How Does a DAO Acquire POL, Specifically through a Mechanism like Olympus Pro?

Olympus Pro is a bonding mechanism that allows a DAO to sell its native tokens at a discount in exchange for specific Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens or other reserve assets. Instead of offering high yield incentives to rent liquidity, the DAO purchases the LP tokens directly from users.

The DAO then owns the underlying liquidity, turning rented liquidity into permanent Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL). This exchange is often structured with a vesting period for the discounted tokens.
