Trading volume racked up significantly into the ETF approval as expected; however, it has cooled down since that major market event. Even though trading volume reduced post-ETF, fees have remained consistent on a rolling average basis for the last 60 days, and premia is now a top 50 protocol in terms of gas spend on Arbitrum!

The Trading Competition/MM simple claiming contracts have been deployed. Contract address label Form 12 completed for all addresses: [Yes] Mechanism for distribution incentives: - Dual Mining Smart Contracts for Vaults - Complete - Simple Claiming Contract for Trading & Market Making Incentives - Complete Summary of incentives plan: - Weekly Quests via Galaxe starting 2023-12-04 (1 per week) - Live - All Dual Mining rewards for Vault Deposits 2023-12-05 - Complete - Trading Competition begins 2023-12-08 - Live - Marketing Events with partner protocols ongoing Summary of changes to the original plan: After careful deliberation and consideration, we have chosen to utilize the 100k Allocation for Partnerships to extend our current rewards for one additional month to remain competitive with other projects during the extended STIP window. The two main reasons for justification are: A) Unfortunately, we have spoken to many other projects; however, given the complexity of OLM, it has proven difficult to find protocols with extra resources to facilitate this time of partnership and onboarding, and from the feedback we have received, it is unlikely to happen until after the STIP period. B) Our contracts emit at a fixed rate until exhausted; thus as we had originally planned on a full distribution date of 2024-01-31 we would have to redeploy all the contracts to change the rate, thus we decided against this option. However, we want to put those 100k Tokens to work for our users, so we will continue to fund the emissions for another month until around 2024-03-05. If the DAO deems this an inappropriate use, Premia is willing to fund it out of pocket. Regardless, 100k is not enough to cover the entirety of the extension, so Premia will have to fund a portion out of pocket. In lockstep with this decision, the Secondary Market incentives and Trading Competition have been extended to around 2024-03-05 as well. This change can be seen on the [STIP Allocation document.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1grz-kq98PqIbIbHrbEfB1Dq_0SdkBR4c-JfTJJwr8Ew/edit?usp=sharing) Overall, we will continue to track this extension in the dashboard as % Committed is now shown over 100% from the original plan in the name of transparency. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/arbitrum1/original/2X/8/874ef45be48f8e1239bd8624007e244ea320d388.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/premia-bi-weekly-update-final-w-reflection/19867)._
