Olympus DAO consists of its protocol-managed treasury, protocol-owned liquidity (POL), a bond mechanism, and staking rewards that are designed to control supply expansion. The team creates a free-floating reserve currency, where each OHM token is backed by a basket of assets (e.g. DAI, FRAX) in the Olympus treasure — this gives it an intrinsic value the currency cannot fall below. 

Olympus DAO launches its bug bounty program with record-breaking payouts of up tо $3.3m. The program includes separate scales for websites/apps and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing various criteria from consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit. All the payouts are handled by the Olympus DAO team directly and are denominated in USD. Users can submit bugs on the Olympus Dao bug bounty page on Immunefi, live on December 23.
