Roadmap
From gateway to network: protocol, marketplace, and decentralized settlement.
Monex Protocol ships in phases: prove the protocol, open the marketplace, decentralize settlement. Dates are targets, not promises.
Phase 0: Prove the protocol (shipped)
- MPP gateway: 402 challenges, EIP-3009 verification, on-chain settlement
- No-code merchants: proxy any API or sell a file, priced in stablecoins
- USDC on Base and USDG on Robinhood Chain
- Gas-sponsored Permit2 approvals and relayed settlement on Robinhood Chain
- First MPP payment settled in USDG on Robinhood Chain mainnet
- Machine-readable discovery via per-merchant openapi.json
Phase 1: Open the marketplace (in progress)
- Public marketplace with crawlable index for agent discovery
- Merchant analytics: requests, revenue, and settlement history
- Signed payment receipts verifiable by third parties
- MCP server so agents can discover and pay merchants natively
- Usage-based pricing: metered offers and volume tiers
Phase 2: Grow the network (planned)
- Additional settlement networks and stablecoins
- Merchant reputation: uptime, dispute rate, and receipt history on-chain
- Streaming and subscription intents alongside per-request charges
- Self-hosted gateway: run Monex Protocol in front of your own infra
Phase 3: Decentralize settlement (planned)
- Permissionless relayer set staked in $MONEX
- $MONEX launch: fee discounts, relayer staking, governance
- Protocol governance over fees, networks, and treasury
- MPP standardization: reference implementations and an open test suite
