  • [✓] Core Protocol Development: Vaults, IBTs, initial IRMs, foundational Borrow Protocols (Position, basic Leveraged LP, Flashloan) in Move.
  • [✓] 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.
  • [ ] Mainnet Launch (Minimal Viable Product - MVP):
    • Audited core contracts on a target Move-based mainnet.
    • Initial whitelisted assets and LP tokens.
    • Permissionless vault creation for supported assets.
    • User-friendly dApp interface.
    • GTM Element: Coordinate with foundation, target initial liquidity from community.
    • Initial Liquidity Strategy: Attractive initial APYs, subsidized rates/rewards for key features.
  • [ ] 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.
    • Support for borrowing both underlying assets.
    • Automated/semi-automated rebalancing for Leveraged LP positions.
  • Advanced Interest Rate Models: Introduce 'kink' models, oracle-influenced models. Tools for IRM simulation.
  • New Standardized Borrow Protocols: E.g., basic NFT Collateral Loans, Fixed-Term Loans. GTM: Developer bounties, partnerships.
  • Broader Asset Support & Enhanced Oracle Integrations: More oracles, streamlined process for new asset proposals.
  • Governance Framework V1 (If $YEAP Token is Introduced): Token launch, initial on-chain governance. GTM: Airdrop campaign.
  • Developer Ecosystem Growth & Support: SDKs, developer tools, grants program. GTM: Hackathons, workshops.
  • Cross-Chain Asset Exploration & Initial Bridging: Research and prototyping for bridged assets.

Phase 3: Advanced Functionality & Ecosystem Maturity (12-24 Months Post-MVP)

  • Advanced DeFi Integrations & Composability: IBTs as collateral elsewhere, vaults interacting with external yield sources.
  • Undercollateralized Lending Solutions (Research Intensive Phase): Exploring models with decentralized identity, reputation systems.
  • Cross-Chain Vaults & True Interoperability (Full-Scale, if Securely Feasible): Native cross-chain lending/borrowing.
  • Enhanced DAO Tooling & Governance V2: Sophisticated dashboards, delegation, complex proposals, mature treasury management.
  • Real-World Asset (RWA) Integration: Frameworks for tokenized RWAs. GTM: Target RWA projects, tokenization platforms.
  • Continuous Focus on Scalability, Efficiency, and Cost Reduction.
  • Decentralized Frontend Hosting & Community Frontends.

Ongoing Throughout All Phases:

  • Unwavering Commitment to Security: Continuous audits, bug bounties, risk monitoring.
