- [✓] Incentivized Testnet Deployment & Community Feedback Loop:
- Public testnet with core functionalities (Leveraged LP, margin trading).
- Faucet, basic frontend.
- GTM Element: Engage power users, gather feedback, run incentivized testing.
- [->] Security Audits: Initial comprehensive audits by reputable firms.

- [ ] Community Building & Comprehensive Early Documentation:
- Establish active community channels.
- Publish user guides, tutorials, developer docs, FAQs.
- GTM Element: Content marketing focused on capital efficiency, leveraged LPing, margin trading.
Phase 2: Expansion & Feature Enrichment (Next 6-12 Months Post-MVP)
- Enhanced Leveraged LP Token Protocol:
- Support for wider range of LP types (concentrated liquidity, structured products).
- Full single-asset collateral initiation for LP leverage.
- Broader DEX integrations, advanced LP oracles.
- Sophisticated risk management tools for leveraged LP positions.
