Pika

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

Pika is published as a versioned release inside the Pika Protocol protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Pika is a Derivatives protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Optimism. The codebase has been independently audited (2 reports on file).

Pika is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Optimism — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price discovery relies on 2 oracle providers (Chainlink, Pyth), which diversifies the data-feed surface but also expands the set of third parties users implicitly trust. Two audit reports are published on DeFiLlama, which is in line with typical practice for protocols at this scale.
