Three minutes to understand Olympus DAO
Blockcast Admin, July 31, 2021, Blockcast
This is a project you may have heard of, because it has a very high APY and (3,3) profiles are all over Twitter. Why is the price of a “stable currency” like OHM so high? This seems a bit strange.
How does Olympus work? Are the benefits sustainable? What is (3,3) anyway? This is why this article will explain and emphasize why Olympus has quickly become one of DeFi’s most interesting protocols.”
An In-Depth Look at Olympus DAO Protocol and the Not-So-Stable Stablecoin OHM
Jamie Redman, November 1, 2021, Bitcoin.com
“In mid-October, Bitcoin.com News reported on how decentralized finance (defi) or algorithmic stablecoins have seen significant demand in 2021. One particular stablecoin called OHM is quite different from the traditional reserve currency defi protocols today, as OHM is a free-floating currency backed only by what’s held in the Olympus DAO treasury. OHM may not …”
OlympusDAO’s Success Inspires Dozens of Forks
Owen Fernau, October 26, 2021, The Defiant
“They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. In crypto, this manifests as forks, or copies of a project’s codebase. In that sense, OlympusDAO must be feeling pretty flattered.
A slew of forks (over 30, according to DeFi influencer mewnyfish) of the OlympusDAO codebase have emerged.
OlympusDAO’s protocol-owned liquidity model has been a catalyst for the DeFi 2.0 movement, and its success is inspiring copycats. At a $4B market cap, the project’s OHM token has vaulted into the 50th slot among digital assets as of Oct. 25 after going up over 200% in the last 30 days, according to Coingecko.” …
I Was Wrong About Olympus – DeFriday #15
Nat Eliason, October 8, 2021, Every
“It’s hard to admit when you’re wrong. But I was very wrong about Olympus.
When a crypto project has a cult-like following and super high APRs, I usually take that as a sign it’s some kind of scam.
So when I kept hearing about $OHM from the “Ohmies,” with “(3,3)” in their twitter handles and saw the ridiculously high APY on the Olympus site, I just assumed it was another ponzi coin with unusually good community and memeing skills.” …
DeFi 2.0: OlympusDAO, OHM, (3,3) Review
Brinc.fi, Novemeber 3, 2021, Medium
“OlympusDAO ($OHM) has been in the limelight as of late in the DeFi world, and it’s sparked a bunch of forks (most notably Wonderland) following in its footsteps. Why are these protocols being talked about, and what makes them unique? As we pull back the layers of these protocols, we’ll hopefully offer you some more clarity on these protocols (and their tokens) and how it all fits in within the new world of Defi 2.0.-defining businesses.” …
What is Olympus DAO and How Does it Work?
Zhong Yang Chan, November 12, 2021, CoinGecko
“In their own words, Olympus is a decentralized reserve currency protocol based on the OHM token. Each OHM token is backed by a basket of assets in the Olympus treasury. The goal of the project is to build a policy-controlled currency system, in which the behaviour of the OHM token is controlled at a high level by the OlympusDAO. The pseudonymous founder(s) believe this system can be used to optimise for stability and consistency so that OHM can function as a global unit-of-account and medium-of-exchange currency.
The protocol was launched in May 2021, and has since amassed a sizable treasury balance, as well as total value locked (TVL) in their staking pool.” …
