In the case of cash collateral, the company mentioned that the consumers will witness minimized charges for the AMM. While discussing the tighter spreads, Lyra disclosed that the traders will have lower fees to be paid. The 3rd important thing is modular design signifying that the platform will have extended deployment capability. Lyra asserted that the collateralization of short positions on the platform will be partially done by MMVs.
As per the firm, the cash will eradicate the requirement to recompense swapping charges for each delta hedge and trade. The respective costs were around $800,000 during the previous six months. Now, they will be moved to the liquidity providers, as per Lyra. In the platform’s words, because of the lower hedging costs and collateralization, tighter spreads will be witnessed.
Exchange Gets Increase Compatibility with L2-based perpetual Exchanges
The exchange disclosed that the hedging module of Lyra can presently have compatibility with any of the perpetual exchanges based on any Layer 2.

Lyra MMVs, with the exclusive upgrade, are permitted to collateralize the short positions partially with cash. This eradicates the requirement for swapping to the core asset and rather uses perpetuals for the collateralization and delta hedge.
