Zug, Switzerland – August 19, 2025 — Pascal Protocol, the clearing engine for DeFi’s real economy, has entered a strategic partnership with analytics and oracle provider Block Scholes to enhance risk integrity, capital efficiency, and pricing transparency across its on-chain derivatives infrastructure.

As Pascal prepares for its upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) in early September, this collaboration ensures Pascal’s risk models and margining systems are grounded in reliable, independent data — a critical requirement for institutional adoption.

Strengthening Risk Infrastructure

“This partnership strengthens Pascal’s commitment to deterministic, verifiable clearing infrastructure — the core of what risk management should be,” said Jules Ratcliffe, CFO & COO of Pascal Protocol.

“Block Scholes’ analytics enhance confidence in our model integrity, giving institutions and builders a reliable foundation to trade, integrate, and scale.”

Under the agreement, Block Scholes will become Pascal’s designated oracle and analytics partner, initially supporting Jetstream’s futures platform and Pascal’s upcoming options product. The roadmap includes:

• Deeper integrations across volatility surfaces
• Portfolio-level risk feeds
• Shared infrastructure for real-time backtesting

Institutional Alignment

“Pascal is solving a critical gap in DeFi: on-chain clearing that actually works at scale,” said Eamonn Gashier, Founder & CEO of Block Scholes.

“Our infrastructure is already powering most of the decentralized options market. Collaborating with Pascal allows us to extend that trust layer into a next-generation clearing protocol.”

Block Scholes currently supports over 80% of decentralized options volume and will co-author a technical paper in August alongside Pascal’s engineering team. The paper will detail Pascal’s architecture, portfolio margining logic, and roadmap for capital-efficient derivatives markets.

Momentum Ahead of TGE

The announcement comes as Jetstream, Pascal’s first derivatives venue, ramps up trading activity ahead of Q3 targets. With daily volume projected to reach $250 million and options scheduled to launch in 2026, Pascal is positioning itself as the on-chain clearing layer of record for institutional-grade DeFi.

Both Pascal and Block Scholes are backed by FunFair Ventures, reinforcing their long-term alignment to build transparent, trustless financial primitives for decentralized markets.

Conclusion

Together, Pascal and Block Scholes are laying the foundation for a new era of DeFi clearing: one that’s composable, capital-efficient, and built to scale.
