zkEra Finance 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 across 3 chains, including zkSync Era, Telos, Metis.

zkEra Finance operates on 3 networks (zkSync Era, Telos, Metis), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (zkSync Era, Telos, Metis), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price discovery relies on 3 oracle providers (Pyth, Supra, DIA), which diversifies the data-feed surface but also expands the set of third parties users implicitly trust.
