Settlement price is determined, options contract is deemed In The Money (ITM) or Out of The Money (OTM).

Options Settlement Process

If an option expires ITM:

The settlement amount calculation equals the difference between the calculated exercise-settlement price and the strike price of the option, multiplied by the vault asset volume, in the asset held by the DOV. For sake of clarity, this means put selling vaults which settle in the money will result in payout of USDC, and calls which settle in the money will be paid out in respective tokens, BTC, ETH, ALGO, or wrapped versions as appropriate.
The settlement price, strike price, and settlement amount are communicated to the Market Maker.
The Market Maker confirms the settlement price and amount.
The Vault pays out the settlement amount to the AlgoRai Administrator.
The AlgoRai Administrator pays out the settlement amount to the Market Maker.

If an option expires OTM:

No further action or settlement occurs for the Market Maker.
