Olympus OHM/USD is an algorithmic currency protocol with the goal of achieving price stability while maintaining a floating market-driven price.
OHM differentiates itself from stablecoins due to the fact that it is backed but not pegged to a certain price. The Olympus DAO is governed by its community through a fully decentralized way through smart contracts.
Olympus’s high APY as a catalyst for growth
Back on September 18, Olympus introduced Olympus Pro, which was a paradigm shift in the way the protocol utilized emissions to accrue value.
Olympus Pro is a service for protocols that are looking to utilize bonds in their emissions programs with low overhead and maximum impact.
That said, Olympus is a rebase project which has gathered a lot of attention due to the fact that it offers a high yield to OHM stakers.
At the time of writing, the APY is at 7,603%, with 3.1 billion in total value deposited.
Another thing that sets OHM apart from other projects is the fact that rather than having its main token fluctuate around the $1 stablecoin price, each OHM is an algorithmic reserve currency that is backed by a basket of assets such as DAI or FRAX, for example.
These are held within the Olympus treasury and give OHM an intrinsic value.
