such funds / vaults suffered from irrecoverable drawdowns, making them insufficient for long-term investments.

With ATM’s Genesis Vault, we can do it better though 0DTE (<24hr expiry) options. While other options selling strategies face unlimited losses, 0DTE strategies have capped downside risks.

Resulting in a higher APR (one of the highest on Base) and limited drawdowns.

In short, Genesis Vault brings the same proven options vault mechanics on-chain, but faster, fairer, and composable:

  • It sells 0DTE options (expiring within 24 hours), enabling faster turnover and compounding.

  • Downside is capped, unlike traditional weekly or monthly sellers exposed to extended volatility.

  • Execution and settlement are fully on-chain, ensuring transparency and real-time data access for both users and AI agents.

Operations

  • Strategy is rebalanced daily at 8:00 AM UTC

  • Pending Deposits and Redeems are settled on this time

  • Note: Deposit / Redeem requests are paused between 7:00~8:00 AM UTC daily.

*BaseVol Vaults use active trading strategies that carry risk. Returns are not guaranteed, and you may lose some or all of your deposits. There is no compensation in case of loss. By depositing funds to these vaults, you confirm that you understand and accept such risks.
