As we continue our mission to unlock Bitcoin's potential through programmability and interoperability, our roadmap for 2025 highlights transformative advancements across all quarters. Here’s the updated, detailed overview of what’s ahead.
Native Roadmap
Q1 2025: Building the Foundation
The year begins with the groundwork for key capabilities that will drive Native forward.
Testnet-1 (LIVE ✅):
Launch of the Native Chain MVP, focusing on onboarding the first 30 main validators.
Introduction of the Smart Accounts Module.
Governance Module for decentralized decision making.
Zero Trust Architecture development.
Integration of the dWallet Module to enable secure, non-custodial access to Bitcoin.
Testnet-2:
The next phase will expand the tech stack and onboard initial partners:
IBC Integration: Cross-chain communication to facilitate Bitcoin liquidity flow.
Rust Smart Contracts (Wasm): Empowering developers with a powerful programming framework.
nBTC Primitive: A secure representation of Bitcoin for programmability within the Bitcoin Ecosystem.
Q2 2025: Expanding Capabilities
With the foundation laid, the focus shifts to the mainnet launch and unlocking user-facing features.
Mainnet Launch:
The Native Chain goes live with production-ready modules, featuring:
Dual-Staking Module: A model that allows the staking of both $NTIV and $BTC.
EVM Smart Contracts Support:evmOS integration, allowing Solidity developers to build on Native.
Native DeFai:
Launch of BYield, an AI-powered Bitcoin yield aggregator, simplifying access to DeFi opportunities across many ecosystems.
Q3 2025: Enhancing User Experience
Once mainnet is live, Native will focus on accessibility and ecosystem growth.
Major Ecosystem Expansion: Onboarding DeFi primitives, dApps, and other major integrations.
Unified Dashboard: A single interface for managing Bitcoin transactions, smart contracts, and multi-chain activity.
Multi-Wallet Support: Easily connect multiple wallets for seamless access across ecosystems.
Fast Finality: Integration with Nuffle for improved transaction speed and reliability.
Interchain Orchestration: Agoric to enhance cross-chain functionality.
Q4 2025: Simplifying Onboarding
As the ecosystem matures, we’ll prioritize UI/UX-focused solutions to make onboarding seamless.
Account Abstraction: Simplified user access with social logins and advanced account features.
Integration of altVMs: Adding compatibility with alternative virtual machines like MoveVM to expand developer flexibility.
Why This Matters
Native is transforming Bitcoin’s role in DeFi by introducing programmability, interoperability, and accessibility. Our 2025 roadmap ensures that developers, validators, and users can unlock Bitcoin’s full potential, creating a more connected and productive ecosystem.
