Solver System Design Document - Phase 2.0

Abstract

Phase 2.0 represents the culmination of the solver evolution, transforming the system into a fully decentralized protocol with autonomous governance, tokenized incentives, and community-driven development. This release establishes the solver ecosystem as an independent protocol with decentralized governance, sustainable tokenomics, and comprehensive ecosystem expansion capabilities.

Overview

Building on the institutional-grade platform established in Phase 1.0, Phase 2.0 introduces the singular but transformative feature implementation:

Protocol Launch: Fully decentralized protocol with community governance, tokenized incentives, and autonomous operations

The transition from centralized operations to community governance while maintaining institutional-grade performance standards demonstrates the maturity and robustness of the underlying architecture.

The decentralized vault system using The Compact protocol provides a sophisticated foundation for community-driven liquidity management, while the governance framework enables effective community coordination and decision-making. The ecosystem expansion capabilities position the protocol for long-term growth and innovation through community participation.

The design maintains the high-performance characteristics and institutional-grade features established in previous phases while adding the decentralization and community governance required for protocol sustainability and ecosystem growth. This combination creates a robust foundation for the future evolution of decentralized intent-solving infrastructure.
