2024Q2 Roadmap — StaFi 2.0 released, all the way to LSaaS
Welcome to a pivotal moment in the journey of StaFi, as we step into the second quarter of 2024 with ambitious goals and groundbreaking developments under our belt. The Testnet launch of StaFi 2.0 marks a significant milestone in our roadmap, setting the stage for a transformative period in the DeFi sector.
Reflecting on the Journey: 2024Q1 Roadmap Achievements
Before we delve into the vibrant future planned for Q2, it’s important to acknowledge the foundation laid in the first quarter. The dedication and hard work behind the scenes during Q1 were pivotal in sculpting the cornerstone of our Liquid Staking as a Service (LSaaS) framework. The period was marked by relentless efforts from our team, who were committed to innovating and refining the mechanisms that underpin LSaaS. This wasn’t just a phase of development; it was a testament to StaFi’s dedication to revolutionizing decentralized finance through enhanced staking flexibility and control. Our journey through Q1 was characterized by a series of iterative enhancements, rigorous testing, and strategic partnerships, all aimed at ensuring the LSaaS framework would set new standards in the DeFi sector upon its release.
Again, what is StaFi 2.0 and What is LSaaS?
StaFi 2.0 introduces the advent of LSaaS — Liquid Staking as a Service, a groundbreaking framework designed to dramatically enhance the flexibility and efficiency of staking mechanisms. This innovative framework empowers developers with the ability to quickly develop Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD) and Liquid ReStaking Tokens (LRT) across various Layer 1 and Layer 2 platforms and staking models. Essentially, LSaaS represents more than just an upgrade; it’s a complete redefinition of possibilities within the LSD domain, offering developers a robust tool to boost capital efficiency. At the heart of StaFi 2.0, LSaaS steers the platform through a transformative shift from a multi-chain Liquid Staking Derivative protocol to a comprehensive Liquid Staking as a Service platform.
Collaborative Ventures: Sei, Metis, Manta, and Beyond
The LSaaS framework has opened doors to numerous collaborations with leading blockchain projects, including Sei, Metis and Manta, among others. These partnerships are aimed at integrating the LSaaS framework to broaden the spectrum of staking opportunities and to foster a more interconnected and robust LSD and their DeFi ecosystem. Through these collaborations, StaFi is making the LSaaS more accessible, secure, and efficient for more developers involved.
Looking forward to Q2
We are looking forward to more integration to LSaaS, while keeping eyes on the new possibilities.
LSaaS Integration
At present, our efforts are concentrated on integrating SEI LSD within LSaaS, transitioning BNB to LSaaS, and planning for Metis LSD’s inclusion in LSaaS. Additionally, we’re exploring opportunities to incorporate more protocols into LSaaS, including Berachain, Babylon, and other promising candidates. Moving into Q2, our aim is to broaden these integrations further.
StaFi LRT
The introduction of the StaFi LRT(Liquid Restaking Token) in LSaaS — A development framework for building Liquid Restaking Token protocol in Eigenlayer. it is another cornerstone in the LSaaS framework except LSD stack. By integrating the LRT Stack into LSaaS, StaFi is revolutionizing the way that maximize the staking rewards via Eigenlayer. This integration enables developers to build applications that users can restake their rewards seamlessly, leveraging the power of compound interest to maximize their investment returns. At its core, the LRT component is a testament to our dedication to providing devs with the tools they need to succeed in the dynamic staking landscape.
StaFi AI
We would like to arm StaFi with AI. StaFi AI introduces a visionary capability, infusing StaFi LSaaS with intelligent processing. This innovative integration leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the StaFi smart delegation algorithm, aiming to maximize staking yields, mitigate losses, and bolster decentralization. Such progress positions our platform at the leading edge of the staking sector by refining staking approaches and boosting the overall efficiency of the platform.
FIS Rebrand and Burn
In relation to the FIS rebrand and the implementation of a burn mechanism, our approach is to prioritize product development first, followed by the rebranding process. Our focus is on advancing LSaaS (including LSD, LRT, and even Bitcoin LSD stacks), StaFi AI, and product integration. The proposal for the FIS rebrand and burn mechanism will be presented to the DAO in accordance with our schedule. We will initiate comprehensive discussions within the DAO forum to ensure clarity and transparency before its implementation. The rebranding is designed to symbolize the evolution from StaFi 1.0 to StaFi 2.0, and the inflation/burn mechanism is intended to be reflective of the FIS Tokenomics in StaFi 2.0. This effort is aimed at aligning the FIS token more closely with the needs of our growing ecosystem, adopting a sustainable approach to managing the token’s supply, and promoting long-term growth and stability.
Forward Together
As we progress through Q2 and beyond, our mission remains steadfast: to push the boundaries of Staking and deliver the most innovative and effective solutions to our community. With a road filled with opportunities ahead, we eagerly anticipate reaching new milestones together with our community.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and shape the future of staking finance. Together, we are unstoppable.
About StaFi 2.0
StaFi 2.0 will be a major upgrade and rebrand. In terms of positioning, StaFi will transform from a multi-chain LSD protocol to an LSD Infra Layer, and the brand will also be upgraded accordingly. In terms of tokenomics, FIS will introduce a burn mechanism and add new utilities. In terms of security, on top of the existing chain security, it will support contract layer security, including support and frameworks for multiple VMs such as EVM and WASM.
