meeting on OHM bonds

tags: olympus

Key question:

  • optimizing how much we can emit and for which durations while minimizing volatility.
  • how ohm bonds interconnect with RBS (supply locks and unlocks),

how bonds work

overall mechanisms to be confirmed

  • sells it at a specific price (how to determine this initial price?) determined by the auction
    • potential policy: assume a range?
  • can be traded at arbitrary price on a secondary market
  • expires at a certain date
  • when expires, additional supply will be generated to give the bond rewards? -> supply is preminted
    • measures for supply releases

math on APY

  • questions on hackmd
  • questions from the sheet: what's the logic for each step?

what are the goals for OHM bonds?

  • replace current staking capacity.
    • current staking capacity determined by
  • maximizing what? -> maximize user participation at a base layer of the economy (Creating "Money games" for people and institutions to play). Maximize for protocol efficiency (rehypothecating locked OHM?)
    • participation: measured by velocity; brain power used (or simplify it with a vault token; the vault would have some liquidity at hand; a way to mitigate risk: allow early exit with fee)
    • action: participate in primary market, resell on secondary market; even delegate votes
    • motivation for participation: long term holders rewarded more
    • goal for OHM:
      • locked supply for treasury; know when the supply will be released and be prepared to regulate
      • ultimately get away from staking
      • minimize emissions; pushing the rewards to be in the secondary market
  • minimizing volatility how to define? -> minimize volatility per Treasury dollar spent
    • if volatility means the price of OHM, usually it can be defined as ATR(average true range). what does it mean per treasury dollar spent?
  • scenarios:
    • passive holder who's been staking: buy a bond on the auction; 6-month bond; locked supply;
    • with or without lending market
  • existing problem:
    • excessively high APY due to less flexible code
    • too quick of a turnover for staker (too liquid) because they don't have any risk
  • ideas:
    • use the bond for lending market

intuitions

  • what are some key parameters and their effects?
    • capacity: premium of OHM v.s. treasury;
  • connection with RBS?
    • with staking, excessive supply will hit the market whenever; with the determined dates, safe to assume no big amounts of supply for a longer time.
