Get ready for an exciting ride! We've approached the roadmap taking a quarterly approach to milestones. Over the next couple of quarters, we’re focused on rolling out our core products, starting with the developer toolkit in early April as part of ZoidPay Core, and followed by the ZoidPay Super App. Q3 will be focused on launching an MVP of Zoidverse and launching WAND officially. We’re also putting in massive scaling efforts, keeping interoperability in mind, which means ZoidPay and ZPAY go cross-chain over the coming quarters.

But that’s not all! We understand the importance of spreading the word about what we’re building and taking awareness levels about ZoidPay to the next level. That’s why we’ve launched Zmonths, a massive step in that direction. And we’re not stopping there. We’re coupling this with global influencer campaigns, press releases, and more in the coming weeks and months.

Of course, listings for ZPAY are crucial, and we’ve got some incredibly exciting CEX and DEX listings in the works for the year.

Here are the highlights for each of the milestones

APIs & SDKs

Welcome to ZoidPay Core! Our tech team is currently in the final stages of putting together a suite of Application Programming Interface (APIs) and Software Development Kit (SDKs), making it easier for developers to integrate Web 3.0 into their applications. As an example, how about a business being able to accept cryptocurrency as payment into your existing business model in a matter of minutes? No need to reinvent the wheel.

During the second quarter, we will make public a major B2B client (for a perspective, this platform has an existing client base of 350M users). Think of the scope here, where ZoidPay is an exclusive provider of Web 3 architecture for their existing setup! This is what gives us the confidence in being the biggest Web 3.0 architecture provider in the world.

Super App

Q2 will see a major milestone for us with the launch of the ZoidPay Super App — a fintech powerhouse. An all-in-one solution for your Banking and Crypto needs, besides providing access to Financial Services, the ZoidPay Super App is developed to be user-friendly and provide a seamless experience. Want to know more of what that involves? Check this out.

Our targets on this milestone? 1 million downloads by the end of the year and we have already begun investing in marketing and expansion efforts towards that direction. Think sponsorships, partnerships and more! Again, our partner here (aiding with the KYC, cards issuance, and more) has a significant global presence in the field. Will be announced soon!

Cross Chain Scaling

We venture on a cross-chain journey from Q2 this year when we scale the ZPAY token to Ethereum. Think of the opportunities this opens up and the number of L2 projects that can be prospective clients for ZoidPay Core, the Super App and the rest of our offerings.

Besides that, how about trading ZPAY on Uniswap? Or the Zoidster NFTs on OpenSea.

We plan to follow this up with a move to Binance Smart Chain in Q3. Besides that, we are currently in discussions for additional chain integrations to improve interoperability. Which chain would you want to see ZPAY on? Tell us in the comments.

By supporting multiple blockchains, we can increase the reach and appeal of our ecosystem to a wider audience of cryptocurrency users.

ZoidVerse

ZoidVerse is a key component of ZoidPay’s long-term vision. Currently, we are in talks with projects from within the MultiVersX ecosystem and beyond to identify the best strategy for offering a custom builder. Let’s just say — the feedback has been incredible, and there's a lot of progress at the backend. We will launch an MVP for ZoidVerse in Q3 and follow that up with commercializing the same.

Gamification

We recently launched the ZoidPay Farms, offering passive income for participants in the ZPAY and WAND tokens.

Over the next few weeks and the coming quarter, there will be a lot more revealed around WAND and how it will evolve as ZoidPay’s Canary Network. The WAND token sale is scheduled for Q3, and as part of the governance of the token, an SPO Council will be established. Remember, you can already start accumulating WAND ahead of the token sale here.

While utility for our genesis Zoidsters NFT collection will continue to grow with each product launch and more, we also plan to launch a second NFT collection in the latter part of the year. Besides, expect a lot of fun activities on the NFTs in the coming weeks.

Partnerships

Partnerships are at the core of what we doing and building at ZoidPay. While partnering with L1 and L2 projects is central to our growth strategy in the coming months, we will also work with fintech projects and banks for ZoidPay Core, which will enable businesses to easily integrate Web 3.0 into their platforms. Besides, also expect to see a lot of interesting partnerships in the months ahead for ZoidVerse, with innovative use cases in the metaverse. You've met Denis recently — get ready to meet a lot more members of our Business Development team as we scale up.

Branding

Towards the end of the month we will be revealing a new look ZoidPay website 😎. The aim is to better showcase what we are building, our products, services and the vision.

A promise here — the website will be designed to be user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Marketing

Launched last week, Zmonths is part of a program to increase awareness campaigns for ZoidPay. A Learn2Earn program, Zmonths will include exciting missions letting you earn rewards along the way. There’s lots planned here. Join here NOW!

Alongside, we are soon launching a plan to spread awareness of ZoidPay and what we are building through well-known influencers in the field. The aim of this exercise is not and will never be to shill the project, but spread knowledge of what we are doing, how and why. Remember — DYOR ALWAYS!

With a focus on global scaling, the second half of the year will involve sponsorships or major sporting events (F1 included) to increase visibility and drive adoption. Besides, all product launches and major happenings will be accompanied by global press campaigns.

Listings

Finally, we plan to list the ZPAY token on Tier 1, 2, and 3 centralized exchanges (CEX) to increase liquidity and accessibility for users. This will be a core part of our cross-chain strategy. Not just CEXs, but our strategy also involves DEXs as we move to newer chains. We are currently preparing for a major listing — details of which we will share in the coming weeks.

This is set to be our biggest year as we scale both the B2B & B2C sides, launch our Super App and cross over a bunch of milestones

Join us on this exciting journey and be a part of the future of Web 3.0 with ZoidPay🚀🚀🚀!

There's been some talks about why the bank acquisition hasn't been mentioned within the roadmap. Like we've said before — we don't have control on that given the amount of external dependancies. As Eduard said recently, “Through the lens of the bank that we are buying, we want to provide the necessary tutelage and umbrella of licenses for anyone to be able to develop a fintech based on the services we offer, APIs, SDKs, licenses, issuance of cash cards and to launch a product.” Plans are moving forward here and we expect this to roll-out within the year.
