This is the biggest news no one is talking about πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

(1/16)
Last week one project dropped some serious alpha,

A potential glimpse into an innovative future, a hint of plans yet to come.

But the news fell on deaf ears and the space was silent.

So what exactly am I talking about?
Well, before I drop the big news let's fill in some back story...

Mid Q1 it was announced that the OG NFT project @0n1Force had been acquired by new owners.

A group going by the name of Old Fashion Research.

@0n1Force 0n1 Force was one of the pioneering 2021 projects,

Seemingly destined for blue-chip status.

-The first anime project
-The first side profile project
-The first to run Discord WL

It attracted monumental attention.

But as with many projects, it soon fell on hard times

Funds were mismanaged,
Communication stuttered,

And the dream of a global brand soon began to fade.
Fast forward to the present day and 0n1 is acquired by Old Fashion Research (OFR).

For an "undisclosed amount"... sounds a little juicy huh.

So who the hell are these guys?
This is where things get really interesting...

OFR is blockchain focussed investment fund founded in late 2021.

Let me introduce to you some of its founders:

-Ling Zhang (ex-Binance VP of M&A)
-Wayne Fu (ex-Binance head of corporate development)
-Wei Zhou (ex-Binance CFO)
Impressive hey?

As part of the deal, a community board will also be devised.

Comprised of Zhang and Zhou,

As well as:
- 0n1 new CEO Henry Finn ( @starlordyftw )
- 0n1 new CSO William Tong ( @WilliamTong )
- @YieldGuild COO Colin Goltra ( @Goltra ) (Also a 0n1 investor)
Avengers assemble or what?

It's definitely hard to fade this all-star lineup.

But this still isn't the news I want to tell you about...

Now, I think the back story is well and truly filled in.

So let's continue...
Last week 0n1 dropped this announcement πŸ‘‡

At first glance it's just another partnership,

We see these things all the time.

But Horizen Labs Ventures ( @HLV_XYZ ) certainly isn't your average partner...
HLV is an advisor and solutions platform with a monumental list of clients:

-Yuga Labs
-ApeCoin DAO
-The Sandbox
-Dust Labs

One of their biggest success stories being the creation of the Ape Coin staking mechanism!

That's no mean feat!
Now it's hard to tell exactly what they do for each of their clients,

And I certainly can't predict what they're doing for 0n1.

But the biggest common factor I'm seeing?

Every single one of these names dropped a fungible token. πŸ‘€
I mean... come on!

They literally have a medium article, sub-headlined:

"Primer on how to design tokenomics and why HLV Advisory is your go-to team."

hlv-xyz.medium.com/tokenomics-the-principles-of-design-cedf5773bf98
So, where does that leave us?

Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see 0n1 are working on a token.

And the quick maths I'm looking at?

Fungible token + ex-Binance execs

Well... that can surely only equal success.
I'm definitely not saying this is going to be the next Ape Coin

But with the teams involved here, I'd be surprised if it failed.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this one in the coming months.
That's a wrap! 🌯
