Roadmap

Public status of each phase of the non-custodial transition. This page is updated as phases move; phase pages have the detailed per-phase status.

Legend

  • Planned — designed, not started in production code.
  • In progress — code / deploys underway on at least one chain.
  • Shipped — default-on for new links or subscriptions.
  • Retired — legacy path deleted; no longer applicable.

Phase summaries

Phase 0 — Design and audit strategy

Freeze the fee/split spec, pick the launch chain (Base), choose the audit vendor, stand up deployer multisigs, and settle on the subscription model. Output: three ADRs and a signed deployer ceremony. No production change.

PaymentLinkFactory, PaymentLinkReceiver (EIP-1167 clone), FeeSplitter. Deterministic CREATE2 addresses replace HD-derived deposit wallets for one-off EVM payments. Launch chain: Base.

Phase 2 — EVM subscriptions (allowance-pull)

SubscriptionHub with public charge(id). Payers sign approve(spender, cap) once; the hub enforces cap, timing, and monotonic lastChargedAt. Keeper replaces the custodial auto-charge processor.

Phase 3 — Multi-EVM rollout and keeper redundancy

Deploy the stack to Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon. Register Chainlink Automation (and/or Gelato) as a second keeper. Publish SLOs.

Phase 4 — Solana (Anchor programs)

payment_link and subscription Anchor programs. PDA per link; SPL delegate for subscriptions. Deprecate SOL HD derivation and the SOL sweep service for flagged links.

Phase 5 — Bitcoin (reduced custody)

Every new BTC payment link becomes a 2-of-2 taproot multisig (merchant + platform). Pre-signed refund PSBTs. Platform key moves to HSM/MPC. BTC subscriptions remain out of scope until Lightning BOLT12 recurrence matures.

Phase 6 — Decentralized keepers (EigenLayer)

Optional. Only if a concrete trigger justifies the build cost. Today's recommendation: defer.

Phase 7 — Retire custody infrastructure

Delete hd_wallet_seed, WALLET_ENCRYPTION_KEY, and the EVM/SOL sweep code paths. Update TOS, privacy policy, and SOC2 scope. Postmortem published within 30 days of shipping.

How status updates work

  • Per-phase status page (under /docs/non-custodial/phases/) is the authoritative status and gets updated weekly when work is active.
  • This roadmap page is updated when a phase moves between states.
  • Blog post published when a phase ships or meaningfully changes.
