Project Description:

Ithaca is a Non-Custodial, Composable Option Protocol.

Ithaca is the first protocol across any chain that allows complete, composable option, structured product and lending markets on any underlying. Through innovations in financial engineering, Ithaca markets benefit from ‘self-enhancing liquidity’, meaning that they get more “bang for their liquidity buck” relative to traditional continuous limit order book markets.

The Ithaca Ecosystem will encompass:

  • An Option Trading Protocol
  • An Algorithmic Market Maker
  • A Collateral Optimization Engine
  • Cross-chain interoperability powered by Axelar
  • A market-clearing consistent margin lending & liquidation mechanism
  • Decentralized Protocol Governance.

What novelty or innovation does your product bring to Arbitrum?

Ithaca’s innovations are significant not only in Arbitrum, but across DeFi and TradFi too.

The Ithaca Protocol is underpinned by a matching engine that decomposes and recomposes financial products using their fundamental risk building blocks. Orders, including conditional orders on structured products, are matched by the engine at their atomic level. This means the engine can “find liquidity” across different products as long as they share risk characteristics. It does that by using replication, portfolio dominance, and collateral optimization principles.

The engine’s design shortcuts liquidity bootstrapping, which should shorten the time to reach institutional-level scale in on-chain options markets. Currently, option markets are hampered by low liquidity and fragmentation across blockchains. Meanwhile, no true innovation is happening in risk-sharing mechanics across the crypto ecosystem. Ithaca not only brings that much needed innovation to crypto in general, but it does specifically within the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Key Innovations:

  • Decomposition of Option Payoffs: Simplifies complex option trades into basic elements, rendering trading and risk management more transparent and enhancing liquidity.
  • Atomic Matching and Conditional Orders: Supports dynamic trading strategies with atomic trades and conditional intent based logic, offering a significant improvement over traditional trading systems.
  • Efficiency and Risk Management: Utilizes replication, portfolio dominance, and collateral optimization to use capital more efficiently and improve risk management, reducing further capital requirements and boosting liquidity, while maintaining trustlessness.
  • Cross Chain Liquidity Aggregation & Interoperability: Designed to pool liquidity from various blockchains, addressing liquidity fragmentation and expediting the growth of on-chain options markets by using Axelar to bridge assets from supported blockchains directly onto Arbitrum.
  • Composable Risk Primitives: Facilitates swift market setup for diverse products on any asset, rendering option markets more versatile and robust.

Our long-term goal is to leverage our innovative tech stack to ensure Arbitrum becomes the home of DeFi Options trading. We will aggressively continue to grow & refine our product on Arbitrum to capture new users, migrate Options market makers on-chain, grow DeFi Option volumes, increase TVL, and meaningfully contribute to Arbitrum’s sequencer revenue.

Let us imagine the possibilities.

The Crypto Option Market can easily grow by 10-50x. This would bring crypto options at par with equity derivatives for example. Within that universe DeFi can easily capture a much bigger percentage of volumes than what is happening now. The examples of both spot DEXs but also perp DEXs, are instructive, inspirational and imminently achievable.

Ithaca can help Arbitrum capture a significant portion of a market that can easily grow 100-500x ( 10-50x as per above, 10x defi as Proportion of CeFi ), even with crypto outright not necessarily increasing in value, just with market maturity but also a platform that allows all the instruments and functionalities that empower users to be made accessible.

An ecosystem that is already dominating DeFi: Arbitrum

A protocol that can uniquely create new products ( which are the products that define much bigger market reality in other asset classes ): Ithaca

A market poised for explosive growth, whatever happens to crypto as such, but which growth can only be harnessed by bringing together Arbitrum’s ecosystem and Ithaca’s financial engineering innovation

Multiple crypto underlyings, all types of payoffs, but also any underlyings where options would naturally be desired but TradFi liquidity and infrastructure haven’t been generated yet; Arbitrum and Ithaca can be trailblazers launching liquid derivative markets for DeSo, DePin, GPU as a Service, Carbon credits.

This is the vision we want the Arbitrum community to rally around, as the stakes are high and the reward immense.

Is your project composable with other projects on Arbitrum? If so, please explain:

Ithaca enhances its composability within the Arbitrum ecosystem through the integration of Axelar for seamless cross-chain bridging. This approach allows for the effortless transfer and automatic conversion of assets from various blockchains into WETH and USDC on Arbitrum. Such functionality not only simplifies the user experience by providing a unified gateway for asset transfers but also ensures immediate interoperability with the rest of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

We are planning to explore integrations with Arbitrum native Perp DEX Protocols, for instance GMO as well as Borrowing / Lending / Restaking Protocols, for instance Open Dollar.

Do you have any comparable protocols within the Arbitrum ecosystem or other blockchains?

Premia Blue, Dopex and Rysk Finance are Option Protocols on Arbitrum. However, we believe our offering to be unique in a number of ways:

  1. The matching engine innovations mentioned above.
  2. Ithaca uses Frequent Batch Auctions vs CLOB ( continuous limit order book ). Frequent Batch Auctions are recognized as a solution to MEV/Front-running issues.
  3. Ithaca offers Digital Options (fixed payout options) , which can be combined with Vanilla Options and Forwards and therefore provide expression to all statically replicable structured products.
  4. Ithaca can be described as an Algorithmic Market Making protocol as opposed to an Automated Market Maker (AMM) based one.
  5. Finally, our UI has won plaudits for its elegance, its ease-of-use, and its relevance for every type of user, novice or experienced, occasional or professional.

How do you measure and think about retention internally?

Key Metrics:
User Retention Rate: Track the number of users engaging with the protocol (e.g. depositing funds, placing orders, executing trades, participating in governance) over specific periods (daily, weekly, monthly) on a recurring basis.

Transaction Volume: Assess the total volume of transactions over time to measure sustained economic activity.

Relevant usage metrics - Please refer to the OBL relevant metrics chart . For your category (DEX, lending, gaming, etc) please provide a list of all respective metrics as well as all metrics in the general section:

General:

  • Daily Active Users
  • Daily User Growth
  • Daily Transaction Count
  • Daily Protocol Fee
  • Daily Transaction Fee
  • Daily ARB Expenditure and User Claims

Options

  • TVL (on FundLock)
  • Trading Volume
  • Open Interest
  • List of Traders
  • Fees

Do you agree to remove team-controlled wallets from all milestone metrics AND exclude team-controlled wallets from any incentives included in your plan: YES

SECTION 3: GRANT INFORMATION

Detail the requested grant size, provide an overview of the budget breakdown, specify the funding and contract addresses, and describe any matching funds if relevant.

Requested Grant Size: 350,000 ARB

Justification for the size of the grant :

Incentive Program Summary

Incentive Pool ARB Amount Grant %
Volume Program 330,000 94%
__Options 180,000
__Digital Options 120,000
__Forwards 30,000
User Acquisition Program 20,000 6%
TOTAL 350,000 100%

Two Incentive Programs

1. Volume Program

Program Summary :

  • Incentivize market making → tighter markets → more trades → increased volume
  • Innovative incentive design:
    • Incentives focused on specific products where liquidity is most needed, remembering matching engine provides more bank for each liquidity buck
    • Incentives focused during daily “focal auctions” to maximize matches as the market starts. Focal auctions are designated auctions that take place daily at 12:00 hrs UTC and at options expiry.
  • Total: 330,000 ARB
  • Duration: 12 weeks with 27,500 ARB per week,
  • Target overall volume on platform
    • 100k daily when program starts
    • $3m daily at program midpoint start of week 7
    • $10m daily at program end
  • Incentivized products
    • Sold outermost out-of-the-money call option and digital call option strikes
    • Sold innermost out-of-the-money put and digital put strikes
    • Next Auction and Dated Forwards

Sizing the Volume Program

  • For each incentivized product we calculate the number of auctions incentivized per day
  • E.g. strikes x expiries x sides x products x auctions
  • We assume for each auction 1 ETH volume needs to be incentivized
  • We estimate the opportunity cost of the collateral requirement for each position
  • The incentive is then sized to incentivize collateral posting for those specific products
    • Volume incentive for Calls & Digital Calls = 4k ARB
    • Volume incentive for Puts & Digital Puts = 1k ARB
    • Volume incentive for Forwards = 1k
  • Total: 6k ARB incentive per day x 84 days = 504k ARB
  • The incentive can, however, be reduced as volumes ramp up and as protocol will eventually offer yield on deposits for collateral holders reducing opportunity cost.
  • Thus, conservatively, we are asking for 330k ARB for the overall volume program

2. User Acquisition Program:

Program Summary:

  • Migrating Wallets → min TVL → Trades → Real users
  • 20,000 ARB to be distributed to users from other DeFi protocols who execute a trade and maintain a minimum TVL of 0.5 ETH for the period. The incentive is per user, not per trade.

User Acquisition Program Size:

  • We assume an average customer acquisition cost of $8 for the first 5k users. That translates to 40k to get the initial momentum, or ~20k ARB. As with the volume pool, this incentive is self-equilibrating as it is higher when the number of users is smaller, but goes down as more users join. However, a maximum incentive per user will be enforced in case only few users join.

Grant Matching:
None

Grant Breakdown:
As per above table, the breakdown summary of the grant is split between volume and user acquisition incentives. 94% of the grant will be used for volume incentives and 6% for user acquisition.

SECTION 4: GRANT OBJECTIVES, EXECUTION AND MILESTONES

Clearly outline the primary objectives of the program and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), execution strategy, and milestones used to measure success. This helps reviewers understand what the program aims to achieve and how progress will be assessed.

Our long-term goal is to leverage our innovative tech stack to ensure Arbitrum becomes the home of DeFi Options trading. We will aggressively continue to grow & refine our product on Arbitrum to capture new users, migrate Options market makers on-chain, grow DeFi Option volumes, increase TVL, and meaningfully contribute to Arbitrum’s sequencer revenue.

Summary:

  1. Volume: Increase transaction volumes on Ithaca Protocol. Target: $10m daily Volume.
  2. User Growth: Increase number of active users. Target: 5k monthly active users

Volume Details:

We project to have $100k of daily volume at the start of the program. We believe daily volume will grow to $10m by the end of the period. This is a conservative estimate based on our novel incentive design and the fact our matching engine provides more bang for each liquidity buck.

At $10m daily volume we would be a top 3 DeFi options protocol spot as per DeFi Llama.

The protocol runs Frequent Batch Auctions so wash trading is not a significant concern. These are auctions run periodically (initially every 10 mins) and any willing participant can submit orders. It is not possible to force matches between your own orders (e.g. wash trading).

For more details on FBAs please check our documentation: Frequent Batch Auctions (FBA) | Ithaca Docs

User Growth Details:

By incentivizing users from other option protocols and other chains to trade on Ithaca we will reach our target user. Other options protocols such as Aevo have up to 50k weekly active users. Our target of 5k is achievable. A min TVL requirement is important to remove the risk of sybil and ensure only real users are incentivized.

Execution Strategy:

As described in Section 3 Ithaca will run two incentive programs

Volume:

  • Total 330,000 ARB: Program runs for 12 weeks with 27,500 ARB per week,
  • Each week, product specific pools will be made available to incentivize market-making in a list of “incentivized products”. The list of incentivized products may change/grow in later weeks as new products are launched.
  • Each week users earn a pro-rata percentage of each product pool based on the share of volume they traded for that product that week.
    • Example: Sold out of the money calls are an incentivized product, so a user that executed 1% of the weekly sold calls volume would receive 1% of the sold call options pool for that week.
  • Incentivized Products on Week 1
    • Sold outermost out-of-the-money call option and digital call option strikes
    • Sold innermost out-of-the-money put and digital put strikes
    • Next Auction and Dated Forwards
  • As the program progresses, new pools will be created to encourage new products. Example: new expiries (e.g. Day 0 and Day 1 options)

User Acquisition:

  • 20,000 ARB to be distributed to users from other DeFi protocols who execute a trade and maintain a minimum TVL of 0.5 ETH for the period
  • This incentive is per user/per wallet. The minimum TVL for a minimum of several weeks makes it too costly to create multiple wallets to earn this incentive.

What mechanisms within the incentive design will you implement to incentivize “stickiness” whether it be users, liquidity or some other targeted metric?
Liquidity begets liquidity:

  1. Liquidity begets liquidity.

The ARB program is designed to assist with the cold-start problem of a new protocol. Alongside and among incentivized users, there will be regular users of options protocols who will remain in our protocol. These “real” users are expected to stay and continue to make markets.

  1. Our own points program

Our own points program will continue to run in parallel to the ARB program and will require users to continue to use the platform to accrue and retain points earned.

  1. FundLock

New users must deposit and maintain a minimum TVL in our FundLock contract to be eligible for incentive bonuses. While users can withdraw funds at any time, the fact they have deposited funds creates behavioral stickiness.

  1. Continued market-making

We will use protocol treasury to provide liquidity during “focal auctions” daily in particular for illiquid products to ensure continued growth.

  1. Protocol Design Itself

The innovations described in section 2, such as atomic matching of orders, and the implementation of Frequent Batch Auctions significantly minimize the risk of wash trading or other non-sticky behavior. All users participate simultaneously in an auction and are matched by the matching engine.

Specify the KPIs that will be used to measure success in achieving the grant objectives and designate a source of truth for governance to use to verify accuracy:

KPIs:

  • Volume
    Target: $10m daily Volume. (top 3 DeFi options protocol)
  • User Growth
    Target: 5k monthly active users

Grant Timeline and Milestones:
12-week Incentive Program with grant to be disbursed and paid to users weekly.

Bi-weekly reporting with interim milestones every two weeks:
Volume: 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 10m daily volume
Users: 500, 1k, 1.5k, 2.5k, 3.5k, 5k daily active users

How will receiving a grant enable you to foster growth or innovation within the Arbitrum ecosystem?

In traditional financial markets, option volumes make up multiples of spot markets and market capitalization, reaching hundreds of trillions of dollars. In contrast, DeFi options remains a $6bn dollar market, representing a tiny fraction of the $2 trillion market capitalization of crypto overall. Ithaca intends to grow that market, bringing that volume to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Moreover, through a hybrid architecture that offers speed and liquidity, Ithaca can capture some of the CeFI option market volume - a 600bn market - and bring that on-chain into Arbitrum.

As discussed in Section 2, Ithaca’s matching engine innovations are not only new to Arbitrum, but across DeFi and TradiFi too.

Let us imagine the possibilities.

The Crypto Option Market can easily grow by 10-50x. This would bring crypto options at par with equity derivatives for example. Within that universe DeFi can easily capture a much bigger percentage of volumes than what is happening now. The examples of both spot DEXs but also perp DEXs, are instructive, inspirational and imminently achievable.

Ithaca can help Arbitrum capture a significant portion of a market that can easily grow 100-500x ( 10-50x as per above, 10x defi as Proportion of CeFi ), even with crypto outright not necessarily increasing in value, just with market maturity but also a platform that allows all the instruments and functionalities that empower users to be made accessible.

SECTION 5: Data and Reporting

OpenBlock Labs has developed a comprehensive data and reporting checklist for tracking essential metrics across participating protocols. Teams must adhere to the specifications outlined in the provided link here: Onboarding Checklist from OBL . Along with this list, please answer the following:

Is your team prepared to comply with OBL’s data requirements for the entire life of the program and three months following and then handoff to the Arbitrum DAO? Are there any special requests/considerations that should be considered?

Yes Ithaca team is prepared to comply with OBL’s data requirements for the entire life of the program and three months following and then handoff to the Arbitrum DAO. No special requests / considerations to be considered.

Does your team agree to provide bi-weekly program updates on the Arbitrum Forum thread that reference your OBL dashboard?

Yes, our team commits to providing bi-weekly updates on the Arbitrum Forum, referencing our Operational Blockchain Ledger (OBL) dashboard.

We will utilize analytics tools to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as daily active users and transaction volumes. These will be reported via a dedicated thread on the Arbitrum Forum, ensuring transparency and community engagement.

*First Offense: In the event that a project does not provide a bi-weekly update, they will be reminded by an involved party (council, advisor, or program manager). Upon this reminder, the project is given 72 hours to complete the requirement or their funding will be halted.

Second Offense: Discussion with an involved party (advisor, pm, council member) that will lead to understanding if funds should keep flowing or not.

Third Offense: Funding is halted permanently

Does your team agree to provide a final closeout report not later than two weeks from the ending date of your program? This report should include summaries of work completed, final cost structure, whether any funds were returned, and any lessons the grantee feels came out of this grant. Where applicable, be sure to include final estimates of acquisition costs of any users, developers, or assets onboarded to Arbitrum chains. (NOTE: No future grants from this program can be given until a closeout report is provided.)

Yes, we will deliver a comprehensive closeout report within two weeks of our program’s conclusion, detailing achievements, financials, and lessons learned.

The report will include summaries of work completed, final cost structure, funds usage, and any returned funds. It will also provide insights into user and developer acquisition costs, alongside any significant learnings that could benefit the broader Arbitrum ecosystem.

Where applicable, we’ll include estimates of acquisition costs for users, developers, or assets onboarded to Arbitrum chains, contributing to a deeper understanding of incentive efficacy.

Does your team acknowledge that failure to comply with any of the above requests can result in the halting of the program’s funding stream?: YES
