2023
Quarter 4
Oct - Dec
Olas saw almost $1m in profits from the liquidity pools on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain alone.
Remember, the Olas whitepaper launched in January 2023, followed by the public launch of the OLAS token on Ethereum in July 2023. By the end of 2023, the DAO also launched the OLAS token on Gnosis Chain, Solana and Polygon and Valory sponsored a Code4rena audit contest of the Olas contracts.
The initial Fjord Foundry Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool saw $74.6M FDV, 393 swaps, $1.2m in volume, and 14.84 million OLAS tokens (~1.5% of the network) released to 149 holders. By the end of 2023, there were 11.5k holders on Ethereum alone!
With engaged devs learning the how and why of contributing to Olas, before splitting into tracks to start building. You can recap the Academy here.
Bonding was in demand. Olas' unique bonding grew capital in tandem with code to bootstrap Olas’ ocean of services, as one of the three elements of Olas’ Triple Lock, the other two being Locking (e.g. for governance) and Staking (emerging via Staker Expeditions).
By the end of Q3, Bonding products worth >$2.4m were sold - even with months-long locking periods, meaning liquidity was 79% Protocol-owned. 6x expected protocol profits were made on this alone.
By the end of 2023, PoL on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain combined was valued at ~$24m, with the protocol owning close to 100% of liquidity in the pools.
Valory's first Olas Staker Expeditions, Everest, was a success, seeing all slots full and our pioneering Proof of Active Agent (PoAA) concept in action. PoAA differentiated between active and inactive stakers, autonomously rewarding those running active agents. It has enabled us to finetune the experience for stakers before moving on to the next Expedition, Alpine, in the new year. Olas DAO could look to integrate this staking in 2024.
People became excited about Olas Agents as Daily Active Users in crypto.
Overall, Twitter impressions for Valory and Olas surged 18x – as autonomous agents went viral and the community grew, leading to regular, high-reach community-generated content.
Quarter 3
Jul - Sep
Olas earned $100,000 in trading fees from Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) by the end of Q3.
110,000+ transactions completed by Olas agents after the Gnosis Chain hackathon success.
Developers contributed code worth 1.6M OLAS (Epoch 4) and 330K OLAS (Epoch 5) in rewards.
You can learn about the code that was contributed here.
Valory also led an AI update for Contribute, which is being used to decentralize the Olas DAO’s operations, including its Twitter account.
Olas exhibited an infra-app cycle, where applications (like Contribute and prediction agents) drove demand for lower lever infrastructure (like Mechs).
A hackathon aimed to make a mark on Gnosis Chain and Safe, which was achieved when Olas AI agents made the majority of Safe transactions on Gnosis Chain in September. The hackathon centered on a Prediction Agent that consumes Mechs, showing how Olas' infra-app cycle can bootstrap the ocean of agents by providing swarms of AI agents as Daily Active Users for crypto projects.
The hackathon led to co-founders of both Gnosis and Safe sharing Olas' progress, predicting AI agents would shape the future of crypto. It also ignited further collaborations with Gnosis, a new collaboration with Safe, and integrations with GetBlock, Kleros, The Graph and more.
Bonding products currently worth $2.4m+ were sold and continue to sell steadily - even with months-long locking periods, meaning liquidity is 79% Protocol-owned.
David M, DAO founding member, unveiled Olas tokenomics’ Triple Lock, and the DAO voted to add Staking and additional liquidity pairs.
Since the public token launch, @autonolas has received 3.5x the impressions and 5k+ more followers, and is seeing regular community-generated content with 10-50k views.
Quarter 1 + 2
Jan - Jun
OLAS launched publicly via a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool, hitting a $74.6M FDV.
By its end at 6pm UTC, Wednesday 12th July 2023, the week-long Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool that facilitated a decentralized launch for the OLAS token saw:
393 swaps totalling $1.2m in volume.
14.84 million OLAS tokens (~1.5% of the network) released to 149 holders.
The OLAS token fuels a whirlpool fusing capital and code. A tangible, live example of this is the developer rewards programmed in.
Two epochs of developer rewards have already been distributed, and the next developer rewards will soon be accompanied by >1m OLAS!
After developer rewards, the next piece to become live will likely be the Olas Network's unique, Olympus-inspired bonding program, as governance is now reviewing this proposal.
Valory has built 8 crypto-native autonomous services, based on the autonomous agent powered technology of the Autonolas Network (Olas Network for short). Here's a spotlight on three – a comprehensive list appears on the Olas Network site.
Governatooorr
Governatooorr technically means humans may no longer need to read governance proposals to vote and decide organizations’ outcomes, and it already supports the biggest DAOs in the space governing billions of dollars. However, Valory’s goal is to use Governatooorr to show the power of autonomous agent based applications and provoke discussion about building open-source software to harness AI for the betterment of humankind.
Contribute
Contribute distributes points autonomously to those who contribute to #OlasNetwork, with strong week-on-week user growth. The Olas Network's first Protocol-owned Service.
Centaurs
Centaurs enables co-owned AI DAOs to be created via chatbot. So far such DAOs can already create shared memory and post human or AI-created content via a group-controlled Twitter account. However, big things are coming for Centaurs in Q3, so stay tuned for more soon.
Olas Network was deployed on Polygon and Gnosis Chain, collaborated with Gnosis Chain on AI mechs and an upcoming hackathon, generating multiple media appearances like this one.
Valory organized two Crypto x AI conferences, gathering varied expert speakers from organizations including Gnosis, Algovera, Ocean Protocol, and showcasing Olas to >100 attendees.
Two grants for Olas-powered tech were executed, one approved by CoWSwap DAO to build an Olas-powered watchtower, and one approved by Solana to bring Olas-powered Governatooorr to the chain.
Valory co-organized Augment Hack, a decentralized AI Hackathon for ETHCC, alongside Ceramic, NEAR Protocol, Gnosis Chain, Ocean Protocol and StabilityAI.
Valory approved a grant to Algovera AI to explore LLM use on the Olas Network.
Valory built an Olas-powered Python Client for Ceramic.
Ceramic is keen to pioneer Impact Evaluators for DAOs. The toolkit MVP they are funding combines an Olas agent-powered application with Ceramic's dynamic data streams, opening the door to permissionless, self-improving contribution evaluation systems that can be customized for any organization.
Olas Contribute launched - an Olas-powered application for coordinating and rewarding Olas community contributors—complete with dynamic NFT badges.
In total, Contribute awarded 328,815 leaderboard points to 41 contributors, moving them up the rankings and updating their NFT badges accordingly autonomously.
This application was showcased at Epic Web3 summit. Read the blog post introducing the Autonomous Fund here.
The Autonomous (Crypto Fear & Greed Index) Fund is the first example of Smart Managed Pools, powered by Olas and funded by Balancer.
The application autonomously changes the allocations of Managed Pools according to a rich set of predefined conditions. This is now in use by Valory for limited mainnet testing period.
The first Autonomous NFT Collector DAO. This had been running as a single sovereign agent and has now been upgraded to 4 agents, demonstrating the stability of such a complex decentralized off-chain application, remaining in use by whitelisted users from the previous quarter.
Plus, the APY oracle joined the Price Oracle as a production demonstration of how autonomous services can combine crypto native functionalities and AI such as machine learning.
Valory announced a new offering to propel DAOs to a decentralized future that they own: A new subscription model, Propel. This will enable those who want to decentralize and own their stack via Olas' open-source stack, to accelerate their journey.
Propel subscribers will be able to choose the right level of support for their needs, receiving technical consulting from the stack’s creators, one-on-one developer support, a hosted platform preventing DevOps headaches, and more.
Propel facilitates progressive decentralization: efficiently transform manual processes and scripts into a single agent with expert support, coding once, then easily scaling it to a distributed, multi-agent application, then a decentralized application that you own.
The Olas Stack saw continued investment open-source frameworks, finishing the year with >8,000 commits in the two core frameworks alone.

Valory has created an open-source software stack allowing developers to build the next generation of crypto apps: based on autonomous AI agents, making them robust (run with multiple nodes), transparent (open-sourced code) and decentralized (run by multiple operators).
Valory launched the Olas DAO with early adopters, providing a permissionless on-chain protocol for securing, managing, and incentivizing autonomous agent-based applications. Olas aims to enable DAOs to benefit from this new primitive and put Olas agent-powered application at the heart of their off-chain operations.
Olas agents are being built by early adopters, partners, and Valory.
Notable projects like Brahma and Postmint, are building using the Olas Stack.
Valory has run 4 intensive Academy cohorts and launched a free online course. The Academy has produced the first Olas-powered application in use (below). In addition, all the intensive cohorts with Python developers have produced usable code with high enthusiasm and strengthened the dev tooling, documentation & infrastructure, as well as grown the ecosystem of developers.
