Who We Are

Ethena Labs is pioneering the development of the first ETH based yield-bearing synthetic dollar. Our team comprises experts from traditional finance and crypto engineering, with backgrounds from top firms like Cerberus, Wintermute, Flow Traders, Deribit, Paradigm, Aave, Blockdaemon, and Kaiko. We are supported by major exchanges and trading entities in the cryptocurrency space.

What We Are Doing

We are dedicated to building derivative infrastructure that enables Ethereum to evolve into the Internet Bond through delta-neutral derivatives positions. Our goal is to create sUSDe, the first crypto-native, yield-bearing synthetic dollar. This initiative is crucial as it aims to establish a synthetic dollar independent of traditional banking systems.
