Roadmap
The launch is just the start
Axiom is designed to evolve in phases. The protocol launches with a simple and robust foundation, then gradually unlocks decentralization and advanced features as participation and liquidity grow. This roadmap outlines the major milestones the community can expect.
The roadmap is intentionally flexible. Axiom iterates based on real user behavior, trading activity, and governance participation.
Phase 1: Launch (Prediction Markets and Staking)
Status: Initial Release
This phase focuses entirely on delivering a clean and high quality prediction market experience.
Key features:
Prediction markets
Simple, intuitive interface
XRP-only settlement
Bootstrap council handling market creation and resolution
FeeRouter sending vault commissions to XRPVault
Public staking into XRPVault
Real yield from market commissions
Primary goals:
Validate demand
Establish trading volume
Build user trust
Ensure stable operations
Begin vault yield distribution
Phase 2: End of Bootstrap Mode (Decentralization)
Timeline: Activated when the system is healthy or at 12 month expiry
Bootstrap mode ends either when:
Three independent bootstrap signers vote to disable it
The twelve-month automatic expiry triggers
At this moment:
Market creation becomes permissionless for top 50 percent stakers
Outcome resolution becomes fully decentralized
Bootstrap council’s privileges are permanently revoked
All markets and governance actions become community driven
This is the transition into true decentralization.
Phase 3: Stablecoin Settlement Support
Status: Enabled when liquidity is available
Once stablecoins like RLUSD, USDC, or USDT gain consistent liquidity on the XRPL EVM Sidechain:
Markets may settle in stablecoins
Governance may approve new vaults
Axiom Prime begins supporting multi-asset staking
Commissions are split between vaults based on 7-day average TVL
FeeRouter automatically handles conversions when needed
Stablecoin settlement expands the protocol’s global appeal and drives onchain utility for RLUSD.
Phase 4: Advanced Market Types
Axiom is built to support new trading mechanisms in later upgrades.
Upgrades include:
CFMM markets that allow early position exits
Hybrid order book markets similar to Polymarket
These upgrades will depend on:
User demand
Capital required for market making
Governance approval
The upgradeable MarketFactory makes these transitions possible without disrupting existing markets.
