Roadmap

Vane's roadmap is organised in three phases rather than dates. It describes intent, not commitments: scope and order can change, and any change will be communicated on @VaneGiwa (opens in a new tab).

Phase 1: Pre-launch#

This is the current phase.

Showcase site, simulator and documentation. Available now. The simulator runs on illustrative inputs only.
Contracts in development. The contracts are being written and are not deployed.
Yield venue selection and announcement. The yield source is to be chosen and announced, together with how much is kept liquid and how interest is measured.
Audit status published. Audit status is to be published before deposits open.
Token details prepared. Supply, allocation, staking and the boost formula for $VANE are to be prepared for announcement.

Phase 2: Mainnet day#

Deposits are planned to open at GIWA mainnet launch. GIWA Chain is an Ethereum layer 2 built with the OP Stack; its mainnet is not live yet (see the GIWA documentation (opens in a new tab)).

Contracts deployed on GIWA mainnet.
Addresses published. Contract addresses are to be published in these docs and on @VaneGiwa.
Deposits open. The first blades can be opened, and wheels start to fill.

What is intended to be public before deposits open#

Item	Where it is described
Yield venue, liquid portion and interest measurement	Yield source
Audit status	Security and risks
Permission model, including any admin or upgrade keys	Security and risks
Supported stablecoins and minimum blade size	Blades, wheels and maturity
Month length in seconds and protocol fee level	Blades, wheels and maturity

Phase 3: After launch#

Governance activation. $VANE holders voting on term length, protocol fee level and supported stablecoins.
$VANE utility. Boost, buy-and-burn and governance, as announced on @VaneGiwa.
Additional stablecoins. New deposit assets added through governance.
Interface improvements. Continued work on the website and the tools for managing a wheel.
