What is New Order?

For those new to the community, New Order is a permissionless, community-driven venture DAO incubator for decentralized financial (DeFi) projects. The platform is led by community members & ecosystem partners and aims to accelerate early stage DeFi applications and surround teams with talent and resources to fast track their growth and development.

What’s been accomplished so far?

We are currently incubating 3 projects (Redacted, H2O, OptyFi) in the DAO which are being built in-house and grew out of the core team's experience being deep in the DeFi community.

• Redacted is a complementary Sub-Dao of the Olympus Protocol and aims to extend the governance process of the Olympus community to the Curve ecosystem.
• H2O is a non-pegged stable asset created in collaboration with Ocean Protocol and Reflexer Labs using a new digital asset class, datatokens, as collateral.
• OptyFi is an automated, machine learning driven, cross-chain yield optimizer.

Earlier today we announced that New Order will be partnering with Outlier Ventures to bring 30-40 DeFi projects to market over the next two years with the first cohort starting early 2022. Finally, we’ve raised $4M in our private investment round that will provide funding and a world class support network to make the DAO an important contributor to the DeFi ecosystem.

How is New Order different from other DAOs?

We’ve gone to great lengths to make New Order a DAO for builders as opposed to one driven by traditional venture capital.

Our first three incubated projects were spun up with deep knowledge of the industry, tackling problems unique to DeFi. Our aim is to continue building with our community and ecosystem partners, and formalize it in a radically transparent process within the DAO framework.

We plan to conduct all discussions in a public forum with sub DAOs, including treasury management, venture development, etc. with the goal of fully passing off the core contracts and voting mechanism to the community late next year.

What is New Order’s thesis?

The New Order thesis is that a venture platform run by a community of DeFi builders can create a powerful DAO treasury to provide continual and valuable resources for builders beyond investment capital.

Our network of DeFi builders will determine what projects get launched to best serve the DeFi ecosystem.

Our thesis for DeFi focuses on machine learning, multi chain strategies, and an expansion to new digital asset classes. As a result, we’ve committed to conducting voting across chains and plan to build and spread treasury funds across many different chains.

With the emergence of NFTs, datatokens and all types of representation of value on-chain, in the coming years we feel these new asset classes will open up unknown and exciting new applications for people which we want to help build.

We expect our initial thesis to evolve with the help of the community and there's no better mechanism for real time evolution than a public facing DAO.

What’s on the roadmap?

Q4 2021

Following the public IDO through Sushi Miso, the $NEWO governance tokens will be distributed for use in snapshot voting in our DAO. During this quarter, we plan to announce and roll out the launches of our in-house DeFi projects to seed the DAO.

Q1 2022

New Order core smart contracts will be extended to multiple EVM chains including Avalanche, Polygon, NEAR protocol, Arbitrum and Moonbeam among others. Voting will be aggregated to capture all votes cross chain.

Our plan is to launch the first cohort of New Order’s accelerator program in partnership with Outlier Ventures - the aim is to bring 30-40 projects to market within 2 years.

Q2 2022

With the core infrastructure set, we will run our first hackathons to attract more developers as the core team has done in the past - our plan is to partner with Gitcoin on this endeavour.

To bring in even more users, we plan to extend the governance token to non-EVM chains and partner networks such as Solana, Terra, and Algorand.

Q3 2022

Finally, in the fall of 2022, all aspects of the DAO will have been fully transitioned into our unique Sub-Dao architecture that has been built in-house.

With the first cohort of 8-10 projects from our accelerator in full swing, we expect to have launched 5-6 internally incubated projects through the DAO and continue the process with additional cohorts.

Finally, we will roll out V2 of our core contracts with cross-chain strategies, an on-chain forum with governance integration, re-designed Dapp marketplace and more.

How does the auction work?

We’re conducting a Dutch Auction through the MISO IDO platform which will give people a chance to set their price and not force through transactions. We wanted to create an inclusive IDO and 24 hours to join will provide enough time for everyone to submit bids.

We chose the Sushi community because we’re aligned with them on the commitment to decentralization and transparency and plan to use SushiSwap as the main hub for liquidity.
