Roadmap

Chad Finance is committed to continuous innovation and improvement, with a clear roadmap to enhance its functionality, scalability, and interoperability within the DeFi ecosystem.

Near-Term Goals

1. Integration with Uniswap V4:

   • Instead of forking Uniswap V4, Chad Finance will develop a custom hook to charge 10% of all swap fees on Uniswap V4 pools.

   • The hook will be implemented as a smart contract conforming to Uniswap V4’s hook interface, ensuring seamless integration with the V4 core contracts.

   • LP positions in pools with this hook enabled will be eligible for collateralization, creating a similar mechanism to the current Chad Swap system but leveraging Uniswap V4’s advanced features, such as dynamic fees and improved capital efficiency.

2. Stability Pool:

   • Implement a stability pool, inspired by Liquity, to handle redemptions of CUSD.

   • Unlike Liquity, depositors in the stability pool will be able to specify the price at which their CUSD redemptions are filled, providing more flexibility and control.

   • The stability pool will be implemented as a smart contract that aggregates CUSD deposits and matches them with redemption requests, with pricing determined by depositor-specified thresholds.

Long-Term Vision

• Expansion to Additional L2s:

  • Deploy Chad Finance on additional emerging L2 networks, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync, to drive liquidity and ecosystem growth.

  • Optimize smart contracts for L2-specific features, such as low gas costs and fast finality, to enhance user experience and protocol efficiency.

• Advanced DeFi Integrations:

  • Develop integrations with other DeFi protocols, such as lending platforms (e.g., Aave), yield aggregators (e.g., Yearn), and derivatives markets (e.g., Synthetix), to enhance the utility of CUSD and sCUSD.

  • Leverage ERC-4626 compliance to enable sCUSD to be used as a yield-bearing asset in external vaults and strategies.

• Governance Enhancements:

  • Expand the governance capabilities of veCHAD holders, introducing more granular control over protocol parameters, such as dynamic fee adjustments, risk management policies, and stability mechanisms.

  • Implement advanced governance features, such as quadratic voting or delegation, to enhance participation and decentralization.

• Risk Management Framework:

  • Develop a comprehensive risk management framework, including stress testing, liquidation protection, and emergency shutdown mechanisms, to ensure protocol resilience under extreme market conditions.

  • Integrate with external risk assessment tools, such as Gauntlet or OpenZeppelin Defender, to provide real-time monitoring and mitigation of risks.
