Roadmap
Harbor: A Safer Harbor for Leverage, Uncharted Waters for Yield.
Harbor is a modular synthetic asset protocol with long-term ambitions to become the default infrastructure for tokenizing and trading any market data. The roadmap below outlines the key phases of protocol development, expansion, and innovation.
Note on Adaptability: The crypto industry moves rapidly, with new technologies, market conditions, and opportunities emerging constantly. While this roadmap represents our current vision and strategic direction, we are committed to adapting and evolving our plans as the landscape changes.
1. Mainnet Launch of Core Infrastructure (Short Term)
Harbor will launch on Ethereum mainnet as a friendly fork of fx protocol, leveraging their high-yield fxSAVE collateral.
- Deployment of core contracts (minter, stability pools, rebalance logic)
- Maiden Voyage for haBTC and haETH using fxSAVE and wstETH as collateral
- Deployment of initial AMM liquidity pools
- Points system for early participants (12-week pre-launch period)
- Security audit publication and protocol UI live
This lays the foundation for rapid synthetic asset creation and incentive-driven usage, with an initial focus on high-yield BTC/ETH exposure and complimentary leveraged tokens.
Token Launch
- 12-week points accumulation phase before token launch to build genuine community
- Points system conversion to TIDE tokens
- Distribute TIDE tokens according to allocation
- Seed initial liquidity pools with Protocol-Owned Liquidity
- Begin team-directed incentive programs
2. Rapid Market Expansion (Short Term)
Immediately after launch, Harbor will focus on deploying multiple new markets quickly, based on:
- Oracle availability
- Collateral compatibility
- Community and protocol demand
Target Asset Types
- Crypto synths: haSOL, haBTC-HASH, haUSDCBORROWRATE etc.
- Real-world assets: haTSLA, haXAU (gold), haSPX
- Stablecoins and FX: haEUR, haGBP, etc
- Custom markets: External protocol defined markets.
Autocompounding Vaults
Harbor will deploy autocompounding vaults for haTOKENS that automatically compound stability pool rewards, making it easy for users to maximize their yields without active management.
3. Cross-Chain Deployment & Omnichain Expansion (Mid Term)
To support broader adoption and DeFi integration, Harbor will expand across chains:
Native Deployments
- Smart contracts deployed on Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Plasma, and other EVM-compatible chains with local minting
Omnichain Synth Transfer
- Synthetic assets bridged via LayerZero for seamless movement between chains
- Cross-chain stability pools
4. Permissionless Market Factory (Mid to Long Term)
Harbor will evolve into a market creation platform — a place where anyone can launch synthetic markets with:
- A collateral token
- A trusted price feed (Chainlink, Redstone, or custom TWAP)
- A Stability Pool configuration
This transforms Harbor from a protocol into infrastructure — empowering protocols and DAOs to create their own data-driven assets. Like a Uniswap for yield bearing and leveraged synthetic markets.
Governance-Led Innovation (Ongoing)
While the roadmap above focuses on core protocol development, future upgrades may be proposed and governed by TIDE holders.
The long-term vision remains consistent even as implementation details may evolve:
A universal synthetic asset platform where anyone can create or access any market
We recognize that the path to achieving this vision may change as the crypto landscape evolves. Our community governance structure ensures that Harbor can pivot when necessary while maintaining focus on its core mission.
