ZAMM (or, zAMM) launched two months ago with a simple lite paper. We have since helped kickstart a meaningful move back to Ethereum mainnet for DeFi, reframing narratives and showing a practical path forward for L1 scaling through dedicated “singleton” smart contracts for common use cases (see the extended whitepaper to better understand the core protocol offering). If we succeed, Ethereum will be the undisputed home of DeFi and digital property rights. And ZAMM will be synonymous with Ethereum exchange.
With the successful deployment of our revamped website and visual identity, we now offer a full integrated launchpad AMM service that allows anyone to create a new token (or “coin”) on Ethereum, sell these OTC, fund pools and begin trading. No fees or gatekeeping have been added in order to invite our early users to begin trying out ZAMM and exploring our differentiated services.
We also feel reasonably confident in the security of our offering at this stage, consistently handling mid 6 figs in TVL and swapping mid 8 figs in ETH among thousands of unique users. Now is the time to capitalize on our fundamentals and grow.
So what’s next on the horizon? What’s the plan?
As lead developer and author of ZAMM, here is my proposal for consideration of what the milestones should be over the coming months to finish off the year and secure our continued success. Certain points here are offered to steer protocol and app development, but economic discussions should be understood as formative at this stage. Here we go:
| Month | ① Mid-month (1-15) | ② End-month (16-EoM) | KPI (cumulative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| July | • Freeze v1.0 contracts on-chain and tag release 1.0.1  • Publish full spec + gas-benchmarks • Launch 6-week Immunefi bug bounty • Spin up live Dune dashboard for TVL/volume |
• Ship Creator Console MVP (CSV airdrops, lockups, presets) • Register initial pool hooks (dynamic fees) • “First 100 coins” community blitz |
5 M volume • $0.5 M TVL • 100 “good” coins |
| August | • Permissionless pool hook registration • Release TypeScript SDK v0.1 (wagmi hooks) • Kick-off “Zero-Fee August” campaign |
• Deploy Moloch Governor + snapshot temp-check on treasury • Add Merkle airdrop builder for launches |
10 M volume • $1 M TVL • 100 coins • 3 k MAUs |
| September | • External security audit complete  • Activate fee switch to treasury |
• Launch Liquidity Mining v0 (to LPs) • Release ZAMM routing adapter and aggregation service |
20 M volume • $2.5 M TVL • 250 coins • 5 k MAUs |
| Month | ① Mid-month (1-15) | ② End-month (16-EoM) | KPI (cumulative) |
|---|---|---|---|
| October | • Launch single-sided CL lockers with auto-rebalance hooks • Publish 2026 draft roadmap + open RFC • Proposal #1: seat guardian multisig |
• Release v1.2 (ERC-7702 recipes & peripheral contracts) • Incentives for launchpad creators |
30 M volume • $4 M TVL • 400 coins • 7 k MAUs |
| November | • ZAMM L2 integrations • Public Graph subgraph + open analytics API • RFQ limit-order relayer live |
• Treasury mgmt module: Direct pool yield into ETH PoS • First community conference + retro-drops to early LPs |
45 M volume • $6 M TVL • 600 coins • 10 k MAUs |
| December | • Finalize ZAMM tokenomics + DAO constitution v1.0 • Audit begins for v2 • Christmas marketing campaign |
• Year-end transparency report (security, finances, KPIs) • Migrate multisig → DAO Safe + timelock • Hard-freeze code for 3-month stability window |
60 M volume • $8-10 M TVL • 800 coins • 15 k MAUs • 0 critical exploits |
I open the floor to discussion of these proposed tasks and objectives, and their relative prioritization. Some metrics are fairly conservative and should be easily achieved, but it’s always best to start simple and small, IMO. Cheers, ~z.
