Roadmap

You won't find dates on our roadmap, and that's deliberate. The industry is full of roadmaps written for investors and missed by engineers. We're building deep technical infrastructure: a sovereign chain, native cross-chain settlement, non-custodial signing. Forcing that work into a marketing calendar is how projects break promises or worse, ship broken code. Phase 1 mainnet is a certainty, not a target. The wallet is live, the exchange will follow, and the proof will be in the product.

Phase 1: Mainnet Launch

The foundation: order book spot DEX, bridge, web and mobile wallet

  • SB Chain mainnet genesis: RDPoS consensus live
  • SwapBlok Wallet live: dfns.io MPC-TSS non-delegated signing active at launch; no seed phrases
  • sBridge live: Ethereum (ETH + ERC-20), Solana (SOL + SPL), Bitcoin (BTC), Tron (USDT TRC-20)
  • Order book DEX live: limit orders, stop orders, fill-or-kill; fully on-chain matching
  • Pre-TGE community points programme converts to SBT airdrop (100M tokens distributed at TGE)
  • SwapBlok-operated arbitrage and inventory bots active from day one
  • Security audit reports published; bug bounty programme open
  • Public API available for external market makers and arbitrage operators

Revenue begins from day one on every order book trade. No AMM required for fee generation.


Phase 2: AMM and Liquidity Layer

Full liquidity infrastructure & Token Generation Event (TGE)

  • AMM engine deployment: constant product pools live on SB Chain
  • Full pool suite launched: wETH/wUSDT, wBTC/wUSDT, wSOL/wUSDT, wETH/wSOL, wETH/wBTC, wSOL/wBTC, wETH/wUSDC, wBTC/wUSDC, wSOL/wUSDC, plus all SBT pairs
  • LP reward programme live: two-layer rewards (native taker fees + SBT distributions from protocol revenue)
  • Exchange router activated: order book and AMM unified behind single execution interface
  • External market maker onboarding programme launched
  • LP incentive campaigns for initial pool seeding
  • SBT genesis distribution: team and contributor allocations subject to 12-month cliff and 24-month linear vest; encoded in genesis file
  • Witness pay vesting set to 90 days at genesis; block rewards vest before withdrawal
  • SBT distributed to genesis witnesses
  • Year 1–2 governance milestone: Foundation votes published 72 hours in advance; community governance council election initiated

With AMM live, SwapBlok supports the full cross-chain swap flow for retail users. Volume and revenue compounds. Token Generation Event.


Phase 3: CDP Leverage, RWA, Lending & Borrowing

On-chain leverage without counterparty risk

  • Collateralised Debt Position (CDP) module activated, built on the call_order_update_operation system already present in the BitShares-inherited codebase
  • Users lock wETH, wBTC, or wSOL as collateral and borrow wUSDT against it at a configurable collateral ratio
  • Borrowed wUSDT can be used to buy additional assets on the exchange, enabling leveraged long exposure
  • On-chain liquidation engine enforces minimum collateral ratios without any centralised margin desk
  • Seven-member community governance council established with veto rights on fee schedule changes
  • RWA tokenisation platform launched: real-world assets issued and traded as on-chain tokens via SB Chain's native asset issuance system
  • Peer-to-protocol lending module: users supply wETH, wBTC, wSOL, or wUSDT to lending pools and earn interest from borrowers, with rates set algorithmically based on pool utilisation
  • Peer-to-protocol borrowing: users post collateral and draw down loans in any supported wrapped asset without a credit check, KYC requirement, or centralised approval; all terms are enforced on-chain
  • Non-custodial lending: at no point does SwapBlok or any third party hold lender funds; deposits remain in on-chain smart contracts governed by SB Chain consensus
  • SBT staking integration: SBT holders can stake into lending pools to earn a share of interest revenue, deepening the SBT demand flywheel beyond the existing buyback-and-burn and LP emission mechanisms

CDP leverage ships faster than perpetuals because the core logic is already in the codebase.


Phase 4: Perpetual Futures

Professional derivatives layer

  • Perpetual futures contracts with continuous funding rate mechanism
  • Oracle price feed network for mark price and index price separation
  • Insurance fund for absorbing bad debt from underwater liquidations
  • Partial liquidation engine for large positions
  • Self-funded development from protocol fee revenue accumulated in Phases 1–3
  • Year 3–4 governance milestone: full transition to community governance underway

Perpetuals require new protocol infrastructure not present in the existing codebase: oracle feeds, funding rate engine, and insurance fund. Timeline is subject to dev capacity and ecosystem demand established in earlier phases.
