# Issuers

Options Liquidity Mining is designed to provide issuers a new mechanism for incentivizing ecosystem participants. OLM is the more suitable option within our product suite if you want to make a new or existing incentivization program more effective.&#x20;

Issuers acquire assets gradually from recipients receiving & exercising oTokens. OLM is integrated into both treasury management strategies *and* core tokenomics. In contrast to the live auction aspect of bonds where anyone can participate, OLM rewards are gated — meaning they’re exclusive to and shared among program participants with skin in the game.

Contracts are deployed from a Factory, enabling quick and permissionless deployment of OLM instances. Issuers can manually adjust the strike prices each epoch or let it roll over epoch-to-epoch (i.e. without an oracle).&#x20;
