OHM is Smart Money
The Olympus protocol is a decentralized financial (DeFi) system that supports OHM, a treasury backed, liquidity-enabling token on the Ethereum network.

Operating Since


Reliable Liquidity
Olympus pioneered Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL) and continues to lead the industry today. OHM can be bought, sold or borrowed against, even during turbulent market conditions.


Accessible Backing
Cooler Loans enables taking loans against the liquid reserves backing OHM. Loans are perpetual, with a 0.5% fixed interest rate. There are no price based liquidations, and the Origination Loan-to-Collateral (oLTC) scales over time via a drip mechanism as backing grows.
Predictable Monetary Policy
Olympus' automated monetary policy provides predictability and transparency, giving you confidence to make informed investment decisions.
OHM supply and backing is managed through smart contracts and policies such as the Emissions Manager (EM), Yield Repurchase Facility (YRF), and Convertible Deposits (CD's) to enable the protocol to expand and contract as market conditions shift, all while ensuring sustainable growth of backing reserves during expansionary times, and protection of reserves during downtrends.


Governed On-Chain
On-chain governance plays a pivotal role in the operation of Olympus. It empowers holders to participate directly in decision-making processes, such as protocol upgrades, collateral management, and monetary policy adjustments. This democratic approach fosters transparency and decentralization, solidifying OHM as true smart money.
How to Participate

Provide Liquidity
Earn pool incentives while helping proliferate OHM across DeFi.
Deep market liquidity combined with a strong Olympus treasury will help realize OHM as the de facto utilitarian DeFi currency.

Borrow Against Backing
Cooler Loans allow you to borrow up to 95% of the liquid backing of OHM at a 0.5% interest rate. Olympus gives you unparalleled financial flexibility.

Olympus manages value, liquidity, and credit on-chain through pioneering mechanisms such as Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), the Emissions Manager (EM), Cooler Loans, and Convertible Deposits (CD’s) to create a robust, flexible, censorship-resistant, and smart money.
The goal of Olympus is to build a programmatic policy-controlled money that:
— Preserves purchasing power via long-term price predictability
— Maintains reliable liquidity across decentralized exchanges
— Is used as a unit of account (e.g., by being paired against many other decentralized assets)
— Is utilized as a trusted asset (e.g., to collateralize other assets or deposited into protocols’ treasuries).
— Is fully decentralized and controlled by the community
— Is financially flexible, allowing users to borrow the backing against their money
Fiat-pegged stablecoins have become an essential part of crypto due to their lack of volatility as compared to tokens such as Bitcoin and Ether. Users are comfortable transacting with stablecoins knowing they hold the same amount of purchasing power today vs. tomorrow. Unfortunately, this is a fallacy. Fiat dollars are controlled by centralized government monetary policy, and always decrease in purchasing power (inflation). This depreciation of the dollar also means a depreciation of these stablecoins. Olympus solves Web3’s reliance on centralized, censorable stablecoin assets by supporting OHM, a free-floating, community-governed money that is backed by a growing treasury.
No, OHM is in the “flatcoin” category. Stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies, OHM is a free-floating money, backed by real assets. Olympus’ Emissions Manager programmatically and transparently opens and closes bond markets relative to the token premium. This helps OHM trade in a price range determined by market participants, while still growing backing over time.
