Initializing the Gradient

The first phase of Gradient's roadmap.

Paving the Way to Adoption.

Adoption moves faster when everyone gets it. Gradient's rollout starts by raising awareness and understanding about both the platform and the problem it solves. This develops a community of early adopters, which accelerates platform growth in early stages. Here's how we do it:

1. Spreading Awareness

Gradient’s first phase starts with an information rollout introducing: The cost and consequences of price-impact > Gradient's solutions and potential market share > Platform benefits and features > Participation incentives.

2. Collaborating with Token Projects

Although any token can be traded through the Gradient permissionlessly, collaborating with leading projects allows for accelerated adoption and boosted incentives. Gradient’s upcoming partner campaign is designed to incentivize token teams to drive early use to the platform:

Building the Gradient.

Change takes time, but it can never come too quickly. With a high focus on driving immediate adoption, here is how the Gradient will rollout ahead of its full release.

1. Open-Sourcing & Auditing of the Trading Layer

Building trust and showing transparency is key, especially when introducing a new way to trade. All on-chain components of Gradient will be open-source and independently audited.

2. Interactive Demonstrations

The Gradient will be showcased through a series of interactive demonstrations designed to build a better understanding of how the platform works. These will be targeted towards Gradient’s community of early adopters.

3. Proof of Concept (Soft-Launch)

$GRAY will be made available for trade and market making on the Gradient. This will serve as a proof of concept, showcasing the benefits of the platform in real time. In doing so, precedent is set ahead of the full platform debut.
