DevvE End of Year Update and Roadmap Progress

Commenting on the importance and impact of this quarter, some of the current challenges we’re facing and how we’re overcoming them, and of course the road ahead for 2026, Tom Anderson, Founder at DevvE, has this to share:

“Since publishing our original roadmap, development across the Devv Ecosystem platform has largely stayed on schedule. For a technically complex system, a six-month window represents meaningful progress, and in broad terms our development estimates and delivery targets have remained sound. Core platform work has continued to advance steadily during this period.

As the platform has matured, several strategic opportunities have emerged that required careful consideration and adjustment. In particular, ongoing discussions with multiple investment banking and institutional groups, which could present significant long-term upside for DevvE, require thoughtful sequencing of milestones. Aligning major releases with these opportunities allows us to maximize impact rather than rushing functionality to market prematurely.

Broader market conditions have also influenced timelines. The recent downturn in crypto markets has slowed decision-making across the industry, particularly among TradFi institutions exploring DeFi integrations. This has extended some partnership and rollout timelines, but we continue to see strong long-term interest in DevvE’s infrastructure. Market conditions also inform launch strategy, as we balance near-term delivery with sentiment and adoption readiness.

In parallel, we have navigated a small number of business-level challenges, including changes to expected funding timelines. DevvStream was unable to meet its contractual obligations relating to the purchase of DevvE tokens, and the absence of those funds impacted the pace at which certain initiatives could be accelerated.

We are actively working with them to evaluate a constructive path forward, while continuing to progress development and explore new strategic opportunities such as the Fias AI platform and other partnerships. Overall momentum remains strong, and we plan to publish an updated roadmap as external conditions stabilize, alongside upcoming demonstrations that highlight recent technical progress.”

3. Specific Roadmap Items and Goals

Of course, with so much having been delivered through Q4, it’s easy to forget we also have our specific roadmap goals and items that have formed the foundation of our focus this quarter, and indeed for much of 2025.

Let’s examine each workstream and their progress below.

3.1. CASP and VASP Licensing

Work toward CASP and VASP licensing continues and remains a key focus area. Licensing is foundational for regulated operations, institutional engagement, and broader exchange functionality.

While progress is being made, regulatory processes naturally involve external timelines. Once approvals are in place, there may also be a short delay before public announcements can be made. We will provide a clearer update on licensing status as part of the early 2026 roadmap.

3.2. Institutional Exchange Partner Announcement

Institutional partnerships remain closely tied to licensing and regulatory readiness. We continue to work toward announcing a major institutional exchange partner once the appropriate approvals and structures are in place, contingent on licensing.

Aligning this announcement with the right regulatory and market context, as well as alignment with other strategic relationships such as the work we are exploring with investment bankers, is important to ensure it delivers long-term value rather than short-term visibility. We expect that following licensing approval (30–90 days) as outlined above, we can announce our partner.

3.3. Bailment and Custody Partnerships

A bailment partner is a regulated third party that holds or safeguards assets on behalf of users or institutions under defined legal and operational terms. Discussions around regulated bailment and custody partners are progressing, with several strong contenders having submitted proposals. These partnerships are essential for institutional-grade asset protection, compliance, and operational trust.

We are currently refining commercial and operational frameworks before finalising partner selections, a process which has also been enhanced by introductions made through our working partnership with Covey. Updates on custody partnerships will be included in the next roadmap phase.

3.4. Wallets, Identity, and User Onboarding

The first wallet capabilities have been rolled out, and improvement and development across wallets, identity systems, and compliant onboarding continues. These systems are critical for enabling scaling of our chain and applications, while maintaining flexibility for different ecosystem participants.

3.5. Reward Multipliers, Token Drops, and Liquidity Caches

Incentive mechanisms such as reward multipliers, token distribution systems, and liquidity programs remain part of the broader ecosystem plan.

These features are closely tied to the marketing platform, lending functionality, and institutional participation. Rather than releasing them in isolation, they are being aligned with the next phase of platform activation and will be detailed further in the 2026 roadmap.

3.6. Marketing Platform

The first phase of the community rewards and engagement platform has been delivered through LitCraft. This establishes the foundation for structured community participation and incentives.

In Phase 2 a more focused platform relating to DevvDigital and expanded reward mechanics are in development and will continue rolling out into early 2026.

3.7. Lending and Borrowing on DevvX

Lending and Borrowing is one of the most anticipated components of the Devv ecosystem and represents the first major live use of DevvE within credit markets.

We are pleased to share that an internal demonstration, with selected institutional and ecosystem development partners, is scheduled for December 19th 2025, showcasing end-to-end functionality. We expect some data and video overviews of the platform will be available to share with the community during this time, as we complete testing.

Following this, a broader public demo is planned for January 2026, subject to final testing. While full production activation will follow later, these demos will provide a clear view into how the system works in practice.

3.8. DeFi Platform V1

Platform V1 covers digital asset management, transfers, lending, borrowing, and exchange capabilities. While individual subsystems are approaching readiness, the complete V1 platform will not be launched before 2026.

However, P2P Transactions utilising contingent transaction sets (CTS) are expected to be completed by mid Q1 2026.

3.9. INN Service Enhancements

Significant improvements have been made to the INN middleware layer, improving performance, reliability, and shard-to-API communication.

These upgrades strengthen the system under real-world production conditions and support future scaling.

3.10. DevvE Integration with DevvX S2

Integration work enabling DevvE to function across DevvX S2 is underway.

Completion depends on bridge functionality, which will unlock broader transaction flows and increased DevvE utility across the ecosystem.

3.11. Support Systems and Documentation

Comprehensive documentation and support systems are now in place, including onboarding guides, integration references, troubleshooting resources, and live support processes.

These tools support both ecosystem partners and community users as new functionality comes online.

3.12. Asset Management and Token Infrastructure

Token and asset infrastructure is largely complete, including support for wrapped assets and stablecoins.

Additional functionality will activate as bridge components are finalised. We are also exploring direct exchange pathways for DevvE to improve accessibility and usability within the ecosystem.

3.13. Infrastructure, Scaling, and Security

Production infrastructure has been strengthened across monitoring, redundancy, throughput, and reliability to support global usage and institutional standards.

A comprehensive security framework is in place, with internal and external audits ongoing to support compliance, resilience, and long-term trust.

4. Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into the New Year, the focus shifts from foundation-building to bringing more of the DevvE platform into view.

Over the past quarter, and throughout 2025, the team has delivered substantial progress across network infrastructure, developer tooling, security, lending mechanics, and ecosystem readiness. The DevvE Network is live, builders are active on testnet, core financial primitives are taking shape, and the systems required to support real-world deployment are coming together.

The next phase is about turning this technical depth into tangible product experiences. This includes upcoming demonstrations, expanded testing environments, and deeper integration with ecosystem and institutional partners, all aligned with regulatory progress and long-term strategy. As we move into the New Year, we will share an updated roadmap that reflects both the progress made to date and the opportunities ahead.

We’ll continue to provide regular updates and previews as new capabilities come online. Thank you for being part of the DevvE journey. The work happening now is setting the stage for what comes next, and we’re excited to build it together.
