## 🌱 What is the Wasabi Protocol?&#x20;

**Wasabi** is a fascinating protocol that combines NFTs (non-fungible tokens) with derivatives. Let’s dive into the details:

#### 1. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)

* **NFTs** are unique digital assets. Unlike cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), where each coin is interchangeable, NFTs represent something specific and cannot be swapped for another.
* Think of NFTs as digital collectibles, art pieces, or even virtual real estate. Each NFT has its own distinct value and identity.

#### 2. Derivatives

* **Derivatives** are financial contracts based on an underlying asset (in this case, NFTs). They allow users to trade on price movements without directly owning the asset.

Imagine you want to bet on whether the value of a rare Pokémon card will go up or down - you could use a derivative contract to do that!

#### What does the Wasabi Protocol do?&#x20;

* **The Wasabi Protocol** brings NFTs and derivatives together. Here’s how it works:
  * **Wasabi Perps (Perpetual Contracts):**&#x54;hese are perpetual bets on NFT prices. You don’t need to own the NFT itself; you can just bet on its value.
  * **Wasabi Options:** These are like NFT insurance. You can buy an option that lets you protect your NFT investment or even make leveraged bets.
  * **Liquidity Aggregation:** Wasabi combines liquidity from different sources, making it easier to buy or sell NFTs.

Wasabi is like a  bridge between NFTs and financial tools. It makes NFT trading more accessible and safer for the wider crypto community. So whether you’re an art lover or just curious about NFTs, keep an eye on Wasabi! 🚀 Now lets explore how to use Wasabi with Looter! 🕹&#x20;

A **long position** refers to a scenario where a trader **buys an asset** (such as stocks or cryptocurrencies) with the expectation that its value will **increase over time**.

* **Buy and Hold**: In a long position, you purchase the NFT and hold it in your portfolio.
* **Profit from Price Appreciation**: You make a profit if the asset’s price rises. The goal is to sell the asset at a higher price than the purchase price.

A **short position** occurs when a trader **sells an asset they don’t own** (borrowing from Wasabi) with the expectation that its value will **decrease**.

* **Borrow and Sell**: In a short position, you borrow the NFT (in this case, the NFT from Wasabi) and immediately sell it in the market.
* **Profit from Price Decline**: You make a profit if the asset’s price falls. The goal is to buy back the asset at a lower price than the initial sale price.

Like any trading platform or crypto-currency token, Wasabi operates in a volatile market meaning prices of NFTs can **fluctuate rapidly, also affecting your positions rapidly!** Using Leverage amplifies gains but also magnifies losses.
