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. -

AI Agents Now Build and Customize Perpetual DEXs on Orderly Network
Orderly Network has introduced AI agent integration through Starchild, enabling automated development of perpetual decentralized exchanges. **Key capabilities:** - Create custom features for Orderly-powered perp DEXs - Generate go-to-market plans automatically - Build automated trading strategies - Construct perp DEXs from scratch - Implement tools like tradeable geo-politics maps and live news terminals The workflow is straightforward: ask an AI agent to launch a perp DEX using Orderly MCP/skills, brainstorm new features, and have the agent implement them directly into your Github repository. This integration aims to lower technical barriers for builders wanting to create trading platforms across any blockchain using Orderly's omnichain infrastructure.
DEXs Share Why They Build on Orderly: Speed, Cost, and Security

**Why DEXs Choose Orderly Network** Developers building perpetual DEXs on Orderly cite four key advantages: - **Rapid deployment**: Launch a perp DEX in under 24 hours - **Low barrier to entry**: Free to create, with revenue features costing just $10 - **Ready infrastructure**: Access 100+ trading markets across 12+ chains immediately - **Battle-tested security**: Proven, secure solution versus building from scratch This follows Orderly's recent introduction of negative maker fees (up to -0.5 bps), allowing DEXs to pay traders rebates for placing limit orders—another tool for growth alongside permissionless listings and vaults.
Orderly Network Burns 3.25M $ORDER Tokens, Restructures Fee Distribution

Orderly Network's third governance proposal has been implemented, introducing significant changes to tokenomics: **Key Changes:** - **3.25M $ORDER tokens** permanently burned from circulation - Buyback allocation **reduced from 60% to 30%** of net fees - **100% of buybacks** now distributed to stakers as esORDER (previously split) - Community-governed wallet **retired** - Protocol now **retains 70% of net fees** for product development and growth The restructuring shifts focus toward protocol sustainability while maintaining staker rewards through concentrated buyback distribution. The token burn reduces total supply, while the increased fee retention aims to fund ongoing development of the omnichain trading infrastructure.
