2021 will remain a year to remember for many things outside the MahaDAO realm — the vaccines & mutations, moreover, the acceptance of living with a deadly virus as part of life, Biden, Trump (& his infamous Twitter ban), the Taliban takeover, & the rising inflation..

Within the MahaDAO realm, only positives, getting us one step closer to the ultimate goal with every small step. As we sow the seeds for a brighter, more transparent, more decentralized future, we are optimistic that we will reach there sooner than expected.

We’re more than a year old. Can you believe it? How time flies… Let’s take a look back at 2021!

The first paddle

When we first started conceptualizing MahaDAO, we had two goals in mind: (a) MahaDAO should provide value to citizens of the world & (b) MahaDAO should give power in the hands of the people. This directly inspired us to come up with ARTH, the world’s first valuecoin & MAHA, the DAO-empowering token.

Envisioning the future of MAHA & ARTH

After countless brainstorming sessions, discussions with average middle-class citizens, studying policies, ideas, and workshop sessions with economists from around the world, team debates, pilot programs, & surveys ARTH & MAHA were brought to life.

MahaDAO IDO was the world’s first successful IDO to defeat the bots. The whitelisting campaign, which 99% of projects follow to this date, and which spurred almost 50 launchpads was conceptualized by MahaDAO. MahaDAO rewrote the rules for every project ever since. The successful MahaDAO IDO launch provided Polkastarter with a great kickstart. People from all over the space started to reckon with MahaDAO. This was the time when MahaDAO saw an influx of highly optimistic community members connecting to achieve a common goal.

We touched all-time highs, broke all charts, featured on renowned publications & trended on almost all price tracking apps.

This was the first paddle in a long long journey to come…

Laying the first stone

Remember goal #1? Delivering value. At MahaDAO, we have always been hellbent on delivering value. While ARTH Beta was a researched version, we eventually deciphered the code for keeping ARTH stable & valuable & launched on Polygon Mainnet.

Fun Fact: ARTH has grown 1.8x when compared to the USD in 2021 because of its unique basket of assets

With the ARTH v2 launch, MahaDAO proved that the ARTH valuecoin works flawlessly, stores value, & provides long-term stability to its holders.

Leading the way with true decentralization

The suffix after MAHA is what makes MahaDAO great. We have to live & breathe like a DAO. Without true decentralization, MahaDAO is nothing, even if it was for a perfectly stable & sustainable valuecoin.

In 2021, MahaDAO introduced multiple levels of governance to achieve this goal — the voting portal, discussion platform, DAO Patrons to name a few.

More governance with MAHAX

With the introduction of MAHAX, MahaDAO was able to provide a more long-term view to the project. MAHAX holders get privileged access at most fronts & with the launch of products like MahaStarter & potential future products, MAHAX users can attain regular benefits for their long-term loyalty.

Another Fun Fact: More than 20% of the current circulating supply is locked for MAHAX at the time of writing.

The magnanimous MahaChain

It was only recently that we announced the most significant update in the history of MahaDAO — MahaChain.

MahaChain is a DAO-powered Blockchain that will host incentives for dAPP creators. It will allow MAHAX holders to run a node with rewards & uses a Proof of Stake (POS) method. The chain uses ARTH as the backbone of all transactions, providing reliable & non-volatile transaction costs to both users & dAPP creators.

This has been in the making for the past 6 months. The dev team has developed the core of what will first be introduced in countries with very high inflation such as Venezuela, Turkey, Nigeria, etc.

2022 & beyond…

If 2021 was the debut, 2022 will be the big jolt. The upcoming year will cement MahaDAO as a key player in the space. MahaDAO will make multiple tides through its various launches in geographies such as Venezuela.

While 2021 was all about great learnings, iterations & implementations. It was also flagged with bottlenecks created by private sale investors. 2022, however, will offer more space to grow, more value to bring, & more grounds to conquer.

We have a lot to look forward to… We have a lot to do… A lot happening behind the curtains… Anything you can guess?

Don’t forget to join us in our journey & become a MahaDAO Patron now.
