Roadmap
We are focused on building and validating real peer-to-peer trading before token launch. Through 2025, the protocol will finalize atomic swap settlement, expand its Telegram-native OTC community, and grow usage through weekly trading events, point farming, and offline garage sales. As the community scales, ATOMICS will introduce structured incentives, expand supported assets, and complete security audits and documentation. In early 2026, the protocol will finalize token economics, lock core parameters, and transition from point-based incentives to on-chain governance and the ATX token, culminating in a February 2026 token generation event.
