OURO is kind of like hood10, index, or shroom but better imo.
hood10 and index take a fee, buy tokens, hand them out, done. next epoch starts from zero. so when volume cools the payouts just stop. index went from ~156 ETH/day at peak to like 1-2 ETH/day at some point
Ouro pays out from the tax the same way, but converts the other half into full range LP that it never sells. every single trade permanently ratchets up a position that keeps earning after that trade is long forgotten. so instead of only earning off it's own native volume, you're earning off $OURO volume AND the volume of other leading RH coins. if OURO stopped trading tomorrow the reserve still collects on every CASHCAT and PONS swap that crosses it.
and unlike shroom, the reserve pairs against ETH, not against it's own token. every single one of shroom's 57 pools has SHROOM on one side. a PONS/SHROOM pair isn't getting real routing, nobody is trading that pool, and half their "protocol owned liquidity" is just their own coin marked at their own price. a PONS/ETH pair actually gets routed thru. that's real external volume, not reflexive.
basically own OURO and you own chain-level exposure with yield attached, one ticker, nothing to stake or claim. im not fudding shroom as it obviously has its own product that is working and doing good numbers but I do like this design better and its easy to compare to those projects which is why i bring them up! i like shroom
