At Derivio, we've been pioneers, relentlessly pushing the envelope and redefining the very fabric of onchain trading. Today, we're on the brink of an exciting new era — transitioning from our groundbreaking derivatives protocol, to Derivio Network. This bespoke network is tailored to augment Ethereum's capabilities, fully compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), and optimized to deliver superior performance and efficiency.”
