WHAT IS OHMVAULT ($OHMV)?
CORE Vault, 2020: fixed supply, LP locked for good, and the
farming paid out of transfer fees instead of new tokens.
The floor was ETH.
OHMVAULT, 2026: the same model with a better floor asset.
OHMV trades in one Uniswap v4 pool against OHM, the Olympus
reserve currency, on Ethereum mainnet. The floor under OHMV
is OHM. The floor under OHM is the Olympus treasury. OHM
already trades against ETH, so you can get into OHMV from
anything. No wrapper, no middle token.
Why OHM: its price is defended by a treasury, so the floor
under OHMV does not move around with the market the way an
ETH floor would.
THE MECHANICS
- 10,000,000 OHMV at launch. Supply can grow, but only two
contracts can mint: the Ratchet, while OHM backing per
token is above its mark, and the Bond, against OHM that
went into the pool. No person can mint. Read the
live supply on the Stats tab.
- The whole supply plus the OHM seed goes into the pool at
launch. No dev bag. The LP position sits in a contract
that has no withdraw function.
- Every swap pays 5%, in OHM, split like this:
2% goes into the locked pool. That is the floor.
3% goes to the ops wallet. It pays for infra,
development, marketing and whatever market activity
the team decides on, including buying other tokens
and providing liquidity elsewhere. None of it comes
back into the protocol. It is the team's income.
- BONDING: pay OHM, get OHMV at 20% below market, vesting
over 24h. The OHM goes into the locked pool. The pool
charges its 5% on the half it swaps, so about 97.5% of
what you pay reaches the floor, and that is what your
OHMV is minted against. A bond can never lower backing
per token.
- EMISSIONS: stake OHMV to earn minted OHMV. The Ratchet
mints only while OHM backing per token is above its
up-only mark, at most 2% of supply per 6h epoch. A big
jump in backing is paid out over several epochs instead
of one. If the floor did not grow, nothing is minted.
- STAKING takes one epoch to start earning. UNSTAKING takes
6 hours: the amount stops earning, then Withdraw sends
it back.
- ANTI-SNIPE: for the first minute after the pool opens the
fee starts at 50% and falls to 5% (t=0 50%, ~12s 34%,
30s 16%, 60s 5%). First-block snipers pay about 50% and
it goes to the floor. During that minute no single swap
can take more than 10% of the pool. All of this is fixed
in the code.
- harvest() is public. Anyone can call it.
- No dev bag. The founder holds nothing at launch and buys
on the open market like anyone else.
THE FLOOR
Two things hold OHMV up.
1. The LP can never leave. OHMV trades against OHM in one
pool with no withdraw function, and 2% of every trade
adds more OHM to it. The amount of OHM in the pool only
goes up.
2. The mark only goes up. The Ratchet moves it up as
backing per token grows and never lowers it. New OHMV is
minted only while backing is above it, and live backing
is never left below it after a mint.
What the mark is not: a redemption button. In a hard
sell-off the live backing can sit under it for a while.
The mark is the reference that gates emissions; the locked
pool is what actually holds price.
RISKS
OHM is run by the Olympus DAO, which can mint OHM and
change its policy. The backing is only as solid as that.
The seed cannot be taken back.
This is an experiment. Size your position like one.
