Opium.exchange SDK
At the beginning of the month we launched the first version of the oex-js SDK — built on top of the Opium Exchange API. This is just another example of how we are building to improve the developer experience of Opium Protocol.
The use-cases for our new SDK range from building trading bots and market-making bots, to easy integrations with custom trading frontends. As market-making and LPs are currently all the rage in the Ethereum landscape today, we expect our SDK to contribute to enriching the Opium ecosystem and also the overall DeFi derivatives space.

Contributing to crypto open-source
Every once in awhile our team stumbles upon an opportunity to contribute to open-source software development in DeFi. Last week our CTO Ali Nuraldin found a UX security treat when using his Ledger with Gnosis Safe. He implemented a script to mitigate the issue by enabling verification of Gnosis safe transactions using Ledger hardware.
The script is available for anyone to use and implement—check out the Tweetstorm below for more details.
Liquidity mining program under development!
As featured in our whitepaper, Opium Protocol will soon move towards decentralized governance with its own governance token. One major feature that we’ll introduce on top of this infrastructure is a liquidity mining program that will be essential to bootstrapping liquidity on Opium Protocol and making our products even more useful to users.
We’ve been inspired by the various types of implementations for liquidity mining seen in the past couple of months, and we’re excited to announce that Opium will allow for both off-chain liquidity mining (through integrations with market making bots such as Hummingbot) and on-chain liquidity mining (through a simple web interface usable by the average DeFi user).
Our development team has made a lot of progress this month so stay tuned for the announcement which will drop soon in our Telegram chat.
