Might be a hot take, but I think we're overly infantilizing "retail traders" in general, but especially regarding the whole options UI/UX debate In an age of agentic trading and increasingly sophisticated retail traders, dumbing things down isn't the same as making options trading easier or more accessible. A big point to make here is that the on chain options sector as a whole, and particularly @DeriveXYZ here, actually benefits quite a bit more from builder codes and 3rd party front ends than perps platforms do. Perps UI/UX is largely solved imo. You can't really get much better than @HyperliquidX or @Lighter_xyz. Alternative front ends are cool for distribution, but the actual UI/UX is largely the same, and nobody really wants that to change much. Conversely, the "ideal" front end UI/UX for options is highly subjective. I love seeing the order book and I glean information from it. You might find it to be information overload and seizure inducing. I like a certain style of visual payoff simulator, you might prefer a written description. I've talked to a half dozen different teams who are building on top of @DeriveXYZ V3, and the opportunity for real differentiation and growing the pie is massive. Some are focusing on simpler UI/UX, some are looking at a more modular one, others are building prepackaged payoffs and structured products where the user doesn't even entirely know they're using options. A huge part of my @DeriveXYZ bull case is that a lot of you seem to think traders are too dumb to use options, without taking into account the rise of LLM idea generation with agentic execution and the alternative front end boom that's about to happen.
