Welcome AQTIVATORS to our first roadmap and marketing update post-launch day. We wanted to ensure everything was running smoothly before sharing our plans for the next few months.
Over the last few months, building a stable and functioning product has been our top priority. That remains the case, and our roadmap involves improving the dApp experience to make it simpler but more capable in the months ahead.
But as we go beyond launch, we can now start to look at the most effective ways of helping AQTIS reach as many people interested in sustainable, competitive yield as possible.
Below we share the features we’re building and the marketing we’re planning.
Product Roadmap
The below upgrades are due to be completed over the next three to four months.
dApp Dashboard
We’re bringing analytics to the AQTIS dApp! We’re working on a dashboard that allows users to get a birds-eye-view of what’s happening inside the AQTIS ecosystem. On the dashboard you’ll be able to see:
- Number of trades being made by our autonomous trading system backed by our quant-tech, what are the hottest coins being traded, TVL, and more.
- Market cap and liquidity utilization — you’ll be able to see the health and status of the AQTIS ecosystem in more detail.
Portfolio historical data
We’re actively updating the portfolio page on the dApp to allow users to see the historical performance of their LSTs over time.
Optimize fetch balances
We’re making a number of refinements to the fetch balance feature. This should help make the user experience more seamless and faster.
Show avatars and make NFTs visible in the dApp
For the hard-working community members who earned their NFTs for being an integral part of our community, this upgrade will mean the NFTs will be visible in the dApp.
For those who missed out on the NFTs, never fear! We’re integrating avatars into the dApp so you can personalize your experience.
Quant v2
Our quant team has been busy creating a robust trading system that can successfully navigate the turbulence of the crypto markets.
In V1 of the quant system, we built eight trading strategies for our own list of up to 20 coins, as well as a system to manage the successful entry and exit of each trade to create consistent, sustainable yield.
But in V2, we’re expanding the number of coins to all the available coins in the market. This allows us to capitalize on the growth and volatility of the wider crypto economy at a much higher rate, removing a possible survivor bias in our coin selection.
In testing, Quant V2 is significantly more effective at generating yield than V1. This new system allows us to detect bullish movements earlier, as well as improve performance during bear markets.
We’ll be releasing a more comprehensive blog post on this at a later date.
Marketing Roadmap, summer 2024
Below is a list of marketing initiatives we are currently working on and will look to deliver in the next 12 weeks. Going forward, we will be issuing weekly updates in our social channels on what we are working on.
Exchange Listings
One of the fastest ways of supercharging growth is to help make our AQTIS token as widely available as possible. In crypto that means centralized exchanges.
We are adopting a tiered approach to getting AQTIS added to exchanges. We’ll be starting with smaller more strategic exchanges to help build trading volume, before moving up to a mid-tier, and ultimately, top-tier exchanges.
Our ultimate goal is for $AQTIS to be easily accessible all over the world. We expect to announce our first exchange partnership in the next 4–6 weeks.
Ending Transaction Taxes
Our transaction tax was designed to help bootstrap AQTIS in the early days. The 4% transaction tax helped us accelerate our growth, which ultimately helped facilitate other features in the AQTIS ecosystem, such as token buy-backs.
We’re now moving towards abolishing the transaction tax altogether. By lowering the barrier of entry for users, we believe it will help make our LSTs even more competitive in the wider DeFi market.
We explored moving from Uniswap V2 to V3 and are now also exploring a full token migration. More details to follow.
Announcing our first market maker
We’re very excited to announce we’re in advanced talks with our first market maker. For those unaware, market makers act as intermediaries between supply and demand for tokens, which allows traders to exit their positions smoothly and at short notice.
While AQTIS already has seamless entry and exit, incorporating a market maker allows us to scale more quickly and spread liquidity to a third party, which provides the additional benefit of reducing the Ethereum network gas fees — if you buy from a centralized exchange.
Private Yield Function
The Private Yield Function is a unique feature specific to AQTIS. We have created a unique feature that allows you to select whether you want your yield to be visible on the public blockchain, or kept private.
If you select the public option when you collect the yield on your assets, that transaction will be visible, and therefore trackable to anyone monitoring transactions.
If you select private however, your yield will be directed through the Oasis Privacy Layer, which will obfuscate the transaction, (more information on that below) ensuring no one can keep tabs on the yield generated by AQTIS LSTs.
We are in the advanced stages of finishing this feature and aim to deliver it this summer.
Claim your assets in multiple currencies
This is a big one! We’re working on something radically different from what you can find in other parts of the DeFi world.
By now you’ll be experiencing the consistent yield provided by our LSTs. At present, that yield is delivered across three different currencies:
- $AQTIS
- USDC
- ETH
This summer, however, thanks to a unique partnership in the works, users will be able to claim assets in other currencies. So in addition to the above three, users will be able to build a portfolio of currencies just by collecting the yield baked into our LSTs. All within the dApp.
This would make managing a portfolio of currencies possible within our dApp. More details on that to come.
