# Roadmap Axiom is designed to evolve in phases. The protocol now centers on CLOB trading with Conditional Tokens, while decentralization, asset support, and market breadth continue to expand over time. The roadmap is intentionally flexible. Axiom iterates based on real user behavior, trading activity, and governance participation. *** ### **Phase 1: Launch (CLOB Markets and Bootstrap Incentives)** **Status: Initial Release** This phase focuses on delivering a high-quality prediction market experience around the live CLOB stack. Key features: * CLOB prediction markets * XRP-first settlement * Conditional Tokens outcome positions * Bootstrap council handling market creation and resolution * Axiom Points funded from trading activity during bootstrap * Public staking path for Axiom Prime as the protocol matures Primary goals: * Validate demand * Establish trading volume and maker participation * Build user trust * Ensure stable operations * Prove the CLOB and Conditional Tokens settlement path in production *** ### **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 privileges are permanently revoked * 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 * Yield can be routed across more than one governance-bearing vault Stablecoin settlement expands the protocol’s global appeal and deepens XRPL-native utility. *** ### **Phase 4: Market Depth, Tooling, and Automation** Future upgrades focus on improving the CLOB ecosystem rather than replacing it. Examples include: * deeper market-maker tooling * better analytics and execution surfaces * automated market templates * richer agent workflows through Axiom CLI * cross-market liquidity intelligence and arbitrage infrastructure The goal is not to abandon the current model. The goal is to make the live CLOB system broader, deeper, and easier to use. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
