FAQ
Options are available on major crypto assets, with the live list shown in the app at the moment you trade. Available markets and strikes can change over time as third-party liquidity venues add or retire them.
Yes. Trades execute on-chain through audited DeFi protocols, and Moneva is self-custodial software, not a bank or a custodian. Your assets stay in a wallet only you control, and every position is opened with your passkey or biometric approval. Moneva never takes custody of your funds.
A call gives you the right to benefit if the asset rises above your chosen strike by expiry, which suits a bullish view or upside exposure. A put gives you the right to benefit if the asset falls below your strike, which is useful for a bearish view or for hedging assets you already hold. In both cases your cost is the premium you pay up front.
Pricing comes from third-party liquidity venues that the protocols connect to, so the premium reflects live market conditions when you open the trade. Settlement happens on-chain at or before expiry based on the asset's price relative to your strike, and any proceeds return automatically to your single Moneva balance.
Yes, you can lose the full premium you paid. If an option expires without value to you, the premium is not returned. Options are advanced, volatile instruments, prices can move sharply, and you should only trade amounts you can afford to lose. Moneva provides self-custodial software and does not give financial advice.
Beyond the premium, you may pay network gas to execute on-chain and protocol-level fees set by the underlying venues. Any Moneva fee is shown clearly before you confirm, so you can review the full cost of a trade before approving it.
