Startups die when they stop believing. 2024 almost broke Rysk. We built a leading DeFi options protocol, but scaling was hard. Everyone kept saying: "No one wants options." Finding capital and PMF felt impossible. We nearly quit. But Rysk team never stopped believing. We regrouped, got scrappy, analyzed every design and on-chain behavior, questioned every assumption, and relentlessly talked to users. Builders, investors, and friends like @evan_van_ness pushed us forward. They challenged us to take a new approach. To build something completely new. Rysk V12 isn’t just a product. It’s proof we refused to quit. Refused to stop believing. It’s our mission.

This is our fuel ⛽️ We don't build in a vacuum. We build on your feedback. Thank you for every message, idea, and suggestion that makes the terminal better. 💙 We already pushed 7 updates to our app following them, many more features to come 👀 Keep them coming 🧊

Position Cards are now live! Inspired by a design from one of our users, we built them directly into Rysk. You can now generate and share your Position Card after opening a position or anytime from the dashboard. Rysk it all.

Might be time to take some risk off in stages and put that cash to work I’ve found @ryskfinance to be a great way to collect premiums through cash secured puts, while committing to buy $ETH or $BTC at prices I’d be happy to own on pullbacks

Self-Repaying Loans are now Based. Alchemix is now live on @base. It's our fastest deployment yet, and the only chain where v3 runs unrestricted, with four-week Transmuter terms and no caps. Here's what Based Alchemix looks like...

I've been wanting to build this project for a year, and I finally did it. Its called Caracal7, an experimental SNARK prover designed for GPUs, by using the prime field 127. And it is top 5 on all of the @eth_proofs client side benchmarks 1/9

Alright, alright — I’ll send you $100, even $1,000 worth of $HYPE. — Jumpurr I got tired of waiting for $HYPE to hit 100, so I made a little game. The rules are simple: Keep climbing higher while avoiding the liquidation lines that constantly rise from below. How high can you climb? t.me/Jumpurr_bot/playJumpurr You might also spot Hypurr PFPs of people you know — or logos from your favorite projects — hidden throughout the game.

You asked, we listened. Minimum position sizes for HYPE and BTC options strategies on HyperEVM are now lower. Get started with less capital, or open a smaller position.

Working with three Italians on the team has been the most fun I’ve had in a while. 🇮🇹

Rysk is such an easy-to-use app earning yield from selling options. I hadn’t touched onchain options in years until we interviewed @DanDeFiEd this year. It took me all of 60 secs to go from no idea to “here’s how I start selling cash-secured puts for assets I would be thrilled to buy below strike price.” This guy’s killed it, learn from him👇

I echo everything here. Love the rysk team and the product. I feel good about recommending it to people, they dont really brag about themselves often or attack others on the TL so they tend not to go viral. Just a solid OG defi team and where I spend most of my time when im not on Hyperliquid.

i just started writing a long ass post on how to sell options on @ryskfinance since the talk of the tl is now all about trading options then realized im too old for this shit and not getting paid so here's a condensed version. long story short, ive made over $370k since i started selling options on @ryskfinance in August 2025. i use premiums from selling options as my personal income. i've been assigned maybe less than 10% of the time and have never taken a loss. that means if i sold a put and had to buy hyperliquid:native at expiration, i have always been able to sell that hyperliquid:native for profit. if i sold calls and ended up having to sell it was either HYPE i bought as a trade, or the HYPE i got assigned from selling puts and was able to sell higher. @DeriveXYZ is great if you know what you're looking at. you can buy and sell options, and all types of other strategies. Rysk simplifies SELLING OPTIONS (and more strategies coming) for the people that are too lazy to really look into what they're seeing on more complex UI's like Derive. and the main reason i choose to sell options on Rysk is because they do physical settlement. to put it simply that means that if i sell a $74 hyperliquid:native put, and HYPE is under $74 at expiry, the market maker takes my collateral and sells me HYPE tokens at $74. on Derive, if you sell a $74 put and HYPE is under $74 at expiry, you just have a negative PnL. no delivery of hyperliquid:native tokens to your wallet that you can later sell for profit. this is called cash settlement. heres a rundown anyway on how selling options work. choose an asset, expiration date, and strike price. you get paid your USDC/USDT (premium) upfront, right away, straight to your wallet, and Rysk holds your collateral until the expiration date. on the expiration date you either receive your collateral back or you receive the asset you sold the option for. in both cases you always keep your premium earned. for example, if you sold a $74 put on hyperliquid:native, you are telling the market maker that you want to buy hyperliquid:native at $74 on this date if HYPE is UNDER $74. if its over $74 you get your collateral to buy the HYPE back but you got the premium which is your yield for depositing until the expiration date. for calls its the same but instead of depositing USDC, you deposit your hyperliquid:native. instead of buying you would be selling your HYPE if the price of HYPE is OVER the strike price you chose. for example: HYPE is currently $82, I sell a $100 call that expires september 25th. this means that if HYPE is OVER $100 on September 25th at the time of expiration then I will SELL all of the HYPE i put up for collateral at $100. even if it is $110, i still sell at $100. this post still ended up being long smh.

for me it's @ryskfinance

I was sharing Rysk with a friend and he did WHYPE on the spot, and he gasped at how simple it was !

"Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." - @DanDeFiEd from Rysk Finance Think this is a great quote for all builders. Don't learn this the hard way.
