Minterest Roadmap: What’s Next
Updated on April 2, 2024. Changes logged at end of article.
Minterest’s mission is to be the leading decentralised money market in Web3. Its unique value is offering the highest long-term yields to liquidity suppliers at the lowest cost of lending to borrowers.
To achieve the mission, there are two key objectives required:
- TVL: Offering liquidity suppliers the most robust and liquid money market.
- Accessibility: Providing seamless and barrier-free access to all users irrespective of the intermediary application or blockchain.
This article explores the near future for Minterest’s go-to-market roadmap, detailing the key upcoming phases that begin the march towards achieving Minterest’s mission. If you have not read the prior post that provides a baseline for Minterest’s current state, we would recommend you read it first here.
As a preface, the Minterest protocol has been operating without issue in a closed beta format (i.e., Private Launch) since early 2023. All subsequent development will build upon the underlying smart contracts, so that Minterest LP’s do not need to change their behaviour in any way.
1. Roadmap
1.1 Public Access: Q1 2024
Public Access opens the protocol to anyone with a supported Web3 wallet on Ethereum and Mantle Network.
Included with Public Access:
- High rewards: Significant increase in emissions and staking rewards.
- NFT Boost Starts: Rewards on emissions increase up to 50% via Minterest NFT.
- Solvency engine launches: Borrowing allowances increase to match industry LTV ratios of 70%-90%. Learn more about why the Minterest solvency engine matters here.
- Governance token: Non-transferable during this phase.
1.2 Phase 1: Public Launch: Q2 2024
Public Launch builds on Public Access and unlocks vested governance tokens, allowing them to be transferable.
Included with Public Launch:
- Governance token: Transferable.
- Listing: Key integrations and listings.
1.3 Phase 2: Multi-Chain Expansion: Q2-Q4 2024
Minterest’s movement towards true cross-chain lending includes new chain deployments of Minterest across additional L1s and L2s in a controlled manner.
Included with Multi-Chain Expansion:
- Updated Minterest App UI to manage multi-chain access
- Common token markets such as certain stable coins (i.e. USDC) and/or volatiles (i.e. ETH) alongside unique token markets specific to the chain
- Minterest NFT deployments
1.4 Phase 3: Cross-Chain Lending: Q1 2025
- Minterest’s cross-chain architecture goes live, allowing users to lend on one chain and borrow on another. Minterest’s solvency engine expands to support cross-chain liquidations.
Once the dates are finalised, further information will be provided.
