Valory is the core contributor to Olas. The project is pioneering Web3 infrastructure as the platform for co-ownership of AI, specifically autonomous AI agents. Olas provides the tools for building, running, and incentivizing autonomous AI agents, including its simple desktop app where anyone can own their own agent.

The OLAS token powers governance, incentives, and coordination across a growing ecosystem of agent-based applications. As Olas grew, the need for secure, automated, and transparent token management became critical for supporting its diverse and global stakeholder base.

Key Takeaways: TokenOps x Olas

The Challenge

Valory required a robust and scalable system to manage token vesting across multiple stakeholders, ensuring transparency and compliance.

The Solution

TokenOps provided its SaaS-based token vesting platform, enabling automated tracking, cap table management, and a secure, user-friendly claims experience.

Benefits for Valory

Streamlined token operations, reduced administrative overhead, enhanced stakeholder trust, and smoothened regulatory processes.

The Challenge: Scaling Token Operations for a Growing Ecosystem

As Olas expanded, managing token allocations for different groups of token holders  became increasingly complex. The project required a solution that could:

• Automate intricate vesting schedules and unlocks across multiple stakeholder groups

• Provide a unified, real-time dashboard for cap table visualization and compliance tracking

• Offer a secure, intuitive claims experience for stakeholders, minimizing manual processes and support requests

• Ensure operational flexibility to adapt to new requirements as the protocol evolved

Without TokenOps, Valory faced challenges like:

• Manual Data Entry: Time-consuming and prone to errors.

• Limited Visibility: Difficult for stakeholders to track their vesting schedules.

• Increased Support Burden: High volume of vesting-related inquiries.

The Solution: TokenOps’ Token Vesting Platform

Valory AG partnered with TokenOps to implement a robust, SaaS-based token vesting and cap table management platform.
TokenOps enabled Valory to move away from spreadsheets and manual tracking, offering a single platform to manage the entire token lifecycle.

TokenOps Token Vesting: A Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Initial Assessment & Onboarding: TokenOps worked closely with Valory to understand their specific vesting needs, stakeholder structure, and compliance requirements.

2. Data Migration & Smart Contract Integration: Data from existing spreadsheets or systems was securely migrated to the TokenOps platform, integrating with Olas' existing smart contracts on Ethereum.

3. Schedule Configuration & Role-Based Access: Vesting schedules were created within TokenOps for different groups of DAO founding members specifying cliff periods, vesting terms, and unlocking criteria. Role-based access ensured only authorized personnel could manage the platform.

4. Stakeholder Notification & Claim Portal Deployment: Stakeholders were notified of their vesting schedules and provided access to a custom-branded claim portal where they could monitor their allocations and claim tokens upon release.

5. Ongoing Monitoring & Support: TokenOps provided ongoing support and monitoring to ensure smooth operation and address any questions or issues.
