Three Rules Behind Every Milestone
Security First
Nothing ships without an outside review. Ironvale Security audited the ATL smart contracts in March 2026, and Northpeak Labs completed a security and reserve audit in September 2026.

independent audits passed
Build in Public
We update this roadmap every month, and customer reserves are attested on-chain every day with a public Merkle proof you can check yourself.

Community Governance
ATL holders vote on what ships next. One staked ATL equals one vote, proposals need a 30-day stake and every vote runs for seven days.
AIP-12

Shape What's Next
Every staked ATL is a vote on listings, fee changes and treasury grants. AIP-12, a proposal to cut swap fees for stakers by 30%, is open for voting now.

Roadmap items are plans and can change.
Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose money. Prices, staking rates and presale terms can change and are never guaranteed, and nothing here is financial advice.
