The Original OlympusDAO Core Team’s New System After Three Years of Refinement Is Advancing Toward a New Era of On-Chain Financial Order
This week, the on-chain financial world once again turned its focus to OlympusDAO. On January 26th, its official Twitter account, under the tag “13/Φ,” announced the latest deployment progress of Olympus Pact. This protocol, described as a “New On-Chain Financial Civilization Operating System,” is now entering the full-scale construction phase at a steady pace. This marks not only a systematic technical implementation but also a public declaration of OlympusDAO’s self-evolution.
The birth and deployment of Olympus Pact have never been about reassembling individual modules — it is a complete rewrite of the logic behind past financial governance. From the protocol-driven spark to institutionally coded order, OlympusDAO is, through Olympus Pact — a system that integrates code and governance — advancing toward a profound restructuring unprecedented in the DeFi world.
OlympusDAO’s Three-Year Silence Was for the Return of Institutional Integrity
As early as 2021, OlympusDAO kicked off the DeFi 2.0 era with its protocol-owned treasury model (Protocol-Owned Liquidity), fully decentralized governance, and ultra-high APY mechanism. However, with price cycle volatility and limitations of its governance structure, this financial movement of faith faced both rapid expansion and the pressure of quiet contraction.
While most protocols chose to “release updated versions” or “shift platforms,” the original core team of OlympusDAO chose to step back and refine. They did not leave — they returned to the drawing board to conduct a comprehensive reconstruction across mechanisms, institutional logic, governance, and asset backing.
Olympus Pact is the result of this three-year silent incubation — an “institutional reinvention project.” Judging by current deployment progress, it is no longer about releasing a single module or product, but a complete system-level project rolled out in phases by module, aiming to maximize protocol security and governance rationality.
Olympus Pact Is the Institutional Successor to OlympusDAO — Not a Hype Reboot
Unlike many new protocols that claim to be “inspired by OlympusDAO,” Olympus Pact does not conceal its lineage from the original OlympusDAO core team. This is an internally initiated evolution.
As noted in the tweet, Olympus Pact’s system design is a direct continuation of the spirit of proposal OIP-148 — a governance automation and institutional rationalization blueprint that OlympusDAO began drafting in late 2022. The proposal stated: “The future of the protocol should not be dictated by market prices, but guided by institutional design.”
Olympus Pact is no longer a model that simply attracts capital with high APY. Instead, it is rooted in “Sovereign Staking,” “Behavior-Based Governance Scoring,” and “Multi-layer Treasury Asset Mapping.” Its purpose is to protect the protocol’s growth space through institutional structure, and define its resource distribution through governance mechanisms.
This represents a fundamental shift — from price-driven → protocol-driven → protocol-as-order.
Looking Ahead: From Builder to Consensus Editor — Who Will Civilize DeFi?
The official tweet opens with “This week, Olympus Pact enters phased deployment,” and concludes with “Your continued support fuels everything we’re building.”
This is not just community-speak — it is a core declaration of OlympusDAO’s long-termist ethos.
In Olympus Pact’s worldview, the protocol is no longer a tool built by developers and joined by users — it is a civilization network defined by user participation.
Each signature, each stake, each interaction contributes to editing the future chapters of on-chain financial order.
Every deployment step of Olympus Pact is not merely the execution of contracts, but the construction of institutional principles.
The boundaries of the protocol are defined by the depth of consensus among its Builders.
The next deployment timeline and module release schedule will be officially announced next week. Please stay tuned to OlympusDAO and Olympus Pact for synchronized updates.
