[4] Kyo Finance Roadmap: Our Vision & the Problems We’re Solving

• [1] Why Soneium? The Foundation of Kyo Finance
• [2] Building a Better DEX: Batch Transactions, Configurable Pools, and LVR Protection
• [3] Rethinking Governance: Real-Time Voting, Simplified Tokenomics, and Smart Systems
• [4] Kyo Finance Roadmap: Our Vision & the Problems We’re Solving

Our roadmap consists of three main parts. The releases, named after three major Japanese cities, start from the ancient capital Kyoto and progress toward Tokyo, a futuristic city that serves as the base for Soneium. Interestingly, the first city’s beginning and the last city’s ending share “KYO”!

Here are the current trends and problems we see in the DeFi :

• Every project’s tokenomics is evolving from useless governance-only tokens to ve-tokenomics that can directly control protocol emission, making things more complex
• Liquidity fragmentation is intensifying with the emergence of various L2s
• Increasing price volatility is leading to greater losses for passive LPs

Kyo will address these problems one by one through our roadmap.

The Philosophy Behind the Roadmap

Vertical integration, not just a parallel expansion

Our roadmap is not simply about adding one good feature or adding new products in different categories.

Feature adds are simply expected along the way and weren’t even included in the roadmap. Most of the newly developed features will be live from the first KYOTO release.

Our roadmap focuses on strengthening cooperation through integrating with partners for non-core elements, while reinforcing our core aspects. Our partners will handle horizontal growth while we focus on vertical growth.

Our core focuses are:

• Traders to trade with faster execution, lower price impact using all available liquidity
• LPs to generate sustainable, long-term profits safely
• Ecosystem projects can easily use us as a liquidity and incentive layer
• Kyo Finance serves as the convergence point for all platform value

First Release — KYOTO

Kyoto is Japan’s representative ancient capital, where history began.

KYOTO release establishes our fundamental structure :

• Maximizing the advantages of veDEX structures while simplifying the process
• Resolving LP losses through arbitrageur aligning
• Starting with proven Uniswap pools, redesigning the system to safely add various pools and connect them to the voting system
• One transaction for everything — Expanded application of batch operations
• Strengthening relationships with ecosystems.

It has been redesigned with a perfectly secure, fast, easily integrable, and scalable structure. Please look forward to the next article for more details.

KYOTO release focuses on providing the best LP experience and trading experience as an AMM until all features, including Vote, are activated after the TGE. It also focuses on enabling partners to easily incorporate DeFi into their products using our tech.

Second Release — NAGOYA

Nagoya is also called [中京], meaning “central capital”. As such, it includes one of our most important milestones, the token generation event.

• Token Generation Event
• Auto-compounder
• Concentrating platform value toward $KYO

Along with $KYO’s launch, complete flywheel will begin with $veKYO. The focus will be on concentrating the protocol value that we have accumulated and will accumulate into the KYO token.

While Smart Vote functionality already exists, means to more easily accumulate $veKYO will be provided, such as vote auto-compounder, and derivative products that promote lockup and increase platform value will emerge through various collaborations with ecosystem partners.

And of course, improvements and additional development of features updated in KYOTO release will continue, as the roadmap is interconnected.

Third Release — TOKYO

Tokyo is the city that embodies both the present and the future.

KYO will start from Soneium, which will become the leader of the Superchain, and expand to other superchain chains. This means more than just increasing the number of chains we exist on — we will establish ourselves on important chains and connect liquidity cross-chain. We will concentrate the value from various chains into Kyo Finance, enabling trading with larger liquidity pools and lower price impact.

• Multi-chain expansion
• Cross-chain liquidity aggregation
• Kyo.ag

KYO.ag will be at the center of the Tokyo roadmap, which will connect all superchain liquidity. Our ultimate goal is to make Superchain, and furthermore EVM, seamlessly usable as a single chain, and we aim to provide an experience that goes beyond just being a DEX.

The detailed roadmap for TOKYO will be revealed in more detail as we get closer to that time. The Tokyo release serves as an ongoing direction that includes not only the features mentioned above, but also continuous updates improving DEX utility, such as AI agent-powered ALM.

The Journey Has Begun, Come Check into KYOTO

As we conclude this article series, the next article will dive into the detailed update notes for the KYOTO release, a milestone made possible by the top-priority incubation from the foundation. This marks the beginning of a long-term vision, and we’re thrilled to have you here with us at the start of something extraordinary.

We invite you to continue following our progress, sharing your feedback, and being an integral part of Kyo Finance’s growth. Together, we can shape a future where DeFi becomes truly accessible, innovative, and rewarding for everyone.

Thank you for being with us, and we can’t wait to see you in KYOTO and beyond!
