Roadmap
Alkemi Network 2022 Roadmap
The Alkemi Network core team is excited to announce its 2022 roadmap* plans for the protocol, which includes the following 3 themes:
Increase capital efficiency: Work toward v2 release with a focus on improving borrower and lender experience. We will be exploring new protocol features such as better borrower-lender matching through Request for Quotes ‘RFQ’, reducing the cost of capital through undercollateralized loans, increasing token utility through staking programs, and addressing institutional user needs through more specialized UI/UX and advanced reporting. We are keenly aware that these features require in-depth research and feedback cycles with the ecosystem prior to mainnet release.
Maximize compliant liquidity: Collaborate with major institutional hubs such as custodians, exchanges, and wallet providers to initiate DeFi standards for institutional participation, involving decentralized identity, KYC/AML interoperability, and shared compliance policy frameworks. These standards will reinforce trust, credibility, and efficiency for more institutions to participate in DeFi in a compliant way, and will accelerate the flow of big capital into our ‘Verified’ Pool.
Progressive decentralization: Double down on community development and increase the sophistication of tooling for protocol governance engagement. As the network grows, our plan is to guide the community to take ownership of protocol developments and decisions, with an ultimate goal to hand the keys to the protocol governance mechanism.
