10.1 Development Timeline

The ARX roadmap outlines the path from a foundational messaging protocol to a comprehensive, decentralized digital economy. Following the successful Token Generation Event (TGE) in late 2025, the focus for 2026 shifts toward service activation, ecosystem expansion, and the final transition to a production-grade Mainnet.

2024 – 2025: Foundation & Integration

• 2024 | MVP Inception: Development of the early encrypted messenger prototype and selection of the high-performance PoS chain for the settlement layer.

• Jan 2025 | Messaging Layer Migration: Transition to XMTP for decentralized message transport, while retaining Signal’s X3DH and Double Ratchet protocols for end-to-end encryption.

• May 2025 | Wallet Alpha: Launch of the internal multi-chain wallet, supporting swaps and integrated on/off-ramps directly within the chat interface.

• Sep 2025 | Public App Launch: Release of the ARX application, realizing the "Speak, Pay, Connect" unified experience.

• Dec 2025 | TGE & Crypto Card: The formal launch of the ARX token and the introduction of the regional fiat-bridge metal cards.
