Summary
Formalize a partnership to align Debt DAO and Olympus. Debt DAO will provide Olympus with 3.33% of its governance token at launch, which it can use to stake and take part in the governance of Debt DAO. Olympus commits that it will not reduce its exposure to Debt DAO’s governance token and will provide advice and assistance to Debt DAO as it launches and builds out its roadmap. We are posting this OIP after the AMA and the request for comment post: https://forum.olympusdao.finance/d/816-request-for-comment-debtdao-x-olympus-partnership
Background
We are Debt DAO - we're providing debt to DAOs.
DAO debt is an extremely underutilized primitive for financing within the DAO ecosystem.
We're looking toward providing revenue based financing solutions for DAOs looking to keep tokens, with a vision towards creating a marketplace that becomes the ultimate coordination layer for how DAO seek debt. To this end, we've begun partnership discussions with Fei, Frax, Inverse, and a few other DAOs on sourcing capital into our pools.
We have an experienced core team:
William X Gitcoin Steward Former: Commonwealth, Index Coop, Llama Community, Nethermind
Kiba Gateaux - Index Coop/Titans of Data, Formerly: Metafactory, Full Stack Dev @ Consensys, Cream Listing Committee
saganaki11 - Tradfi Debt Structuring former PieDAO
We have some of great angel investors who have committed to take part in our raise:
Anton Bukov, Cofounder of 1inch
Joey Santoro, Founder of Fei
Jai Bhavani, Cofounder of Rari Capital
DCF God, God at DCF
Francisco Renzi, Founder of Superfluid
Onetruekirk, Founder of Volt
Dillon Chen, Founder of Commonwealth
(More, but you can check out here for these details)
Our current proposed token distribution is as follows:
20% for team and early contributors (with vesting linearly over 4 years)
5% for LBP
10% for Olympus Pro
3.3% for Olympus (vested linearly over 18 months)
15% for further fundraising
36.7% Community treasury
10% for token swaps with other DAOs
Our roadmap is to:
Q1 2022
- Start scaling DAO lines of credit
- Execute strategic raise
- Further developing partnerships
- LBP + OP
Q2 2022
Q3 2022
We have already secured 10 million+ in deal-flow pipeline with multiple well known DAOs.

Motivation
Our motivation for wanting to align Debt DAO and Olympus is because we share the same values. Olympus and its community have a laser focused mission, value integrity and decentralization, and play positive sum games - those are values we share and hope to embed in our community.
Our protocols are complimentary - on its journey to being the decentralized reserve currency - Olympus will need partners to assist it in managing excess treasury reserves to earn yield - Debt DAO aims to be able to fill that need through its debt borrowing aggregation.
Keeping part of our treasury in gOHM will align Olympus’ success with ours - and vice versa - where Olympus holds our governance token.
Proposal
Following discussions with the Olympus DAO partnerships contributors - we propose the following partnership with Olympus to align our communities from launch and into the longer term:
Debt DAO provides:
3.33% of governance token to Olympus - vested linearly over 18 months - so Olympus can take part in our governance - on the condition that Olympus retains and does not dispose of these tokens
We propose to conduct our launch LBP in OHM using Olympus LBP funding - with intention to hold a portion of treasury and liquidity in gOHM
Priority for Debt DAO to integrate OHM as a lending option into its products, following OHM’s current early growth phase
Priority access for Olympus to use our products to generate income for its stablecoin treasury from our borrowing system
Olympus Provides:
Recognition of Debt DAO as an aligned partner
Priority access to Olympus’ launch and liquidity products
Advice and assistance with our launch from Olympus DAO contributors and consultation on our roadmap and strategy into the future
Participation in our governance (likely through a delegate)
Co-marketing for our upcoming LBP in OHM
Feeless use of Olympus LBP funding
Recommendation of Debt DAO’s products to appropriate partners and users accessing Olympus products
Consideration of integrating of Debt DAO products to Olympus Pro front-end - provided they are suitably brand appropriate and mature
