Company profile
researched Aug 2026Oddz is an on-chain derivatives trading protocol that combines options and perpetual swaps in a single interface. Its documentation describes a trustless platform for the creation, maintenance, execution and settlement of call and put option contracts, conditional token agreements and futures contracts, with stated features including customizable options via self-defined parameters, transparent premium calculation, on-chain settlement, guaranteed exercise during the holding period, non-custodial trading without KYC or email sign-up, and staking-based incentives. The documentation references use of Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot and Polygon.
On the perpetuals side, Oddz operates as an aggregator that routes to liquidity from third-party decentralized derivatives venues including GMX, Hyperliquid and Aevo, with the stated aims of one-click purchases using any held cryptocurrency, clearer disclosure of funding rates, additional leverage and margin support through Oddz Liquidity, and off-chain management of user positions to enable cross-leverage across protocols. The company also markets an "Oddz DEX" integration package intended to let other platforms surface options trading through the Oddz UI so their users can hedge crypto trades. Trading is described as available on Base and Arbitrum, with planned deployment on Bitcoin Layer 2 networks to lower costs and improve scalability. The protocol's native ODDZ token is described as the unit for protocol transaction fees, staking and yield farming, governance, referral bonuses and data-validation rewards, with a maximum supply of 100,000,000 tokens.
Founding story
The project was founded in late 2020 by Aishwarya Shivakumar, who previously held social media marketing roles at Indian companies including Etudemy and Laetus and holds a bachelor's degree in electrical, electronics and communications engineering from the Global Academy of Technology. Co-founder and CTO Shreedhar Shreenivasa had been a software developer at Uber, a tech lead at Practo, a UI developer at Flipkart and a front-end engineer at Cleartrip. Other named team members include principal engineer Krupa Sagar, senior software engineer Bhargav Kacharla (previously Rakuten, OpenText and Tata Consultancy Services) and chief business development officer Kantharaju Gowda (previously Bounce, RCube and Cleartrip).
Business model
Oddz operates a protocol-based model in which fees are generated from derivatives settlement and distributed within the ecosystem; documentation includes a section on fee collection and distribution, and stakers of the ODDZ token are described as earning a share of settlement fees alongside staking rewards. Liquidity providers supply capital to pools and receive option premium as rewards. A packaged "Oddz DEX" integration is offered to third-party platforms that want to embed options trading via the Oddz UI.
Protocol transaction and settlement fees denominated in the ODDZ token, a portion of which is distributed to stakers and liquidity providers.
Traction
Third-party token data lists roughly 9.27K holders, a circulating supply of about 98.99M of 100M ODDZ, total value locked of approximately $59.2K, and a market capitalisation near $12.95K with negligible 24-hour volume. The March 2021 initial DEX offering sold 900,000 tokens to what coverage describes as hundreds of supporters, against an initial circulating supply of 9,220,000 tokens (9.22% of aggregate supply).
Latest developments
The published roadmap sets out integrations with GMX, Hyperliquid and Aevo in May 2024, KTX in August 2024, an Oddz native perpetual with a perp chain testnet in October 2024, and mainnet launch of the Oddz perp chain with the native perp added as an aggregation partner in Q1 2025. The company also states plans to deploy on Bitcoin Layer 2 networks and to introduce additional leverage and margin support through Oddz Liquidity.

Market position
Oddz positions itself as a multi-chain options and perpetuals venue and aggregator, and states an intention to be the first perpetuals and options platform on Bitcoin Layer 2. Rather than competing purely on its own order flow, it aggregates liquidity from established perpetuals venues such as GMX, Hyperliquid, Aevo and KTX. Publicly tracked token metrics are small, with a market capitalisation in the low tens of thousands of dollars and roughly $59.2K of TVL as reported by CoinMarketCap, and the token trades far below its January 2022 all-time high.
Stated points of difference include offering options and perpetual swaps in one interface, aggregation across multiple perpetuals DEXs for price and liquidity comparison, one-click funding of positions with any held cryptocurrency, clearer presentation of funding rates and their effect on user funds, cross-margin and cross-leverage across protocols via off-chain position management, self-custody, customizable option parameters, zero gas fees for options trading, and an embeddable options UI for partner platforms.
Technology
The platform executes derivatives contracts on-chain across EVM networks, with the site citing Base and Arbitrum and planned Bitcoin Layer 2 deployments, and documentation citing Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot and Polygon. Design elements described include an aggregation and smart-execution layer that sources liquidity from external perpetuals DEXs, an in-built oracle for real-time market data, account abstraction, layer-2 and relayer approaches to reduce latency and gas costs, self-custodial position management, and off-chain position management intended to support cross-leverage across protocols. Contracts, a public GitHub organisation, an audit page and a bridge are referenced; an ERC-20 ODDZ contract is deployed on Ethereum.
Go-to-market
Distribution combines a direct web application for options and perpetuals trading with an integration package that places the Oddz options interface inside partner platforms. Ecosystem partner and backer sections appear on the site, and community channels include Telegram, Twitter/X, Discord, Medium and GitHub. Token distribution began with an initial DEX offering in March 2021 and included seed, private, early-supporter and public sale allocations, with staking rewards and referral bonuses used as user incentives.
Retail and self-directed crypto derivatives traders seeking options and leveraged perpetual exposure without custody or KYC requirements; liquidity providers and token stakers; and third-party DeFi platforms and exchanges that want to add options trading for their own users through the Oddz DEX package.
Geography
The site is operated under Corvell Labs Pvt Ltd; the leadership described in public coverage is India-based, and the founder holds an engineering degree from the Global Academy of Technology. The protocol itself is accessible globally and non-custodial with no KYC requirement.
History
Founded in late 2020 as a multi-chain options and derivatives protocol, Oddz published its whitepaper on 1 March 2021 and held an initial DEX offering on 18 March 2021. Early documentation described a trustless options, conditional-trade and futures platform spanning Ethereum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot and Polygon. The ODDZ token reached its all-time high in January 2022. The product subsequently expanded into perpetual swaps, with a 2024 roadmap covering integrations of GMX, Hyperliquid and Aevo (May 2024), KTX (August 2024), a native Oddz perpetuals chain testnet (October 2024) and a perpetuals chain mainnet plus native perp aggregation in Q1 2025.
Risks & controversies
Publicly tracked token metrics indicate very limited liquidity and scale: a market capitalisation of about $12.95K, reported 24-hour volume of $0, and a price roughly 100% below the January 2022 all-time high, with the all-time low recorded in March 2026. TVL is reported at about $59.2K. The protocol carries a CertiK rating of 3.2. Several roadmap items, including the native perpetuals chain and Bitcoin Layer 2 deployment, are stated as plans rather than delivered products, and the developer documentation was last updated four years prior to retrieval.
