Roadmap & Milestones

DashPay’s development is structured across three core phases, each designed to deliver modular, testable components that move closer to decentralized, real-world value transfer. The roadmap prioritizes offline-first capability, hardware integration, and machine-native payment infrastructure, while enabling seamless onboarding for developers, merchants, and autonomous agents.


Phase 1 — Foundation & Proof of Concept

Status: Complete / Ongoing

Focus: Core architecture, cryptographic tooling, offline flows

  • Design and implement the x402 request/response settlement engine

  • Launch mobile-first ZK-NFC Tap Wallet prototype (Android)

  • Develop ephemeral ZK payment proof structure and device signing logic

  • Test offline-to-online sync queue using local proof storage

  • Deploy first DashPay smart contracts on Base and testnet environments

  • Release DashPay Whitepaper v1 and early technical documentation


Phase 2 — Beta Network & Field Pilots

Status: In Progress

Focus: Developer tools, hardware integration, real-world testing

  • Release DashPay Beta Wallet for limited user groups

  • Integrate AI Risk Engine for on-device fraud detection and rate-limiting

  • Launch pilot programs with small merchants, vending systems, and embedded POS terminals

  • Publish open-source hardware SDKs and NFC terminal reference designs

  • Expand SDKs for developers and agent-based integrations (bots, APIs, IoT)

  • Run full security audits on ZK flows and offline proof handling


Phase 3 — Mainnet & Decentralized Scaling

Planned: Q1–Q2 2026

Focus: Public release, governance, and interoperability

  • Launch DashPay Mainnet and public x402 settlement relay

  • Enable multi-chain support (Base, Solana, BSC, Polygon, etc.)

  • Introduce DashNode light clients to assist with offline proof sync

  • Open staking model and community-led governance for x402 parameters

  • Partner with manufacturers to embed DashPay into POS and IoT systems

  • Begin onboarding global merchants and open DashPay to cross-border agents


Post-Mainnet Vision

Beyond 2026

  • Expand support for cross-chain reconciliation and dynamic fee routing

  • Launch DashPay Dev Grants for infrastructure, analytics, and ecosystem dApps

  • Release compliance-optional modules for enterprise and region-specific use

  • Grow the network into underserved areas: rural economies, disaster zones, and machine-to-machine finance


DashPay is not just a wallet — it’s an infrastructure layer designed to bring autonomous, privacy-first payments to places and systems traditional finance and DeFi cannot reach. Every phase in this roadmap brings us closer to a world where transactions happen anywhere, between anything — instantly, securely, and without exposure.
