CedarFi Roadmap

Designing the liquidity engine for megaETH, one phase at a time.

CedarFi’s roadmap is structured into clear, strategic phases — each unlocking critical infrastructure, advanced capital tools, and deeper alignment between users, protocols, and the ecosystem. Here's the full journey:


Phase 1: Foundation – Establishing Core Mechanics

We kick off by launching a customized fork of Velodrome V1 — proven, battle-tested infrastructure to support core AMM mechanics and governance-based emissions.

What’s Included:

  • Volatile Pools (vAMM): Optimized for assets with high price movement

  • Stable Pools (sAMM): Tight curve models for stablecoins and pegged assets

  • Vote-Escrow Tokenomics (veCEDA): Lock $CEDA for governance and reward power

  • Emissions Gauges: veCEDA holders direct weekly emissions to LP pools

  • Governance System: Token holders shape protocol incentives and strategy

Goal: Launch CedarFi with a complete, functional ve(3,3) engine — where emissions are controlled by participants, not centralized teams.


Phase 2: Concentrated Liquidity – Capital Efficiency Unlocked

Next, we evolve CedarFi into a concentrated liquidity DEX, giving LPs the power to provide liquidity within specific price ranges — maximizing capital efficiency and yield.

What’s Included:

  • Custom clAMM Engine: Tailored to integrate with our ve(3,3) emissions

  • Partial Slipstream Contracts: Borrowing Velodrome’s latest code optimizations

  • Range Management UI: Helping LPs set, monitor, and manage positions

  • Higher Capital Efficiency: More volume, deeper liquidity, fewer tokens required

  • Cross-incentive Pools: Integrations with partner protocols, boosting emissions

Goal: Merge concentrated liquidity with ve(3,3) to offer the best of both worlds — efficient trading and emission-based governance.


Phase 3: Advanced Tokenomics – The Flywheel Comes Alive

In this phase, CedarFi’s full tokenomic vision comes online — introducing a tri-token structure, deeper staking mechanics, and platform-level incentives.

What’s Included:

  • xCEDA Emissions Layer: A utility token used to boost gauges, rebalance emissions, and drive governance

  • Loyalty Rebate Program: Reward long-term veCEDA lockers with rebates, multipliers, and exclusive benefits

  • Gamified Voting & Participation: Bribes, staking boosts, and NFT-based multipliers

  • Expanded ve Utility: Fee share, partner airdrops, DAO governance, and cross-chain votes

  • veNFT Trading & Boosting: Enhance capital mobility with tradable locked positions

Goal: Create a rich, self-sustaining flywheel — emissions lead to liquidity, which leads to volume, which creates fees and boosts governance, bringing it full circle.


What Comes After

Once all phases are live, CedarFi becomes a foundational piece of megaETH’s DeFi stack. But we’re not stopping there.

Future Milestones:

  • DAO Transition: Full governance handoff to veCEDA holders

  • Multi-Chain Expansion: Explore EVM-aligned L2 deployments

  • Cedar Forest Developer Layer: SDKs and tooling for protocols to integrate directly with our ve(3,3) infrastructure

  • Treasury Growth & Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL): Use platform revenue to grow sustainable, strategic liquidity positions

  • Innovations on top of clAMM: Lending markets, options, and meta-governance primitives built atop liquidity layers


TL;DR

CedarFi isn't just another DEX. It's a purpose-built economic engine for the megaETH ecosystem — designed to reward loyalty, empower protocols, and grow sustainably. One phase at a time.
