About Arrow Markets
Arrow Markets is a decentralized options trading platform built on the Avalanche blockchain. It combines an RFQ (Request for Quote) system with an AMM model, allowing users to trade options with competitive quotes from market makers. The core value proposition lies in its transparent, efficient, and user-friendly design, addressing the pain points of traditional options markets such as high intermediation costs, low liquidity, and complex workflows. By leveraging Avalanche's high throughput and low fees, Arrow Markets aims to democratize options trading.
Regarding the development in the past six months (2026-03-01 to 2026-09-01), there is no reliable public information available. No significant negative events have been reported in the last two years.
