Orderly's Governance Proposal Passes: Major Changes Coming
Orderly's Governance Proposal Passes: Major Changes Coming
🗳️ Orderly's big pivot...
Orderly's second governance proposal has passed, bringing significant changes to the protocol's fee structure and staking rewards.
Key Changes (2-month buildout):
- 60% of net fees will fund ORDER buybacks on the open market
- 50% of buybacks go to stakers as esORDER rewards (replacing USDC)
- Remaining 50% flows to a community-governed wallet
Technical Upgrades:
- New VALOR system launches, tied to esORDER treasury
- Current VALOR shares transfer 1:1 to new system
- Stakers can claim existing USDC while keeping VALOR benefits
What's Next:
Community discussions will begin soon to design the initial framework for the community wallet usage.
This marks a shift from USDC rewards to a buyback-driven model aimed at reducing ORDER supply and creating more sustainable value.
1/ Our 2nd governance proposal passed a few days ago. Here’s what happens next (buildout ~2 months): Fee flows - 60% of net fees will go into ORDER buybacks on the open market. - 50% of those buybacks will flow to stakers → rewards pivot from USDC to bought-back esORDER. -
We’re talking big changes to $ORDER buybacks & staking. The first Orderly Improvement Proposal (OIP-1) is now live, redirecting up to 60% of protocol net fees to buybacks, while keeping Staking and VALOR utility intact. Join the conversation on Orderly's forum:
New Governance Proposal is LIVE Redirect up to 60% of fees into $ORDER buybacks. 50% → stakers (esORDER, 3mo vest) 50% → community wallet (use decided via vote) USDC rewards retired → claimable treasury VALOR transitions seamlessly into new esORDER system. Vote 👉
