Hi Ohmies, the policy team at @OlympusDAO made an announcement today that you should check out.

Here’s a brief thread explaining the levers used to put these policies in action and also a bit of rationale/explanation behind each statement. Image
1. To decrease bond capacity, a bond’s Bond Control Variable (BCV) is increased.

Bond Price = 1 + debtRatio x BCV

By drastically increasing FRAX BCV from 690 -> 13,900, bond price for a given debt ratio will rise.

This is how FRAX capacity gets reduced. Image
2. However, these BCV targets are gradually changed.

You can track their change progress on the policy dashboard.

Over time you will see FRAX intake dramatically reducing.

3. Why was FRAX in take limited?

Because we already own ~5% of FRAX supply. Slowing FRAX in take is prudent risk management.

$OHM treasury owns $7.2 mm of FRAX, with another $6.5 mm in the liquidity pool.

FRAX total supply is $260 mm. Image
4. What’s max bond and why decrease it?

Max bond used to be 0.05% x total supply.

Now it is 0.005% x total supply for all bonds except the OHM-DAI liquidity bond.

You won’t see $200k+ DAI bonds anymore. More like $20k bonds or a 10x reduction in max bond size.
5. Finally coming to ETH bonds. As you know $OHM is ready to buy $ETH through bonds.

Goal is to have ETH hit 5% of treasury RFV. Roughly $1.2 mm of ETH will be purchased.

Max Bond = 0.004% of supply or about 40 $OHM = $18k or roughly 7 ETH / bond.
6. The policy dashboard is the engine of $OHM.

Take time to understand it and the mechanics.

I believe we have already built a shared mental model of $OHM monetary policy.

More people understanding it better will help us win.

What does an optimal blockchain for telecom need?

This response is from @ttk314 and covers:

- Key problem of blockchains i.e. latency
- Uncle blocks on @ethereum
- @cosmos vs @solana design choices
- Why @AltheaNetwork is building on @cosmos

Thank you Justin for teaching me!
1. Key problem of blockchains is latency. In a decentralized system many people are participating who have have a given latency to each other.

Exactly how you decide what the 'present' is takes time, since your messages take an unpredictable amount of time to arrive.
2. For example, Ethereum produces a block every 15 seconds, the 'winning' block is the one the next successful miner choses to build on.

This is why you have to wait 3-4 blocks before exchanges will give you funds or anything is considered final.

Simulating a bank-run on @OlympusDAO : a thread exploring the absolute worst case, doomsday scenario for stakers committed to (3,3)

TL;DR: you get your money back and a slight return.

Read on for the longer answer with context, mechanics and math 👇
1. Fractional reserve banking works because depositors don’t withdraw their funds at once.

A depositor’s faith in the banking system rests on regulations and agencies like Federal Depositor Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

FDIC: backed by the full faith & credit for the US Govt Image
2. $OHM does not have FDIC insurance but it has an incentive structure that protects stakers.

Let’s take a look at how it performs during a bank run.

Assume extreme FUD, every Ohmie panics and the staking % currently at 92% collapses to 3.3%.

—> 18,600 $OHMs stay staked. Image

@OlympusDAO is a master class in quality incentive design.

Today I got a chance to dig into the founding team’s incentive structure called pOHM (thank you @WartuII).

So what is pOHM and why does it matter? A brief thread.

link.medium.com/nMqGjchKGhb
1. pOHM was sold in a private sale under these terms:

- pOHM can be converted to OHM by paying $1 (it’s like an option with $1 strike price).

- At no point can pOHM converted to OHMs be greater than 11.8% of supply.

- 450 mm pOHM were issued to team, advisors and investors.
2. This design incentivizes the team to stick with the project as supply grows and maximize the price per OHM.

These pOHMs will not fully vest until 2-5 billion of OHM supply is achieved. My gut says that will take 5-8 years.

Thus, rug pull highly unlikely.

Gamification of banking at @OlympusDAO. A thread.

A game has 5 traits:
1. Goals: what to achieve?
2. Rules: constraints on how to achieve goal
3. Feedback: a way to track progress
4. Voluntary participation: players know the goal, rules & feedback
5. Obstacles: difficulty rises
1. Goal: OlympusDAO is multiplayer game in which the goal is to grow deposits in order to create an interest-bearing safe haven currency with built in assurances of deep liquidity and intrinsic value.

It’s off to a great start. Image
2. Rules:
- 1 $OHM has to be backed by 1 USD equivalent

- If 1 $OHM > 1 USD then issue $OHMs and earn a profit

- If 1 $OHM < 1 USD then buy back $OHMs and earn a profit

- 90% of rewards are issued in the form $OHMs to stakers every 8 hours based on a known rewards rate.

How long will it take for my investment in $OHM to become risk free?

- 300 days base case
- 180 days bull case.
- 20x return

Base case assumptions:
1. Rebase rate: 0.35% (currently 0.55%)
2. Growth rate of Risk Free Value per Ohm: $0.2/day/ohm

1 day ago RFV/Ohm was $14.1
Today RFV = $7.7 million
Total Ohm Supply = 537,423

RFV / Ohm Supply = $14.3

So RFV/Ohm grew by $0.2 / day. Trend is steady.

In 180 days RFV / Ohm = $0.2 * 180 = $36 + current RFV / Ohm of $14.3 = $50 RFV / Ohm

duneanalytics.com/shadow/Olympus…
Today rebase rate is 0.56%. This is expected to decline. Let’s assume 0.35% average rebase, then in the next 180 days One $OHM today will yield

(1.0035)^180*3 = 6.6 Ohms in 180 days. (Compounding every 8 hrs)

So RFV of One Ohm staked today = 6.6 * $50 = $330 in 180 days

A thread about understanding @OlympusDAO through a few charts @ohmzeus considers important:

1. Ohm Price and Ohm Index Adjusted Price

2. Change in Risk Free Value

3. Index Adjusted Risk Free Backing

4. Risk Free vs Market Value of Treasury
1. Say you bought one Ohm at inception for $513 and staked it. Today you will have 4.9 Ohms.

Why?

ODAO pays an Ohm reward to stakers called rebase, compounding every 8 hrs. Current rebase = 0.63% (APY = 112,000%)

So while Ohm market price is $250, your investment = $1,225. Image
2. Every day the risk free value of ODAO’s treasury grows as it sells bonds and takes in DAI.

For every 1 DAI it receives, it mints 1 Ohm.

But that’s not all, the protocol also owns 93% of the liquidity pool. That’s deep, guaranteed and benevolent liquidity! Image
