The OVN token serves multiple purposes within the Overnight protocol, functioning as a utility token with significant roles in governance, incentives, and risk management.
The issuance of OVN aims to achieve two primary goals:
Promotion and Popularization of USD+: OVN is utilized for bribes to encourage the adoption of USD+.
Decentralized Risk Management: OVN provides voting rights that are essential for establishing robust risk monitoring and management processes.
The OVN token aligns community incentives by rewarding support for conservative risk decisions and allowing holders to veto aggressive strategies.
The Overnight Insurance Vaults are a recent innovation by the Overnight protocol, allowing OVN holders to stake their tokens in exchange for insurance premiums. This initiative aims to provide added security and yield opportunities for users, fostering a stronger community engagement in risk management.
Staked OVN tokens will earn a portion of the yield produced by the strategies that are insured. However, it's important to note that not all strategies will qualify for insurance.
In cases where the insured strategies incur losses, these will be covered from the Insurance Vault, providing an additional layer of protection for stakers.
On profitable days, any excess yield generated will accrue to the Insurance Vault. This excess yield will be utilized to purchase OVN from the market, contributing to upward pressure on the token's value.
Buy and Hold: The tokenomics are designed to maximize value over the next 30 months, making this a straightforward strategy for exposure to OVN.
Buy and Stake OVN/USD+ LP: This strategy generates additional yield from revenue but may limit upside potential and increase downside risk through impermanent loss.
Buy and Stake into Insurance Vault: This approach can yield additional income from insurance premiums, with potential risks if strategies incur losses.
Total Supply: 1,000,000 tokens (fixed supply; no additional emissions planned).
