**Olympus DAO is redistributing gains from a token burn to Cooler loan holders.** - The OIP-191 burn of 596K OHM tokens increased backing per token from $11.59 to $12.10 in January - This created $0.49 of additional headroom that hadn't been allocated - **Proposal 14** (OIP-194A) will route these gains to Cooler holders over six months - The drip rate will accelerate from $0.10 to $0.82 per gOHM per day - On-chain execution vote scheduled for April 17-24 The proposal ensures that value created through the token burn flows back to protocol participants through increased loan-to-value ceilings.

Olympus DAO's Cooler Loans borrowing capacity is expanding significantly following the passage of proposal 14. **Key Details:** - Borrowing cap increases approximately 8x - Unlocks over 6M in new borrowing capacity - Proposal passed on-chain Friday Cooler Loans offers perpetual, fixed-rate borrowing without price-based liquidations, backed by Olympus reserves and managed through a single dynamic position.

**Cooler V2's Dynamic Borrowing Limits** Olympus's Cooler V2 lending market uses a parameter called **Origination LTV** to set maximum loan amounts per unit of gOHM collateral. This limit increases automatically over time through a mechanism called the "drip." **Key Features:** - The drip rate is controlled by governance votes - LTV can be raised through formal votes but cannot be lowered - Ensures predictable borrowing conditions for all users - Part of Cooler V2's perpetual lending system with 0.5% APR - No liquidations or expirations—loans remain active as long as interest is paid This structure allows borrowing capacity to expand gradually while maintaining protocol stability. All loans are issued directly from the Olympus Treasury, with interest payments flowing back into reserves. Learn more at [olympusdao.finance](https://olympusdao.finance)
