As mentioned by the RYSK team on the proposal, option markets are gaining popularity yet impact the TVL and user metrics visibly. As the ITU Blockchain delegation team, this proposal overlaps with our opinions about the usage of DeFi and is ready for a vote. We voted “For” but need future updates on metrics, apparently. The incentive for traders and liquidity providers will show an undeniable change in the metrics on the protocol and, therefore, on the Arbitrum ecosystem.
