The goal behind Olympus DAO is simple, yet ambitious: to become the global reserve currency. OHM tokens are the cryptocurrency which drives this vision. Olympus Treasury holds a bunch of assets that back the price of OHM tokens. Those baskets of assets ensure that the OHM value never falls below the intrinsic value held in Treasury.

OlympusDAO users can contribute to the defi ecosystem by either staking OHM tokens or providing liquidity through a process known as bonding. OlympusDAO users can stake OHM tokens for more OHM tokens in the same way Ethereum users can stake ETH tokens for more ETH.
