What Are the Specific Parameters That Would Be Committed in a Crypto Options Trade?

The parameters committed in a crypto options trade would include all the sensitive details that could be exploited by a front-runner. These typically are the contract size (number of options), the specific strike price chosen, the premium the user is willing to pay/receive, and the type of option (call/put, buy/sell).

The commitment is a hash of these parameters plus a unique salt, hiding the user's directional bias and trade size.
