OIP-43: Launch CVX Bonds

Summary

We are seeking approval from the community to begin acquiring CVX as a strategic asset that would:

Help Olympus acquire the liquidity rails needed for Olympus to become the most widely used currency of DeFi

Leverage our CVX allocation to generate better yields on our Treasury assets

Potentially achieve significant exposure and governance over the Curve ecosystem

We propose launching CVX bonds for the DAO to start accumulating CVX.

Motivations

Olympus aims to be the decentralized central bank of DeFi. The accumulation of governance tokens of large DeFi protocols such as the Curve Finance ecosystem would allow us to more efficiently reach this goal. Another key objective is to strengthen the protocol over the long-term. Specifically, we are seeking to acquire strategic assets that will help generate significant non-bond revenue that can be utilized to extend the runway and add to OHM’s RFV and premium. As Olympus matures, both of these goals are becoming increasingly important.

Note: This proposal is time-sensitive. This forum post will be available for the community to comment/provide soft consensus on for 24 hours. Assuming a favorable outcome, a Snapshot vote will be posted and closed within 48 hours.

Proposed Action: Create a CVX Bond program to acquire CVX.
