# Roadmap

### Taker Roadmap 2025

**Taker is not a typical DeFi protocol or L2. It is a Bitcoin Incentive Layer built to onboard, convert, and activate the next 500 million crypto users—especially Bitcoin holders—through a task-based growth flywheel.**\
Our roadmap reflects this unique value proposition and positions Taker as the most scalable Bitcoin user growth engine in the market.

***

### ✅ Q1 2025 — Foundation & Funnel Launch

**Lite Mining Node**

* Launch of a zero-capital, task-based participation system. Designed to attract Web2/Web3 users with no technical barriers and initiate mass Bitcoin exposure via airdrop-driven incentives.

**Taker Swap Development**

* Begin development of the Taker Swap module—an essential liquidity layer connecting all BTCFi assets and preparing for future task-to-liquidity conversions.

***

### 🔄 Q2 2025 — Core Product Buildout & Onchain Growth

**Launch of Sowing**

* Roll out of Sowing, Taker’s top-funnel growth engine, which has already onboarded 5M+ users. Designed to convert general crypto users into Bitcoin ecosystem participants at scale.

**Taker Lend Development**

* Begin building Taker Lend, a protocol enabling Bitcoin LSD/LRT holders to unlock capital by borrowing stablecoins—positioned as the primary exit for funnelled traffic from Sowing.

**Community & Asset Growth Campaign**

* Expand user acquisition through KOL marketing and campaign mechanics targeting BTC, wBTC, BTCB, cbBTC, and SolvBTC holders.

**Public Sale of Taker Laser Cat NFT**

* Public launch of Taker Laser Cat NFT, binding identity, token rights, and future ecosystem privileges into a single onchain asset.

***

### 🚀 Q3 2025 — Token Launch & Liquidity Activation

**Token Listing & Airdrop**

* Official $TAKER Token listing. Airdrop distribution to early users and contributors from Lite Mining, Sowing, and NFT holders.

**Launch Taker Lend**

* Mainnet deployment of Lend. Users can collateralize Bitcoin LSD/LRT assets (e.g., PumpBTC, FBTC, stBTC) to borrow stablecoins.

**Launch Taker Swap + Incentives**

* Activate Taker Swap with dynamic liquidity mining rewards. Enables frictionless trading among Bitcoin derivatives and powers DeFi access for Bitcoin-native users.

***

### 🔮 Q4 2025 — Ecosystem Expansion & TradFi Bridge

**Ecosystem Flywheel Partnerships**

* Strategic product launches and partnerships (e.g., One Piece Labs) to embed Taker’s incentive logic into more DApps and platforms.

**DeFi Protocol Integration**

* Onboard selected protocols into Taker Chain to create diversified yield strategies for BTCFi asset holders and deepen retention.

**BTC ETF & RWA User Program**

* Launch reward campaigns and structured products for ETF and RWA users. Build the bridge between TradFi exposure and onchain incentives to attract mainstream capital.

***

### 🧠 Strategic Vision

Taker is **not a DeFi protocol or L2 chain**. It is the **first large-scale Bitcoin Incentive Layer**, built to convert mass attention into Bitcoin onchain engagement.

* **Target Market**: 500M+ crypto users globally
* **Product Funnel**: Sowing → Lend / Swap → Retention via NFT / Boost / Ecosystem Tasks
* **Estimated Market Size**: $50B+ in TVL and participation potential across BTCFi, LSDs, task platforms

> Taker is the first project to unify Bitcoin ecologically traffic, token incentives, and DeFi usability into a single scalable flywheel—designed to 100x the Bitcoin user base.
