Stay informed and dive into our Q3 2023 recap from the Komodo team. We are on a mission to connect and bridge all blockchain protocols. Follow our progress and join us as we develop cutting-edge DEX technology.
Updated Komodo Roadmap (September 2023 through early 2024)
On September 12, we published an updated roadmap page which includes our development plans for Q4 2023 and early 2024. We are now shifting focus to performance-specific enhancements and bug fixes.
Thus, some future features (not mission critical) have been pushed back to ensure we continue to provide a fast and bug-free crypto experience for our users.
Our team has already begun working on these enhancements, and preliminary tests already show a significant performance boost for API interactions and GUI interactions. For example, after refactoring code, tests show that mm2 invocation processing times can be reduced by 30-40% and balance fetch time can be decreased by 1000% — from 3000ms (3 seconds for 10 coins) to 300ms (0.03 seconds for 10 coins).
While we've streamlined some feature releases to ensure an optimal user experience, the product's core functionality is robust and complete. Our roadmap remains dynamic and user-focused. All critical features, including the MVP features, are either in place or on the way.
