Roadmap

Looking Ahead to 2025 and Beyond

As Symmio enters 2025, the roadmap’s complexity becomes a real challenge, as multiple frontends—like IntentX, Pear, Vibe, Horizon, Lode, and IVX on Berachain—are either already integrated or slated to integrate. With each new frontend and every new solver, a new development stream opens up, with a new team with its own development timeline and feature set, all collectively building on top of Symmio and adding new value streams. As new solvers & frontends emerge, each bringing a new array of specialized markets (like memecoin derivatives) or distribution channels, creating a linear roadmap becomes difficult.

Simply put, Symmio’s roadmap isn’t a simple linear timeline—it’s a multidimensional ecosystem evolving on multiple fronts. Rather than one monolithic plan, we have numerous partners working in parallel: solvers, frontends, and the core Symmio team itself. Each of these contributors is building and extending Symmio’s capabilities, products, and user experiences in ways that can’t be captured by a single, forward-only progression.

To address this complexity, we’ve introduced the R.I.D.E. framework as a way to categorize and communicate our roadmap items. Each letter corresponds to a distinct stream of work, helping everyone understand where a specific initiative fits in this growing ecosystem:

• R - Research Work led by the core Symmio team to develop new solvers, improve protocol features, and explore cutting-edge functionalities. This includes prototyping next-generation versions of Symmio or testing novel solver technologies, and continued experimentation with advanced solver architectures and next-gen Symmio features. Expect new, more efficient clearing methods and possibly entirely new categories of financial instruments.

• I - Improving Efforts focused on enhancing existing solvers, expanding their product offerings, and refining the user experience for known markets. For example, if an existing solver is integrating Bybit pairs into Symmio, this would fall under Category I. Existing solvers will expand product offerings, as well as adding more markets, or improving risk management tools that reduce Maintenance Margin requirements. For instance, Zenith will introduce additional Bybit markets, while another solver is working on providing DEX pairings.

• D - Distribution: Initiatives aimed at broadening access and usability through current frontends. Enhancing UI/UX, scaling to more users, and improving market reach all fall under D, ensuring that what we’ve built is effectively delivered to the trading community. Current frontends will enhance user interfaces, add educational resources, and improve on-boarding flows. The goal is to empower both new and experienced traders to access Symmio’s features more easily, increasing overall ecosystem liquidity and usage.

• E - Expansion: Projects centered on integrating new frontends into Symmio. As new partners and platforms join, they bring their own users, instruments, and market niches. The E category highlights these expansions that push Symmio’s boundaries into new realms, As more frontends come online, Symmio’s reach extends into untapped user bases and regional markets. Each new frontend integration introduces fresh functionality, user segments, and trading opportunities.

By classifying activities under R, I, D, or E, we can offer a clearer picture of how Symmio is evolving from multiple angles simultaneously. For the Long-term roadmap please refer to Symmio's Endgame
