Roadmap

zkAster’s development roadmap is structured around progressive integration of zero-knowledge technology — starting from user-friendly swaps to fully private programmable transactions.

Phase 1 — Foundation (Delivered)

• Launch of zkAster DApp (fixed-rate swaps & order tracking)

• Vault system (IPFS-based private storage)

• Non-custodial backend & privacy-by-design baseline

Phase 2 — Privacy Expansion

• Relayer integration for anonymous fee payments

• Stealth address generation

• Vault API improvements and encrypted sharing

Phase 3 — ZK Settlement Layer

• Integration of Privacy Pools (commitments, nullifiers, Merkle proofs)

• zkEscrow smart contracts and zk-verifier module

• Selective disclosure proofs for compliant privacy

Phase 4 — Ecosystem & Token Integration

• Token staking & relayer incentives

• zkGas abstraction and governance portal

• API SDK for developers & third-party wallet integrations

Phase 5 — Full Privacy Economy

• zkAster DAO formation

• Cross-chain privacy routing (Base ↔ BSC ↔ Arbitrum)

• zkAggregator: unified privacy liquidity layer

🚀 Our vision: to make private, untraceable, and programmable finance accessible to everyone — with one-tap simplicity.
