As we progress through 2021, the Kadena team is all-in to execute major initiatives and amplify brand awareness in the crypto markets. Working closely with our energized and engaged community, we were able to meet every milestone announced in our Q1 Roadmap:

• Successful launch of Kadenaswap “Bountyswap” on Mainnet
• Major technical milestones for the Ethereum Bridge including support for proofs in Chainweb 2.4, release of Wrapped KDA contracts to Ethereum Testnet, and a beta Docker image for bridge operations
• Announced a major update to our Token Economic Model with reduced inflation, and improved total circulation reporting in the Block Explorer
• Full integration of the Kadena Signing API with Kadenaswap and ZelCore, and fully integrated ZelCore into the DEX
• Launched the Bridge Relay program with bonding in KDA
• Launched the Community Ambassador Program

With these completed milestones and the suggestions from our community, we bring you our Q2 roadmap.

Q2 Roadmap Key Milestones

As we’ve previously hinted in our last AMA, some of our major milestones for Q2 will be:

• Major Exchange Listing in early Q2
• Full re-skin/re-brand of Kadenaswap, and a Kadena.io website refresh
• Launch of Kadenaswap with Tokensoft kETH and kBTC, KDA, and at least one major new Kadena native token
• Production Chain Relay launch for Ethereum Bridge, and testnet bridges to Terra and/or Celo
• Wrapped KDA on Ethereum with market maker participation for listing in Uniswap and other DEXes
• Launch a new DAO focused on new initiatives on the Kadena platform and leveraging the Kadena treasury
• At least one NFT project launches on Kadena platform, and at least one major wallet integration completed
• Pact 4.0 with great new features to speed smart contract development and testing

Q1 2021 showed the world that Kadena, scalable POW, and smart contracts are here to stay, offering the only solution that can realize the full potential of digital value in crypto. With Kadenaswap bringing the first multi-protocol DEX to production, platform interoperation with Pact, more exchanges and wallets, and paradigm-shifting NFT projects, Q2 will continue Kadena’s march to the future!
