Unveiling Linear Finance’s Vision for 2024/25: A Game-Changing Roadmap

Linear Finance continues to evolve as one of the most innovative DeFi ecosystems, with exciting developments set for the coming year. As we close out 2024 and move into 2025, Linear is set to further expand its decentralized trading, with a focus on perpetual markets, cross-chain solutions, and community empowerment. Let’s break down what’s in store with the official roadmap.

Q4 2024: Scaling New Heights in Perpetual Trading

Kicking off the roadmap is the launch of the Linear Perp Dex, a decentralized perpetual trading platform. This Perp Dex comes equipped with high leverage, deep liquidity, and lightning-fast trading speeds, catering to professional and retail traders alike. The platform promises full decentralization and cross-chain compatibility, unlocking vast liquidity and expanding trading options across multiple blockchains.

Key features:

• High leverage options for all types of traders.
• Cross-chain integration for broad liquidity access.
• High-speed transactions with one-click trading.

Additionally, Linear Finance will showcase its offerings at SmartCon, Chainlink’s premier blockchain event, where new partnerships and integrations will be the team’s laser focus.

Expanding the Marketplace into Multi-Chain: Linear’s Marketplace will go multi-chain in Q4 2024, supporting more EVM compatible blockchains such as Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base and Avalanche, with more to follow. This multi-chain marketplace allows users to tap into locked token liquidity on various blockchain ecosystems, ensuring access to the best assets and deals across multiple networks.

Unified Docs for Seamless Navigation: To enhance the user experience, Linear will roll out a Unified Docs system, integrating user guides for the Perp Dex, Marketplace, Builder and Liquidator into one coherent ecosystem. Traders and community members alike will be able to navigate these seamlessly, backed by a rich, intuitive interface.

Q1 2025: Empowering Users with More Control

The first quarter of 2025 will mark a significant step forward for Linear with major updates in its perpetual DEX, Marketplace, and cross-chain functionality.

Perp Dex Development: Linear plans to introduce a Portfolio Manager and an Affiliate Program, providing enhanced portfolio tracking tools and incentivized participation. These tools will empower traders to better manage their assets, all while driving user adoption through an affiliate system.

Marketplace Expansion: Linear’s Marketplace will introduce pre-TGE tokens (pre-Token Generation Event) and Reward Point Trading, diversifying trading options and providing early access to promising projects. This gives users a chance to engage in exclusive token sales, adding a layer of gamification to the trading experience. Additionally we will provide users with the functionality to create their own Vesting Contracts, locked with NFTs, that can be created and immediately listed for sale on the Marketplace.

Cross-Chain Swaps: An anticipated cross-chain swaps feature will further enhance the user experience, allowing for seamless spot trades all from within the Linear ecosystem. With a host of innovative features including non-custodial Limit Orders, this opens up new possibilities for traders looking to explore opportunities across blockchains, whether spot or perpetual, without compromising on speed or cost.

Q2 2025: Builder 2.0 and Bot Trading Take Centre Stage

Linear is committed to continually refining and expanding its decentralized ecosystem. In Q2 2025, the focus will shift to the Perp Dex Governance Program, giving the community a say in the direction of platform development and features. Alongside this, Bot Trading will be introduced, catering to algorithmic traders who wish to automate their strategies on the decentralized exchange.

Builder 2.0: Linear’s core dApp will undergo a transformation with Builder 2.0, including the introduction of stLINA (staking Linear tokens). The team then intends to introduce Staking and Re-staking opportunities to maximize yields. Yield optimization strategies will become a focal point, allowing users to maximize their rewards.

A Community-Centric Future

This roadmap represents a significant milestone in Linear’s journey to becoming a comprehensive, decentralized, one-stop trading ecosystem. With innovations in perpetual trading, cross-chain integration, and governance, Linear Finance is poised to offer unparalleled tools and features to both traders and community members alike.

As we move closer to 2025, Linear remains committed to transparency, community involvement, and the continuous evolution of DeFi. Stay tuned for more updates and join us on this exciting journey to reshape decentralized finance.
