Closing the gap between fans and stars with DeFi innovation

Introduction

finance.vote is delighted to announce its first major partnership with the groundbreaking new fan engagement platform Olyseum.

Olyseum is the blockchain-powered social ecosystem that strengthens the connection between fans and stars through Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs). This partnership announcement comes as Olyseum prepares for the upcoming launch of its highly anticipated star-led NFT platform, set to be introduced in the coming weeks.

finance.vote will work alongside the Olyseum team as their official DeFi and Governance infrastructure partner, supporting them in building their decentralised exchange market, price discovery mechanisms, and influence based fan democracy.

NFTs

The upcoming launch of Olyseum’s innovative new NFT market category will fundamentally redefine the NFT landscape, and finance.vote is very excited to support this launch and subsequent roll out.

NFT Auctions and Price Discovery

Olyseum will be one of the first partners to use finance.vote’s soon to be released decentralised auction house.

Using finance.vote’s Binary Search Auction design, which focuses on discovering the optimal price for extremely rare and high value NFTs, Olyseum will bring an exclusive series of NFT drops that will represent a ‘first in the world’ type of NFT.

Finance.vote will also work closely with Olyseum in the design of their new brand of NFTs, supporting them in developing a mechanism to allow for NFT trading.

Liquidity Engineering

Olyseum’s innovative new brand of NFTs will be purchasable with Olyseum’s native utility token ‘OLY’ and given their target valuations. Users will need access to large amounts of tokens.

Currently, the OLY market has very limited depth, with only 4 million OLY tokens available in the Uniswap market.

Olyseum will utilise a combination of the auction.vote exponential token auction, yield.vote liquidity mining, and token staking functionality to bootstrap pools across a range of decentralised exchange venues.

Using these dApps, Olyseum will bootstrap vastly deeper markets allowing larger players to take positions in OLY in advance of their forthcoming NFT releases.

Fan Democracy

Following on from the recent influence.vote test on the London Mayoral Elections, finance.vote will partner with Olyseum to build a v2 of influence.vote that is tailor-made for fan engagement and seamless integration into the Olyseum platform and social media technologies.

Olyseum’s growing roster of stars who have vast social media reach, will be the test bed for a new NFT based social token governance system that will allow stars to engage in social consensus games with their biggest fans.

Fan democracy will utilise social tokens such as NFTs to reach consensus with their fans and build the content that they want.

dApp Suite Adoption

Olyseum is the first in a wave of cutting edge products that will utilise finance.vote’s dApp suite. Using bank.vote, auction.vote, yield.vote, and now influence.vote, Olyseum will be the first major project to adopt and showcase the far-reaching potential of the finance.vote ecosystem as a major player in DeFi infrastructure.

By adopting our dApp suite, DeFi and projects such as Olyseum can build a token economy and governance ecosystem, whilst concentrating on their use cases and driving adoption to their products.

Commenting on the announcement, finance.vote founder Dr. Nick Almond said:

“It was only a matter of time before the Cryptospace would change the way that celebrities engage with their fans online. With this partnership, we will bring our expertise in governance and token economics design to the Olyseum ecosystem, ensuring that our governance infrastructure is tailored to one of the most vast and exciting of markets — the fan engagement space.

We will help connect fans all over the world to the stars they admire with our voting technology and utilise our auction tech to discover the price of some of the highest value NFTs we’ve seen so far in the Cryptospace.

The sheer size of the network effect that celebrities and stars open up will be what genuinely drives cryptocurrencies and NFTs to the masses, and this collaboration aims to position both Olyseum and finance.vote at the forefront of that charge.”

Carlos Grenoir, Olyseum founder and CEO said:

“This partnership announcement comes at a hugely significant juncture in Olyseum’s journey, as we prepare for the imminent launch of our new star-led NFT platform. The finance.vote team shares our vision to drive innovation within the DeFi and rapidly expanding NFT spheres, and given the natural synergies between Olyseum and finance.vote, we are well positioned to make significant headway in the near term on some very exciting initiatives.

The technical acumen and industry knowledge of the finance.vote team will be invaluable as we refine our focus on NFTs and social tokens, the utilities of the new voting technologies combined with discovery and organic assignment of value. Moreover, embarking on a rich phase of collaboration will also deliver a new framework for fans, stars, brands and startups to communicate and generate value in a much more efficient way. We can’t wait to get started, democratising access to the stars, and their reach.”

Summary

Olyseum represents a new evolution of how blockchain technology can bridge the engagement gap between celebrities and their fans, merging cryptocurrency, NFTs, and decentralised governance.

It is a partnership that showcases how finance.vote will become the consensus layer for DeFi. Not only will this partnership create a foundation for Olyseum’s token economics and governance, but it will also drive DeFi innovation into mainstream culture.
