Every treasury holding, live on-chain, grouped by strategy. The question: how much of the backing is the protocol lending to itself vs real external reserves?

Ethena, Sky and idle stables: real assets, not OHM
So… is it just a loop?

Mostly, on the big piece: ~2/3 of the backing is USDS lent to OHM holders via Cooler, collateralised by OHM itself (reflexive). But it's not a Ponzi: loans are over-collateralised and non-recourse, so a default just burns gOHM and backing-per-OHM holds. And ~1/5 is real external yield (Ethena, Sky) that governance keeps growing.

Plans to change the allocation

Governance keeps rotating idle reserves into external yield (Ethena, Aave, Morpho), with Cooler as the core. Proposals that move it:
