OlympusDAO - 14. Rebasing

    -- Explain rebasing in a clear and concise manner using your own words. -- Produce a visualization that shows the impact of rebasing on the circulating supply of sOHM. -- Bonus points: is there a clear increase in unstaking activity right after rebasing events?

    Methodology

    • Find the circulating supply of OHM by looking at the daily balance of the sOHM token.
      from ethereum.erc20_balances
      where contract_address = '0x04f2694c8fcee23e8fd0dfea1d4f5bb8c352111f' -- sOHM
    

    What is Rebasing?

    • sOHM is the staked version of OHM, where stakers stake OHM and earn yield for holding the staked tokens.
    • Rebasing is the process of creating new OHM tokens and paying it out to the stakers aka holders of sOHM.
      • Example there were 100 OHM tokens and they were staked and 100 sOHM tokens were created.
      • Now lets say 5 OHM tokens are minted, there are 105 OHM tokens for 100 sOHM tokens, which means we need to mint 5 more sOHM, tokens therefore rebase the sOHM tokens by 5%.

    Produce a visualization that shows the impact of rebasing on the circulating supply of sOHM.

    • The rebasing takes every 8 hours, looking at the circulating supply of sOHM, the rebasing doesn't really seem to make a difference.
