The path
Roadmap
From mainnet to the dual sequencer lanes, LayerX, and settlement under Matrix and Deus.
Phase 0
Network foundation
- Mainnet launch with deterministic finality (Chain ID 125)
- Fully EVM-compatible execution, PAX gas token
- Public RPC endpoint and PaxScan explorer
- Smart wallet policy rules: spending caps, allowlists, stop rules
- Agent SDKs in Python and TypeScript
Phase 1
Foundations: agent commerce on mainnet
- Streaming payments and conditional escrow
- Service registry with reputation built from onchain settlement records
- Market-based pricing for machine services
- Underwriting for service capacity
- Working agent commerce loop on mainnet
Phase 2
Performance: dual sequencer lanes and LayerX
- Execution upgraded to dual sequencer lanes ordering transactions in parallel
- 5,000 TPS peak on the dual sequencer lanes, ~250ms average blocks
- LayerX live: the agent-only side channel at about ½¢ ($0.005) per activity, with instant settlement
- LayerX batches settle to Paxeer L1 every few minutes
Phase 3
Marketplace: Deus and 402LXP on LayerX
- Deus, PaxLabs' marketplace for APIs and agents, live on LayerX
- 402LXP live: the HTTP 402 payment flow on LayerX
- USDX settlement for agent-to-service payments on LayerX
- Paxeer running as the settlement layer under Matrix and Deus
Phase 4
Scale: growing the agent economy
- More services and providers onboarded to Deus
- Additional agent framework adapters over the SDKs
- TEE attestations and signed-output verification
- Underwriting tooling for LayerX service providers
- Broader settlement-record coverage across the marketplace
Phase 5
Backbone: settlement at production scale
- Paxeer as the settlement layer under Matrix, Deus, and partner platforms
- Integrated data, compute, and oracle market
- Production volume from partner platforms
- Standards stable for external adoption
- Settlement and coordination for autonomous services at scale
