DeFi Alliance evolves into AllianceDAO

The transition was announced on Thursday as DeFi Alliance renamed itself "AllianceDAO" with the support of several hundred crypto and tech industry builders. More than 300 backers have joined the decentralized autonomous organization ( DAO), investing about $50 million in the first round. This includes Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, OxMaki from Sushi's fouding team, Crypto.com co-founder Bobby Bao, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer, and Do Kwon, founder of Terra.

The team described the newly formed AllianceDAO in a blog post as a "digital start-up nation." It will build the infrastructure for an ecosystem that encourages the best Web3 founders to use the services of an accelerator and then stay on as mentors to future founders. The goal is also to grow the DAO to provide governance, recruiting, liquidity, marketing, advisory or other potential start-up support services.

What is DeFi Alliance?

Initially founded by Imran Khan and Qiao Wang, DeFi Alliance has accelerated 90 start-ups since its launch in early 2020, including some of the most widely used DeFi projects on Ethereum-0x, Alpha Finance, dYdX, Kyber, Olympus DAO, Paraswap, Ribbon Finance, Sushiswap, Synthetix, and Zerion.

People who are not part of the original group of contributors will also have the opportunity to participate, such as Web3 founders going through the Accelerator and DAO contributors helping to develop and run the DAO or for example supporting the cohort founders. AllianceDAO has announced that it will release a whitepaper in the coming months with more organizational structure and governance details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
