Company
Roadmap
This roadmap is a high-level guide to what has been delivered so far and the main areas of focus going forward. It is not a promise or guarantee that any particular feature, integration or expansion will occur by a specific date, and timelines and priorities may change as the project evolves, subject to technical, commercial and regulatory factors.
As the ecosystem grows, the Company expects to:
- prioritize non-custodial, user-controlled designs
- focus on real-world usability and independent merchant adoption, and
- adjust timelines and priorities based on regulatory developments, security considerations, user feedback and available resources.
We are committed to building features that align with real-world needs — evaluated and rolled out based on strategic fit, community feedback, and technical feasibility.
Updated versions of this roadmap may be published from time to time to reflect material changes in progress or priorities.
