# What Makes Us Different?

* Novel and simple optionality feature
* No peer-to-exchange risk
* No peer-to-pool or non-participating party risk
* Capital efficient with leverage ratio as high as 20x
* Off-chain order book management and on-chain clearing and settlement
* Further derivatives products will be safely built on top of DBOE options given its self-contained risk management
