ICPSwap’s Next-Phase Roadmap and Potential Product Directions (Updated on April 3, 2025)

Two Important Updates:

1. ICPSwap 3.6 Version Launch (80% Complete)

• Redesigned and upgraded the Swap canister architecture to effectively prevent sandwich bot attacks.

• Integrated four-step trading into one-step Swap, resulting in a faster swap speed (at least a 25%+ speed improvement).

• Swap failure tokens will be returned to the user's wallet (your pool balance option will still be available for users who need it).

P.S. Why don't we use a single canister to improve processing speed? Since we are using Swap V3, which allows setting price ranges and corresponding liquidity, the computational workload is much higher. If we were to use a single canister for all pairs, instead of each trading pair having its own canister, the system would experience severe delays due to the increased computation load. Additionally, to ensure asset security and independent operation for each trading pair, we opted for the current architecture.

2. Ongoing User-Friendly Feature Optimizations and Upgrades

• One-Click Liquidity Adjustment: Easily modify price ranges for liquidity positions with a single action.

• Price Alert Tool: Stay informed with customizable price notifications

• Batch Trading on One Step: Support for batch transactions on multiple trading pairs to provide users with a better trading experience.

• Seamless Liquidity Provision: No need for manual swaps—simply use ICP(or ckUSDC) to add liquidity. The system will automatically calculate the required token ratio based on the selected price range, swap the necessary amount of ICP for XXX tokens, and complete the liquidity addition in one streamlined process.

• Smart Price Range Recommendations: Automatically suggest optimal price ranges based on 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day market trends. Help users maximize capital efficiency when providing liquidity.

• Enhanced ckBridge Functionality: Global progress tracking for ckToken-to-native token conversions.

• Wallet Labeling Feature: To prevent phishing attacks using similar-looking addresses, users can assign custom labels (e.g., My Wallet) to their wallets. This makes transfers easier and safer by allowing users to select saved labels instead of manually entering addresses.

• Trading Competition Feature: IC ecosystem project teams can create trading competitions via SNS proposals. During the event, a dedicated page will showcase competition details, total rewards, duration, real-time eligible trading volume, rankings, and more.

• Ongoing UI/UX Improvements: Continuous refinements to optimize usability and elevate the overall trading experience.

1. Possible Product Directions:

• Introduce AI-powered agents for ICPSwap users to provide analysis and insights for their trades (investments). The team will keep a close eye on AI developments.

• Cross-chain trading functionality (relying on DFINITY's Chain Key technology).

• C2C Token Marketplace: A dedicated trading venue for large transactions, scarce assets, and low-liquidity tokens.

• NFT Mining: Exploring the potential of NFT mining while considering the trajectory of the IC ecosystem's NFT market and the progress of NFT standardization (ICRC7, ICRC37).

• Integrated IC Ecosystem Social Features: Enhancing the trading experience by integrating social interactions within the IC ecosystem. Possible features include: Trade + Chat: Real-time discussion channels for specific trading pairs or market trends. Trade + Gamification: Introduce trading streaks, leaderboards, and achievement badges. Trade + News: Curated market news and project updates directly within the trading interface.

We are following our planned roadmap for development, but there may be instances where priorities shift due to unexpected circumstances or resource constraints. As ICPSwap and the IC ecosystem continue to evolve, we will implement these features and products—along with many more ideas and suggestions from the community!

Together, let's build the best trading platforms—ICPSwap & ICP.Exchange in the IC ecosystem!
