Solver Evolution Roadmap: 0.1 to 2.0
Abstract
This roadmap outlines the evolution of the solver system from the current 0.1 arbitrage-focused implementation to a comprehensive intent-based solving platform. The roadmap spans from Q4 2024 through Q2 2025, transitioning from single-purpose arbitrage to multi-protocol intent solving across chains.
Current Status (September 2024)
Production Release: v0.1.0 - Cyclical Arbitrage Foundation Active Development: Architecture stabilization and bug fixes Next Planned: Release 0.2 features (Q4-2024/Q1-2025)
Overview
Building on the foundation of the 0.1 Release, this roadmap charts the path toward a mature intent-based solving ecosystem. The evolution focuses on expanding from cyclical arbitrage to comprehensive intent solving across major protocols including UniswapX, CowSwap, and 1inch.
