## Sovryn Unveils 2022 Roadmap: Limit Orders, Zero Protocol, and Perpetual Swaps on the Horizon
Community Call #38 laid out a comprehensive and exciting product roadmap for 2022, promising a cascade of new features designed to enhance the Sovryn user experience. The plan includes the imminent launch of limit orders, a phased release of the Zero stablecoin protocol, and the mainnet launch of perpetual swaps, all while tackling crucial infrastructure upgrades to improve performance.
### Why is this Roadmap Important?
The 2022 roadmap represents a significant expansion of Sovryn’s DeFi capabilities. It moves beyond foundational features and introduces more sophisticated financial tools that users have been requesting, positioning Sovryn as a more complete and competitive DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin.
### What are the Key Launches?
* **Q2 2022:**
* **Limit Orders:** Spot and margin limit orders are development-complete and will go live shortly.
* **Zero Protocol Private Beta:** The highly anticipated Zero protocol will launch in a private, mainnet beta, allowing users to mint the Sovryn stablecoin.
* **Perpetuals on Mainnet:** A second trading competition will be held, this time on mainnet.
* **Q3 2022:**
* **Public Release:** The Zero protocol and perpetual swaps will see their full public release.
* **Borrow App Redesign:** A complete overhaul of the borrowing interface is planned.
* **Q4 2022:**
* **New Perpetuals Markets:** Expansion beyond the initial BTC/USD pair, allowing users to gain exposure to other assets like BNB while using only BTC as collateral.
* **Sovryn SDK & Deeper Lightning Integration:** Tools to make it easier for other developers to build on and integrate with Sovryn.
### The Graph Integration: A Key to Performance
A significant portion of the call was dedicated to explaining the integration of **The Graph protocol**. Previously, the Sovryn app pulled data directly from the blockchain, which could be slow and sometimes inaccurate. By using The Graph to index on-chain data and serve it in a cached form, the app will see dramatic improvements in loading speed and data reliability for user balances, trade history, and portfolio views. This is a critical infrastructure upgrade that will make the entire user experience smoother and more responsive.
