MahaDAO Roadmap for 2021–2022
Six months ago, the MahaDAO team had shared a roadmap with the community, during the pre-IDO period. A lot has been achieved since MahaDAO’s historic IDO on 17 December 2020 in terms of project maturity, clarity & crystallization of vision, increasing governance, and power of our decentralized MAHA community.
We have not only achieved all of our deliverables for the previous quarter, but also achieved a few of our future deliverables ahead of time.
In this article, we share an updated roadmap of what is in store for MahaDAO. We talk about the community, the product, the ecosystem and give community members an idea as to what they can expect for the coming year.
Now that the ARTH valuecoin has finally launched, the objective for MahaDAO is now to start “SCALING UP”.
Product Roadmap
The objective of the product roadmap is to build in-house products that will help scale the MahaDAO & ARTH ecosystem so that we are creating a bigger impact.
Here we detail some of the innovative products that we are currently working on and when they’d be expected to release.
Arth Vaults / Arth Loans — Upcoming
Arth Vaults is the next major product that will help scale $ARTH to a 1bn$ market cap valuecoin. With vaults, borrowers can borrow $ARTH by putting down crypto collateral (ETH, MATIC, etc ...) and taking out loans in $ARTH.
We believe that this will be a low-risk method of minting $ARTH tokens and at the same time allowing ARTH to play the role of a lending token.
MAHA Incubation platform — Q4 2021
An Incubation platform will be launched in Q3/Q4, allowing the Maha community to participate in the private sale of various upcoming crypto projects that have been incubated by the MahaDAO team.
There are currently three projects in the incubation pipeline. The first one being Scallopx.com (DeFi bank), a platform that allows users to use ARTH alongside their bank account and spend ARTH using a credit card.
All incubate projects have a long-term (10 years) outlook, are driven by experienced founders, and are hand-held by the MahaDAO team. The thesis for selecting incubate projects is to have them in some way grow or expand the MahaDAO/ARTH ecosystem.
ARTH Leveraged Lending platform — Q4 2021
In Q4, we will be introducing a decentralized leveraged trading platform allowing users to take leveraged positions on various volatile crypto assets by taking out loans in ARTH.
Users can take leverage anywhere from up to 2–5x the amount of collateral that they provide. This drives demand for ARTH as users can get more exposure to volatile crypto assets like ETH, BTC, MATIC, etc…
MAHA GMU Oracle Network — Q4 2021
The MAHA GMU (Global Measurement Unit) oracle network will be the most relevant product for the $MAHA token holders as it underpins the utility of the $MAHA token to secure and decentralize the ARTH ecosystem.
This will allow $MAHA token holders to run oracle nodes that would be used to provide the GMU value and secure the MAHA ecosystem. The minimum $MAHA required to run an oracle node is an estimated 10,000 $MAHA.
More to come — 2022
Development Grants, Incubations, and more new products; This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what MahaDAO has in store. The team has a lot going on in the background and this underpins the fact that momentum is not slowing down anytime soon.
Partnership/Ecosystem Roadmap
Once each of the products has been built, tested, and deployed, it is then the objective of the team to focus on the growth of the product. ie Driving more users and increasing adoption and increasing volume.
On this note, we have defined our roadmap into two sections; Crypto Adoption and Retail Adoption.
The initial focus for the first 6–12 months is to focus on crypto adoption for the ARTH & MAHA tokens. This means integrations with various DeFi protocols, blockchains, exchanges, and wallets. The goal here is to make sure we attract decent liquidity and volume before we make ARTH/MAHA available to the retail/institutions and for mainstream adoption.
After the ARTH & MAHA tokens have established themselves properly in the crypto ecosystem, the team will then shift focus to retail adoption which means integration with payment gateways, banks, credit cards, stock markets, etc… (with Scallop itself taking ARTH to over 747,000,000 EU and UK citizens to start with this year.)
Community Roadmap
Community is one of the most important aspects of any project. MahaDAO has one of the most active communities in the crypto space and we focus on growing this community into something bigger than itself over the next 3–6 months.
The MahaDAO community is currently most active on Telegram and Twitter; however, the team recognizes the need for MahaDAO to be present in other platforms as well, such as Reddit and Discord.
A detailed marketing plan for the community has been internally planned out focusing on activities to not only engage community members but also attract more users to our ecosystem. This plan includes activities scheduled for the next 3 months such as giveaways, competitions, cross-promotional activities, airdrops, t-shirts etc…
Community activities will also be driven by contributors and boosted with MAHA tokens rewards. The team has integrated with coordinape.com to help assist in creating decentralized payouts for the various contributors.
The target for the next 3 months is to make sure we have an active and bustling community across Twitter, Reddit, Discord, and Telegram and keep the momentum going on all four platforms.
Conclusion
The roadmap described here is set with an objective to:
- Expand the MahaDAO ecosystem and grow our community
- Attract more users, TVL, and liquidity
- Drive more utility for the $MAHA, $ARTH, $ARTHX tokens
- Generate more fees from the new products
- Establish MAHA/ARTH as one of the powerful forces in the crypto ecosystem
We hope that as the team and the community continue to achieve various milestones, we will soon realize the vision of MahaDAO becoming a “monumental” force in the world.
Oh, and stay tuned for another major product reveal around Christmas, December 2021.
