Aptos Blockchain Development Masterclass | Learn Move Programming From Scratch - Building an Options Trading dApp on Aptos: Understanding Options in DeFi | Ep1

In this first episode of our series on building a decentralized options trading platform on Aptos blockchain, we'll dive into what options are and why they're valuable both in traditional finance and DeFi. We explore real-world examples of how options work, from a farmer hedging wheat prices to a sneaker collector securing access to limited releases. You'll learn the difference between call and put options, how premiums and strike prices work, and why blockchain is the perfect platform for revolutionizing options trading. The video also includes an introduction to Aptos's object model, which we'll be using to build our smart contract, and a walkthrough of the key data structures we'll need for our options platform. Whether you're new to options trading or an experienced developer looking to build financial applications on Aptos, this video provides the perfect foundation for understanding what we'll be implementing in this series.
