# Stronghodl Roadmap

The StrongHodl roadmap outlines our commitment to building a robust, flexible, and community-driven platform. Each development phase introduces new features and capabilities, enhancing user experience, expanding DeFi integrations, and fostering decentralized governance.

**Phase 1: Launch of the shBTC Protocol**

* Integrating with Babylon Protocol for secure staking.
* Establishing initial partnerships with DeFi platforms on Ethereum and Solana.
* Implementing initial user activity-based roles.
* AI agent integration.

**Phase 2: Interoperability and Fortalezas (Q2 2025)**

Phase 2 will introduce cross-chain bridge functionality and a role-based user management system to improve protocol accessibility and user engagement.

* Implementing a cross-chain bridge for secure shBTC transfers between Ethereum and Solana.
* Completing the user roles system, assigning privileges and rewards based on activity.
* Creating Fortalezas as governance entities to maximize benefits and community participation.
* Increasing DeFi integrations.

**Phase 3: Expansion of DeFi Integrations (Q4 2025)**

In Phase 3, StrongHodl will broaden its reach by integrating APIs with additional DeFi platforms, offering more yield and liquidity options.

* Partnering with new DeFi platforms on Ethereum and Solana to expand shBTC utility.
* Introducing advanced APIs for seamless integration with DeFi partners.
* Launching yield vaults to maximize staking and liquidity provision benefits.
* Increasing DeFi integrations.

**Phase 4: DAO and Expansion (Q1 2026)**

Phase 4 will establish community governance through the formation of StrongHodl DAO and expand protocol capabilities based on user feedback and decentralized decision-making.

* Launching the StrongHodl DAO.
* Expanding shBTC to new blockchains based on ecosystem demand.
* Evaluating the activation of the “Fee Switch” feature to share revenue with users.
* Increasing DeFi integrations.
