Roadmap

Last Updated: July 2025 – Version 3

Blockchain moves fast. So do we. Paragon is evolving from a classic AMM into a Flow DEX where swaps are intents, orders are batch-cleared, and surplus is shared between traders, LPs, and $XPGN lockers. Alongside, we’re launching on-chain index tokens (P10, etc.) with transparent mint/redeem.

We avoid rigid dates, but we publish clear deliverables, gates, and safety checks. Some details (solver internals, production infra) stay private until launch to protect users and IP.

Status legend

  • ✅ shipped - 🧪 testnet beta - 🧱 in progress - 🧭 researching / queued

NOW → Testnet Sprint (3–4 weeks)

1) Flow DEX (PoBE) — intent mode

  • 🧪 EIP-712 Intents (sellToken, buyToken, amountIn, minOut, deadline, prefs)

  • 🧪 Micro-batcher (1-block windows on BNB testnet)

  • 🧪 Default solver (Paragon pools only, single/multi-hop)

  • 🧪 FlowSettlement contract

    • verifies signatures & minOut, executes best path via Router

    • computes surplus and splits default 60% trader / 30% LPs used / 10% stXPGN lockers

  • 🧪 Rebate vaults

    • TraderRebateVault (instant claim / auto-stake to stXPGN)

    • LPRebateVault (accrues by pool + block snapshot; claimable by LPs)

  • 🧪 UI: “Swap with Intent (beta)” toggle, “You saved X%” cashback banner

  • 🧱 Paragon Shield integrated path (private submission, anti-MEV, slippage guard)

Quality gates to graduate testnet → mainnet

  • ≥ 500 intents settled, revert rate < 1.0% (non-user error)

  • Surplus accounting equals solver trace (± 0.01%)

  • No P0/P1 bugs for 7 days; emergency pause tested on-chain

2) Index Tokens (P10 first)

  • 🧪 P10 (Top-10 index) ERC-20 with on-chain NAV

  • 🧪 BasketOracle

    • NAV = basket TWAPs (AMM oracles) + external median (rate-limited)

    • Circuit breakers & max drift before mints/redeems pause

  • 🧪 Mint/Redeem flows

    • mint by depositing the basket or single-asset zap

    • redeem to basket or single asset (subject to caps and slippage)

  • 🧪 UI: P10 page (what it tracks, live NAV, premium/discount, mint/redeem)

  • 🧱 Rebalancer sim (off-chain/keeper), dry-run events & costs

Quality gates

  • NAV error vs reference < 0.20% median, < 0.50% max under stress

  • Rebalance simulation across 30 days without exceeding caps

  • Pause & emergency remove-component flows validated

3) Farms, Gauges & Analytics

  • 🧱 Utilization metrics (volume share, price-impact smoothness, liquidity-minutes)

  • 🧪 Display Flow Earnings on LP pool pages (separate from swap fees)

  • 🧪 Best-Execution Leaderboard (top trader savings, top LP flow earners)

  • 🧱 Type-safe SDK v1 (intents + rebate reads) and indexer/subgraph updates

4) Security & Ops

  • ✅ All contracts verified; timelocks + multisig in place

  • 🧱 Unit & integration tests (surplus proofs, snapshotting, pause paths)

  • 🧪 Public testnet bounty (low/medium findings rewarded)

  • 🧭 External review slot booked (light audit) before mainnet flip

Mainnet Launch – Phase A (immediately after testnet gates)

Scope (controlled rollout):

  • 🚀 Flow DEX ON for a whitelist of liquid pairs

    • Surplus split 60/30/10 (configurable by governance)

    • Protocol cut 0–5% of surplus (can start at 0%)

    • Caps per-tx and per-block to bound risk

  • 🚀 P10 mainnet with supply cap and guardian reweights (no auto-rebalance at T0)

  • 🚀 LP Flow Earnings claims enabled

  • 🚀 Trader Cashback Mining (temporary launch program, accounted in analytics)

  • ✅ Classic Router remains available (user toggle)

Public comms: postmortem of testnet metrics, safety notes, how cashback works.

T+30 days – Phase B

  • 🧱 External DEX routing in solver (Thena, Pancake, etc.) with per-venue caps

  • 🧱 BribeFlowMarket (beta) — protocols can bribe order-flow, not just gauges

  • 🧪 veFlow + Utilization Gauges (lock $XPGN → vote emissions + surplus-routing weights)

  • 🧱 Index family expansion: P20, L1-10; improve single-asset zaps

  • 🧪 Protocol surplus fee to 2–5% (shared with lockers), subject to DAO

KPIs: Flow adoption (>30% of swaps in intent mode), average user savings, LP flow APR.

T+60–90 days – Phase C

  • 🧱 Open solver registry (third-party executors with bonds/SLAs)

  • 🧱 Advanced multi-hop & path bundling across venues

  • 🧪 Audits round-2 + bounty expansion

  • 🧭 Auto-rebalance module for P10/P20 under DAO control

  • 🧭 Exploratory: intent-based RFQ for large orders; AMM “hooks-ready” pools

Long-Horizon (exploratory)

  • 🧭 Cross-chain intents (BNB ↔ other L2s)

  • 🧭 RWA & yield-bearing basket variants (gated by oracle quality)

  • 🧭 Paragon Chain considerations (if/when infra & economics align)

Token & Governance notes

  • Ticker: $XPGN (replaces PRGN throughout the docs)

  • stXPGN (PID-0): governance boosts; receives 10% surplus share (default)

  • Emissions redirect: gradually shift 10–20% to Utilization Gauges after veFlow launch

  • DAO controls: surplus split, protocol cut, solver whitelist, index components/caps, pause roles

What we keep private (until go-live)

  • Detailed solver heuristics & scoring

  • MEV-protection routing specifics beyond public guarantees

  • Ops runbooks and alerting thresholds

We publish interfaces, safety guarantees, and user-visible economics; we hold back anything attackers could front-run before launch.

Changelog cadence

We’ll keep a short bi-weekly changelog on GitBook during testnet: what changed, what to test, known issues, and where to report bugs.
