# Rysk Bi-Weekly Update #1 [11/16/2023]
## Recap of the Previous Two Weeks
Rysk has seen a tremendous growth since the start of the STIP (Nov 3rd) in volumes, TVL and users.
> [@\[Rysk\] \[FINAL\] \[STIP - Round 1\]](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rysk-final-stip-round-1/17194/1):
>
> We expect the TVL to go around $3m since this will generate an additional ~0.47% returns on a weekly basis (assuming current ARB/USD price). On the trading side the target is 3k contracts traded per week, that will distribute an incentive of ~$4.69 (assuming current ARB/USD price) per contract traded, an incentive strong enough to rebate fees and enter trades that reduce the risk exposure of the pool.
Goal of the incentives in the proposal was to increase volumes with a target of **3k contracts per week** and to **increase TVL to $3m**. Those **targets were hit in the first week** (Weekly Volumes: 4.4k contracts, TVL: $3.44M with capped vault) massively **contributing to the Arbitrum options volumes growth recorded in the last days.**
> [@\[Rysk\] \[FINAL\] \[STIP - Round 1\]](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rysk-final-stip-round-1/17194/1):
>
> the objective of the grant is to on-board new options traders into the Arbitrum ecosystem, accelerate Rysk’s growth and position Arbitrum as the primary chain to trade decentralized options.
We can confidently say that we are successfully on track with this goal.

## Plan For the Next Two Weeks
**Amount of ARB to be distributed:** 0
**Contracts that will be incentivized:**
- Liquidity Pool ([0x217749d9017cB87712654422a1F5856AAA147b80](https://arbiscan.io/address/0x217749d9017cB87712654422a1F5856AAA147b80))
- OptionsExchange ([0xC117bf3103bd09552F9a721F0B8Bce9843aaE1fa](https://arbiscan.io/address/0xC117bf3103bd09552F9a721F0B8Bce9843aaE1fa))
Contract address label Form 10 completed for all addresses: Y
**Mechanism for distribution incentives:**
Liquidity Providers:
Total weekly grants pool: 7,142.75 ARB
Anyone with a deposit in the DHV when the weekly epoch is executed (every Friday):
- airdrop every Friday after weekly epoch ends
- (user shares / total shares) X total weekly grants pool
Traders:
Total weekly grants pool: 5,844.07 ARB
Contracts traded are eligible to earn a share of the weekly grants pool at option expiry (every Friday 8AM UTC). Each contract traded will receive proportional rewards based on the following distribution:
- **80%: Selling contracts** — trades that sell options (closing a bought contract does not qualify).
- **15%: Buying contracts on longer dated expiries (≥ 30 DTE)** — trades that buy options with 30days expiry or more (closing a sold contract does not qualify).
- **5%: Buying contract on shorted dated expiries (≤ 30 DTE)** — trades that buy options with expiry lower than 30 days (closing a sold contract does not qualify).
Each position (buy and sell) needs to be held for at least 12hrs to be eligible.
If options with ≥ 30 DTE are not available the allocated amount will be proportionally distributed to LPs and traders
**Summary of incentives plan:**
ended
**Summary of changes to the original plan:**
No changes in the plan. Distribution ended!

> Dan from Rysk here, with the purpose of clarifying why we did not post an addendum to apply for the STIP Bridge. STIP was a great success for Rysk, helping us reach our target in terms of TVL and volume within the first week of the incentives (read on for some in-depth analysis on the KPIs and lesson learned). For an early protocol like Rysk the STIP impact was massive, even though the size we received was on average smaller that most of the protocols (500k ARB). We are incredibly thankful to …
