Olympus DAO, a company building decentralized reserve currency protocol based on the OHM token, announces its bounty program with Immunefi, the leading crypto bug bounty and security services platform protecting over $100 billion in users’ funds. The bug bounty program, with a focus on their smart contracts and app, aims to prevent loss of treasury, user, and bond funds.
Olympus DAO consists of its protocol-managed treasury, protocol-owned liquidity (POL), a bond mechanism, and staking rewards that are designed to control supply expansion. The team creates a free-floating reserve currency, where each OHM token is backed by a basket of assets (e.g. DAI, FRAX) in the Olympus treasure — this gives it an intrinsic value the currency cannot fall below.

“Olympus has a goal of becoming the reserve asset for all of DeFi, “ says Bug Bounty Manager @Proof_Steve at Olympus DAO. “To achieve that we need to ensure its security, and that’s exactly why the community authorized this bug bounty program with Immunefi. It leverages the power of community to provide unparalleled code audits through positive incentive structures, which not only achieves the purpose of a Bug Bounty but does so in a fashion that is in line with the ethos of a DAO.”
