**Summary**

Change the reward ratio from 2 weeks to 1 week.

_Current Reward Ratio:_  
2 weeks or 0.000000534833333333

_New Reward Ratio:_  
1 week or 0.000001069666666666

**Abstract**

Currently the reward ratio is set to 2 weeks. This proposal, if enacted, would change the reward ratio from 2 weeks(0.000000534833333333) to 1 week(0.000001069666666666).

The current 2 week reward ratio, means it takes longer for yield to propagate through the system, which means that yields can be slow to catch up in the case of large and sudden supply increases.

The rewardRatio is how much of the Furnace melting and StRSR drip to perform per block, as a function of the currently held (post-auction) revenue.

**Problem Statement**

There is a lag in revenue getting distributed to RSR stakers with the current 2 week reward ratio. This creates a problem of no economic incentive for RSR holders to want to stake and provide overcollateralization.

**Rationale**

Providing a quicker feedback loop for the revenue getting distributed to RSR stakers would be a net positive. This would be an incentive for more RSR holders to want to stake and provide overcollateralization to hyUSD.

**Risks**

One potential risk is that it could introduce opportunities for people to stake, get yield, and then unstake. However, this is unlikely to be profitable with the 2 week unstaking delay.
