In <3 weeks, @olympusDAO grew their protocol-owned value to $9.4M. But it really took off with launch of Sales/Bonds, growing from $1.3M to $9.4M (+723%) in 2 wks Tomorrow, they're launching the next iteration of Bonds to supercharge that growth. Let's explore the implications:
Today, treasury contract holds 214K DAI and 4.75 OHM-DAI SLP. This is 58% of all liquidity (presently at $15.9M) so the treasury holds $214K + $9.2M = $9.4M. Impressive but concerning that most of it is in $OHM, a early-stage volatile token. https://etherscan.io/address/0x886ce997aa9ee4f8c2282e182ab72a705762399d
To be honest with ourselves, we must consider the risk-free value of the pool. With DAI backing, that value is $1. Since SLP uses the typical x*y=k AMM bonding curve and each OHM is backed by DAI, the two token supply equal and we get 2*sqrt(k) as the risk-free value of the pool
2*sqrt(k) = 2*sqrt(supplyOHM*supplyDAI) = 2*sqrt(7987246 * 9767)= $559K. At 58% ownership, that's only $320K. Compare to our initial market-value assessment of $9.2M! https://etherscan.io/address/0x34d7d7aaf50ad4944b70b320acb24c95fa2def7c
That's why DAI bonds are so important to $OHM's evolution. @ohmzeus hinted at this as a form of risk reduction - DAI bonds give the treasury direct exposure to DAI diversifying the treasury away from OHM and toward the stablest asset. https://twitter.com/ohmzeus/status/1384567806952296450
Not only that but DAI bonds have a massive leverage on supply: by bonding DAI directly, the protocol is now minting OHM 1:1 rather than the risk-free value of SLP bonds. Depositing $1800 in SLP bonds would produce 60 OHM but depositing $1800 in DAI bonds produces 1800 OHM.
This, of course, significantly benefits $OHM holders. As the treasury ramps up supply production, most of this will be distributed to OHM stakers. Up until now, 370K of 533K tokens (or 69% of supply
) have been distributed as staking rewards.
