The Olympus Post, Volume XXXVI: April 30th, 2023

Olympians!

Here we are, back again with the 36th volume of The Olympus Post. After this edition, we only have one more volume before our official ICO launch for The Pantheon’s native token, PAN. With that being said, you can imagine what most of the focus for the team has been over the last few weeks, and what it will be for the next few weeks to come. Though, there has been some discussions and updates that we have made to Zeus Finance as well.

We see that things are changing for the better here on Mt. Olympus. And as always, we are excited to share our progress with you, and this edition is no exception. In this volume, we will be focusing on three key areas (outside of community) that will be critical to our success: sustainability, marketing, and innovation. Our team has been hard at work, implementing major updates to ensure that our project is ethically responsible and sustainable for the foreseeable future. At the same time, we have been pushing forward with our marketing efforts to ensure that the world knows about the incredible opportunities that await those who join us in our quest. This is all happening while we continue to innovate for the industry, bringing new, useful products and services to the table for Web3.

We believe that our Olympians are destined for great things, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to help you all ascend wealth and achieve real passive income. So, get ready to be inspired by the incredible work that is taking place on Mt. Olympus!

Where We Have Been

As I’ve mentioned plenty of times, we have been building out The Pantheon and refining the goals that we will accomplish both as a team and as a community.

From the very beginning, The Pantheon’s mission has been clear: to consistently provide quality services and products that meet customer demand and business objectives through quality assurance. But it’s not just about delivering on promises — The Pantheon goes above and beyond to ensure that businesses meet a minimum standard of reliability and transparency, establishing itself as a trusted resource for users seeking engagement with projects and organizations.

As you all know, at the heart of Zeus Finance and The Pantheon is a vibrant and passionate community of Olympians, those that are dedicated to spreading the word far and wide about the importance of ethical behavior in the Web3 space. This community is becoming a beacon of light for small start-ups in the space, demonstrating firsthand how community-driven initiatives can be a real driver for success. Without you all, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

I’d say that simply put, the goals of The Pantheon are clear. We want to promote ethical behavior in the Web3 space and to be a voice for transparency, accountability, and responsibility. By doing so, the community is helping to make Web3 a more ethical and trustworthy environment for everyone. This commitment to ethical behavior is not just talk — it is evident in the way we all interact with each other and with the wider Web3 community. Our community is open and welcoming, encouraging collaboration and innovation. You guys recognize that by working together and sharing ideas, we can achieve more than by working alone.

In many ways, Zeus Finance and The Pantheon’s community is a microcosm of the larger Web3 ecosystem. We are proof that by putting ethics, accountability, and community first, success can follow. Our commitment to promoting ethical behavior and practices is an inspiration to all who seek to build a more transparent, accountable, and responsible Web3.

Now, our team has been hard at work on several important initiatives that are designed to improve the platform’s usability, sustainability, and overall value proposition. Here’s a breakdown of some of the key developments that have been taking place:

1st, we have finally integrated RBX’s Non-KYC Fiat On/Off Ramp. The product is called SkipShift, and with it, users can easily and securely on and off-ramp their fiat onto the blockchain without having to go through the often time-consuming and intrusive KYC process. This will make it easier for users to take advantage of the benefits of the blockchain’s decentralization and peer-to-peer transactions.

This innovative technology offers a safe and secure way to transfer fiat to and from the blockchain, and the best part is that it is entirely peer-to-peer. No longer will you have to go through a centralized exchange, dealing with unnecessary fees and limitations. You now have the freedom to conduct your transactions in a more streamlined, secure, and cost-effective way.

As of now, it seems like the liquidity is lacking throughout the platform. As a team, we will be searching for answers from RBX as to when liquidity providers will be available to make the product both useful and useable.

2nd, Zeus Finance and their Olympians of Avalanche collection were blessed with free gifts. The team has partnered with Hatchy Pockets to offer free eggs to NFT holders. The first batch of 25 claims, which allowed holders to claim one Solar Egg and one Lunar Egg each, was claimed within 30 minutes.

The community has another opportunity to claim another round of free eggs this Friday at a later time of day to cater to different time zones.

For those that don’t know, Hatchy Pocket is an Avalanche native GameFi project with digital collectibles that feature 147 unique and highly detailed elemental monsters. It is also a decentralized media IP that is owned and grown by the community through various projects, including games, merchandise, and comics.

3rd, we made major decisions regarding the short term future of the project. The team recognizes the importance of sustainability and has taken several steps to reduce emissions and improve the overall sustainability of the platform.

This includes incrementally decreasing staking emissions to 500 USDC/day — one final decrease before emitting 0 USDC/day — deciding that May 16th will be the last day nodes and staking will have emissions. There will be no more fees once emissions are turned off.

After this, there will be a downtime while the team builds and releases their governance mechanism, shares (previously nodes) as NFTs, assets that will emit USDC based on revenue. These moves will help ensure the long-term sustainability of the protocol while also incentivizing users to hold nodes and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.

Essentially, we are committed to doing what is best for the long-term health of the protocol. By taking this step, we can create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all of us. With the funds that we are saving through a decreased emission rate, we are increasing our marketing budget for The Pantheon ICO, lending towards its success.

Where We Are

Our team is committed to continuously improving the platform and offering new and innovative solutions that help users take advantage of the benefits of Web3 while also promoting sustainability and ethical behavior. These recent developments are just a few examples of the team’s ongoing efforts to build a better, more user-friendly, and more sustainable platform.

As I’ve been declaring for the last month or so, the team has been focusing on the success of The Pantheon’s ICO so that the community can go back to receiving passive income, this time without needing to pay any fees.

So, where are we right now? We are working on a crucial step towards our goal of making Web3 more ethical through The Pantheon. With a focus on developing effective advertising material, we aim to reach a wider audience to promote our vision of a more sustainable and responsible Web3.

So let’s check out what this is all about. We are preparing for an exciting month ahead!

PR & Marketing: Our design team has been working hard to create visually striking, impactful and informative content that conveys our message of ethical behavior and responsibility in the Web3 space. We believe that clear and well-designed communication is key to spreading awareness and building a community around our values.

To get our message across, we have teamed up with an influential personality in the crypto community along with a respected crypto news and insights platform to help us reach a wider audience. We also plan to use the Dexscreener website side-by-side with some other platforms to ensure that our advertising reaches the right audience.

Our marketing push is a call to action, inviting the community to join us in our mission to make Web3 more ethical. We firmly believe that a community-driven approach is the key to success in this rapidly evolving landscape. As such, we are eager to engage with start-ups and small businesses that share our values and ethos, offering guidance and support to help them succeed in the Web3 space.

In summary, where we are right now is in the midst of an exciting marketing push, driven by our values of ethical behavior and responsibility in the Web3 space. We are confident that our efforts will help raise awareness of these important issues and inspire others to join us in our mission to make Web3 a more sustainable and responsible ecosystem for everyone.

Example of The Pantheon’s Quality Assurance ROI Ad

dApp Design: the dApp has been complete for some time. I know that you are all aware. But, where is it?

After delaying it due to priorities of other releases and developments, we have intentions of releasing it soon! “But you’ve BEEN saying that…” I know. We have been running into an implementation issue with the integration of the RBX DEX in Vue, the application that the dApp was designed in. We have been testing it, and as of now, it seems to be working. We are ensuring that the P2P On/Off Ramp will also work correctly upon release with the new design.

Though, just note, once released, the entire dApp will be more user-friendly and visually appealing compared to our current version. The updated design will make it easier for users to navigate the platform and access all its features seamlessly.

Miscellaneous: Outside of the developments for design and marketing, ensuring that the word gets out about The Pantheon and the ICO, we have been working on fostering more partnerships, setting up meetings with potential clients and partners, in addition to developing out The Pantheon’s ‘Ensemble’ a bit more, clarifying what it is that the product will look like and how it will function. We are constantly working to bring value to the space so that our Olympians are rewarded with a great return on their investments. Through constantly innovating and working behind the scenes to accomplish our goals, we will find success.

Plus, don’t forget about our development on our [redacted] product.

Where We Are Going

The future of The Pantheon is one that is both ambitious and exciting. The month of May is quite a significant time for us, with major updates coming to Zeus Finance and The Pantheon. With ZEUS and USDC emissions being stopped, along with the launch of our new token, PAN, the future is looking very bright, with a new business model being implemented, increasing revenue.

Honestly, we envision a world where The Pantheon is not just a foundational infrastructural piece of Web3, but an indispensable resource for anyone looking to engage with the entire ecosystem. Our goal is to make Web3 accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of experience, by providing a comprehensive platform that offers a wealth of resources and tools.

We want to make onboarding into Web3 feel safe and simple, and we are developing out our services to reflect that.

At The Pantheon, we believe that ethical behavior should be the framework for how people interact within the Web3 space. We want to make sure that everyone is transacting with trust, and we are committed to promoting ethical behavior and accountability across the industry. Our ultimate goal is to be the go-to resource for anyone who is questioning how to engage with and become a member of Web3; it will be a place for those desiring to elicit value from the space.

To achieve this vision, we are working on several initiatives, including expanding our platform to offer more resources, tools, and educational materials. We want to create a space where users can learn about the latest developments in the Web3 space and how to engage with them effectively.

As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. We believe that The Pantheon has the potential to be a game-changer for Web3, and we are committed to doing everything we can to make that a reality. Whether you are a small start-up or an established player in the industry, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey and help us shape the future of Web3.

But, is there any more information that I can share that clears up some of the questions that our Olympians have regarding their nodes, their claims, what happens with the ZEUS token itself, etc?

Of course, but allow me to state that I will not provide every answer at this moment, with meetings occurring this week to settle specific elements of the transition.

What I can say is, after the implementation of a new design, a snapshot button will be added to log everyone’s node count, distinguishing between active and inactive nodes. While the team is currently unable to provide more details on how the transition will occur, we will be discussing this matter in an upcoming meeting occurring this week. Rest assured that the team here at Zeus Finance will release news shortly after, clarifying everything for the community.

So just stay tuned and keep an eye out for updates.

**Alpha: We have talked a bit about working on Ensemble, the DYOR Dashboard for The Pantheon. Take a look at what Dionysus and I (mainly Dionysus) were able to put together as a piece of ‘Discovery’ for the platform, even before Apollo works his magic. We would like to just give you an idea of what we mean by having this be an all-in-one DYOR Dashboard.

*This is a working product and does not represent the final version of Ensemble.
