Tepo 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.
