In traditional finance, the Black & Scholes model has guided almost 50 years of derivatives pricing, defining a standard to model any volatility-based product. With the rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and constant product Automated Market Makers (AMMs), Liquidity Providers (LPs) are playing an increasingly important role in markets functioning, but, as the recent bear market highlighted, they are exposed to important risks such as Impermanent Loss (IL). In this paper, we tailor the formulas introduced by Black & Scholes to DeFi, proposing a method to calculate the greeks of an LP. We also introduce Impermanent Gain, a product that LPs can use to hedge their position and traders can use to bet on a rise in volatility and benefit from large market moves. |
