In Options Trading, What Might Be Considered a PoC for a New Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Feature?

A PoC for a new DEX options feature could involve creating a minimal smart contract on a testnet that only handles the core logic of a single options trade, such as the minting, exercise, and settlement of a simple call option. It would test the mathematical correctness of the pricing model and the efficiency of the collateral locking mechanism.

It does not require a full user interface or a large liquidity pool, only the core financial transaction logic.
