# 👨‍🌾Exercise Options

At expiration, option pools can be settled according to price feeds provided by oracles. Traders can exercise their held-to-maturity options and claim the payout individually, if any. 

### 💰Exercise Option Positions

If your outstanding longs expire in-the-money🤑, you'll be able to receive one collateral unit per option token from the options pool. Otherwise, your longs expire worthless💀.
