Phased Roadmap and Future Vision

Gonana's development follows a phased roadmap designed to validate core assumptions, build network effects, and scale sustainably. Phase 0, the MVP, focuses on core marketplace functionality: listings, peer-to-peer offers, escrow v1 on a Layer 2 network, USDC and USDT settlement, integration with one on-ramp partner and two to three logistics partners, and support for English plus two additional locales. This phase targets $5–10 million in GMV, 10,000 monthly active users, and $3–5 million in liquidity provider TVL.

Phase 1 introduces the DeFi suite and scales logistics. The DEX v1 launches with staking and liquidity provider rewards, shipment milestone oracles are integrated, and inspection partner networks are expanded. Phase 2 focuses on advanced compliance and governance, including KYB at scale, tax modules, provenance NFTs, council-based governance, and a grants program for ecosystem partners. Phase 3 targets multi-region expansion and enterprise adoption, with APIs for ERP integration, trade finance pilots, commodity index listings, and cross-chain expansion to additional blockchain networks.

The long-term vision is for Gonana to become the default global infrastructure for commodity trade, displacing extractive intermediaries with transparent, efficient, and inclusive peer-to-peer markets. By combining blockchain's trust and transparency with professional logistics, robust compliance, and accessible user experience, Gonana empowers producers to capture the full value of their work, enables buyers to source quality products at fair prices, and creates a sustainable, incentive-aligned ecosystem that benefits all participants.
