We’re pleased to reveal our first official project roadmap and mid-to-long term vision for MAIV. As we enter the third quarter of 2025, MAIV is transitioning from early-stage deployment and community building, to platform-scale execution. The groundwork laid in the first half of the year product development, legal structuring, and community growth, has positioned us to accelerate into the next phase of our mission: building a robust, compliant, and accessible infrastructure for decentralized investment.
This update outlines our strategic roadmap for Q3 and previews select priorities extending into late 2025 and early 2026.
1. Product Launches and Platform Development
1.1. New Website + Branding for MAIV.io
Although we refreshed our website’s look and feel earlier this year, we will be launching a fully redesigned website for MAIV.io – with utility and institutional user onboarding at its core.
The new site will serve as the primary entry point to the MAIV ecosystem, with improved user experience, updated brand positioning, enhanced documentation, and clear onboarding pathways for both individuals and institutions.
We’re also dialling in on our messaging, ensuring that we’re clearly communicating MAIV’s market proposition to institutional investors and end users.
1.2. Testnet Launch for the MAIV Investment Platform
Our testnet for institutional investors opens at the end of Q2 2025, with our public testnet scheduled to go live early in Q3 2025. It will allow builders, early users, and partners to interact with the core functionality of the MAIV protocol in a sandboxed Ethereum testnet environment – full details on testnet chain and faucet claim functionality coming soon. This represents the first step towards real utility for the MAIV token within our platform, and the first opportunity for MAIV holders to see the use case of MAIV in action.
This phase is essential for testing, audits, and final refinements before mainnet deployment. We encourage all of our community members to help us test and improve on the testnet so we have a successful launch at our mainnet push.
1.3. Mainnet Platform Launch and First Public Investment Pool
Following the testnet, pending feedback and stabilisation, bug improvements, and audits, we will move to the mainnet launch.
MAIV will launch on mainnet with its first public investment pools. This will mark the beginning of live, on-chain capital allocation through our platform, providing decentralised access to structured investment products in a fully transparent manner. It will also be the first time mainnet MAIV is actively used within our platform.
1.4. Launch of New Staking Portal
A new staking portal will be launched to support MAIV governance, MAIV token delegation, and reward tracking. The new interface will provide a secure and intuitive way for users to participate in network operations and receive rewards for supporting the protocol.
2. Token Ecosystem & Expansion
2.1. Evolving MAIV Token Utility
As of Q2 2025, the MAIV token serves as the backbone of our governance and early platform engagement. Utility today includes:
- Governance Participation and Staking
MAIV holders can stake tokens and actively participate in shaping the protocol’s evolution through governance proposals. This function will be fully enabled with the upcoming staking portal launch. - Testnet Access and Protocol Interaction
Token holders are granted early access to interact with the investment platform testnet, providing valuable feedback and insights into the protocol’s mechanics prior to mainnet deployment. - Ecosystem Engagement and Incentives
Early contributions to the MAIV ecosystem—whether through testing, community building, or advocacy—may be recognized through MAIV-based incentives and rewards.
Looking ahead into Q3 2025 and beyond, we are expanding the token’s role with several strategic upgrades:
- Mainnet Investment Pool Access
MAIV will be an active utility token within the investment platform, enabling access to public investment pools, powering allocation mechanisms, and potentially facilitating protocol-level fee interactions. - Staking Portal Deployment
A dedicated staking interface will go live, allowing for streamlined delegation, governance participation, and transparent reward tracking for all MAIV token holders. - Initiation of Token Burn Events
To reinforce long-term value alignment, MAIV will introduce scheduled token burns—reducing total supply in line with revenue model maturity and platform growth. - Multi-Chain Utility Expansion
MAIV will begin integrating with other blockchain networks, starting with Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. These integrations will support lower-cost interactions, broader accessibility, and increased liquidity across ecosystems.
These developments reflect MAIV’s ongoing commitment to building a sustainable, high-utility token economy rooted in real-world usage, governance transparency, and community alignment.
2.2. Multi-Chain Integrations
MAIV will integrate with multiple blockchain networks, to offer cross-chain functionality, reduce user transaction costs, and open new communities and market opportunities for the MAIV token.
Initial integrations will focus on Ethereum Layer 2 solutions and eventually select non-EVM ecosystems, supporting a broader and more inclusive user base.
2.3. MAIV Token Burn Events Introduced
MAIV will introduce token burn events to reduce the amount of total supply over time. As our revenue model matures, the supply requirements for MAIV tokens held by MAIV have reduced, enabling us to conduct significant burns of total supply and reduce the number of tokens that can enter circulation. This is of particular significance to our early core community and we’ll have more information about token burn amounts and schedules soon.
3. Operations and Organisational Development
3.1. Base Legal Prospectus Release (EU Entities)
MAIV will publish its initial legal prospectus to support structured investment activity within the European Union. This document will serve as a foundational element for ongoing compliance work and regulatory interaction across key jurisdictions. This includes a prospectus for our institutional investment pools and gives MAIV a clear regulatory framework.
3.2. Regional Office Growth
To support international growth and regulatory engagement, we are establishing regional operations in priority markets – Africa, Asia, and Latin America. These offices will serve as local hubs for compliance, partner support, and community outreach. With our regional expansion, we will move one step closer to making MAIV a globally recognized platform for institutional investors, and open more opportunities for MAIV token adoption.
4. Partnerships and Ecosystem Integration
4.1. Web3 Partnerships
We are actively developing partnerships within the Web3 ecosystem, including protocol integrations, liquidity collaborations, and staking partnerships. These alliances will help extend the MAIV token’s functionality and strengthen its position within the decentralised finance landscape, and also open the door to new communities to discover the MAIV ecosystem and token.
4.2. Venture Capital and Private Investment
Strategic engagement is ongoing with venture capital firms and private investors to support early platform growth and liquidity provisioning. These relationships will also play a key role in long-term ecosystem development and establishing MAIV as a major institutional player. We are actively engaged in onboarding institutional members to the MAIV platform through MAIV token ownership.
4.3. Web2 Finance and Fintech Partnerships
MAIV is in discussions with traditional financial and fintech partners to explore integration opportunities, particularly in areas such as fiat on-ramps, cross-border payments, custody infrastructure, and other institutional investment products. These efforts are central to bridging decentralised and traditional finance through the MAIV platform and bringing greater utility to the MAIV token.
Looking Ahead
The months ahead will define MAIV’s position not just as a product, but as a trusted financial infrastructure layer. Our roadmap reflects a deliberate strategy: launch core products, validate performance and security, and scale through partnerships, compliance, and community engagement.
We appreciate the ongoing support of our community, early contributors, and strategic partners. Your involvement continues to shape MAIV’s future and the journey is only just beginning.
