Simply Explained: Premia (PREMIA)
In early 2022, we executed our $1 Quadrillion Bet series focused on the emerging, and oh so exciting, DeFi Derivatives sector. In the series, we discussed why we believe the decentralised finance sector is primed to take a huge market share from traditional finance. We highlighted the most interesting projects in the space, their fundamentals, and our price projections.
One of the projects we covered was Premia. For our detailed breakdown of Premia, check out our full report here. For a light read that discusses the basics of the project in a few minutes, settle into Simply Explained.
What is Premia?
Premia is a decentralised finance options protocol. It allows users to provide liquidity to, or buy and sell options from, a liquidity pool. Premia enables the trading of options, allows users to earn a market yield on DeFi assets and provides protection to users through hedging risk.Hold on, Cryptonary, what are Options?
Options are instruments that give holders the ability to purchase an asset at a set price at a certain point in the future. For a more detailed look at options, check out our guide here.Selling Options
Selling options is a more complex process than buying them. It requires specialist knowledge to decide on different metrics. Market makers and sophisticated traders use such strategies in traditional finance. This is highly complex and difficult for individuals to get into.DeFi platforms like Premia are allowing previously impossible things to become possible, such as allowing users to benefit from the returns of options, selling simply by depositing their assets into a pool.
Premia runs a peer-to-pool market-making model. This means that when you purchase an option on Premia, it is sold to you by the pool. This pool is a DeFi Option Vault (DOV), which other users deposit into. DOVs democratise the process of selling options and remove the requirement to match options between sellers and buyers. It also enables liquidity providers to earn passive yields without actively writing or managing options.

What does the PREMIA token do?
The PREMIA token serves two main use cases. Firstly, it is a revenue-sharing token that grants holders a small percentage of revenue produced by the company, which is currently around 2-3%. Secondly, it serves as a governance token through which holders can vote on certain proposals the team presents.Conclusion

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
