“Rome was not built in a day” is a common saying meant to convey that great achievements take time to build.

In fact, by some accounts, Rome took 1,229 years to build from the first foundation until the collapse of the Roman Empire. Fortunately, we don’t plan on taking that long and we aren’t going anywhere.

Closer to this century, in the Blockchain space, some of the companies we admire are Polygon, a Layer-2 scaling solution, founded in 2017. It took Polygon almost three years before making any waves. Or, the Layer-2 distributed ledger technology protocol, Radix, which was founded in 2013. They launched their Mainnet in July 0f 2021.

Good things take time to build.

One of the core principles of Xend Finance is transparency. Since our launch in March of 2021, we have always had our roadmap on our home page and updated constantly with our progress. In fact, here is a review of our 2021 year. We are proud to give you a glimpse of our 2022 roadmap.
