roadTepo Roadmap

Building the TEPO Ecosystem Step by Step

TEPO is built with a long-term vision in mind. Instead of rushing features to market, our roadmap focuses on progressive releases, real testing, and community feedback at every stage.

Each phase builds on the previous one, ensuring the ecosystem grows in a stable, secure, and sustainable way.


Phase 1 — TEPO Pass Mint

Ecosystem Entry & Early Community Formation

Phase 1 marks the official beginning of the TEPO ecosystem with the launch of TEPO Pass.

During this phase:

  • TEPO Pass is minted to early supporters

  • Pass holders gain whitelist access to future TEPO NFT mints

  • Early community members are onboarded and aligned

  • Access is created for testnet participation and early tools

This phase is focused on building a strong foundation of early believers who will help test, shape, and support the ecosystem moving forward.


Phase 2 — TEPO NFT Testnet Mint

Testing NFT Mechanics & Progression

In Phase 2, we introduce the TEPO NFTs on testnet.

This phase allows us to:

  • Test the NFT minting process in a live environment

  • Validate NFT tiers, traits, and metadata

  • Test NFT progression and upgrade logic

  • Collect feedback from TEPO Pass holders and testers

No real value is at risk during this phase — the goal is to learn, refine, and improve before mainnet launch.


Phase 3 — Testnet Beta of the TEPO Ecosystem

Full System Testing & Integration

Phase 3 is a major milestone where the entire TEPO ecosystem goes live on testnet in beta form.

This includes:

  • TEPO Stable Swap DEX (stablecoin liquidity & swaps)

  • TEPO NFT Forge (NFT upgrades, progression, and access)

  • TEPO Smart Vaults (automated stablecoin yield)

  • NFT-Backed Loans (NFT collateralized borrowing)

During this phase:

  • Users can interact with all core utilities

  • Smart contracts are stress-tested

  • UX and performance are refined

  • Security reviews and audits are conducted

  • Community feedback directly influences final adjustments

This phase ensures everything works together, not just individually.


Phase 4 — TEPO NFT Mainnet Mint

Official NFT Launch & Ecosystem Access

Phase 4 marks the mainnet launch of TEPO NFTs.

At this stage:

  • TEPO NFTs are minted on mainnet

  • NFT utility becomes fully active

  • Holders gain access to yield boosts, vault benefits, and ecosystem features

  • NFTs officially become financial identities within TEPO

This phase transitions TEPO from testing into real on-chain usage.


Phase 5 — $TEPO Mainnet Launch

Ecosystem Token & Governance Activation

Phase 5 introduces $TEPO, the official ecosystem token, on mainnet.

With $TEPO live:

  • Ecosystem incentives are activated

  • Governance begins for key protocol decisions

  • Staking, rewards, and utility mechanisms go live

  • $TEPO integrates across DEX, NFT Forge, and Smart Vaults

This phase completes the economic backbone of the TEPO ecosystem.


Phase 6 — Ongoing Development & Expansion

Growth, Optimization & Partnerships

TEPO does not stop at launch.

Phase 6 focuses on:

  • Continuous protocol improvements

  • New vault strategies and features

  • Expanded NFT utility and progression

  • Partner integrations within the Tempo ecosystem

  • Governance-driven upgrades and proposals

Development remains community-guided, with $TEPO holders helping shape the future direction of TEPO.


A Living Roadmap

This roadmap is not static. As the ecosystem evolves, phases may expand or adapt based on:

  • Community feedback

  • Security considerations

  • Tempo L1 developments

  • Long-term sustainability goals

Our priority is building useful, reliable infrastructure, not rushing releases.
