The OtherDAO builds off this concept, however introduces the idea of rewarding participants in a sustainable way. Our NFT-based liquidity provisioning algorithm achieves this by leveraging Otherdeeds to produce sustainable and reliable $USDC yield.
Effectively, this introduces the idea of a yield-backed governance token, whereby fixed supply, and reliable yield creates a competitive price-floor. This model allows individuals to value the token based on the value of its perpetual yield, as opposed to the dubbed 'ponzi-nomics' of prior DAOs. Put simply, the value of $OTHR is determined by how individuals value the perpetual yield generated by each $OTHR token, which is irrespective of the price of $OTHR. The yield is generated in a sustainable and uncorrelated manner through our NFT-based liquidity provisioning algorithm (i.e., $OTHR price and APR are inversely proportional).
Additionally, $OTHR is backed by a static peg to be determined post-copper, maintained through a portion of treasury assets. In order for any DAO to build up its treasury, it is a necessity to introduce bonding - whereby users are able to inject funds into the treasury in return for discounted and vested $OTHR. OtherDAO utilizes its sustainable $USDC yield to create a system of perpetually-increasing yield through our bonding mechanism. Whilst contrary, this is achievable through bonding being the only source of $OTHR inflation. This results in a net-zero APR delta, as the freshly-minted $OTHR through bonding, if staked, will balance our the APR to its value before the bonding due to the increase in treasury assets (and hence total $USDC yield). Should the freshly-minted $OTHR not be staked, this will result in a positive APR delta. Put simply, the APR can only ever increase through bonding. Hence, OtherDAO is effectively able to introduce the concept of sustainable inflation and perpetually-increasing yields to DeFi.
