Product Roadmap
🧭 Latch Roadmap
The roadmap is structured in four phases, each focused on progressively decentralizing the protocol and extending its integration across the MCP × x402 ecosystem.
Phase 1 — Foundation (Completed / Ongoing)
Establishing the base infrastructure for MCP and x402 interoperability
Key Milestones:
Launch of Latch Core Protocol — unified payment layer for MCP and x402
Deployment of Facilitator Proxy at
x402.latchmcp.appSDK + CLI release (
withLatchClient,createMcpPaidHandler)Integration with Solana and Base for dual-chain x402 payments
Initial listing on x402scan
Internal developer console for endpoint registration and analytics
Outcome: A stable, multi-chain payment core allowing any MCP server or tool to accept x402 payments automatically.
Phase 2 — Developer Layer (In Progress)
Empowering builders with full lifecycle tools and open monetization
Key Milestones:
Launch of Latch Registry — public index of MCP servers, tools, and analytics
Release of no-code monetization dashboard (set per-call pricing directly)
SDK upgrades for custom logic, pricing hooks, and on-chain analytics
Facilitator health monitoring, auto-failover, and SLA visibility
Testnet staking module integration (Base + Solana)
Developer incentive pool (rewarding top-usage servers)
Outcome: Developers can register, price, and track their tools with a few lines of code or via UI — all while earning directly on-chain.
Phase 3 — Ecosystem Expansion
Scaling interoperability and establishing autonomous agents
Key Milestones:
MCP integration for major AI clients (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Windsurf)
Agent Layer (autonomous agents performing x402 calls and verifications)
Cross-protocol payment bridging (Base ↔ Solana via facilitator relays)
$LATCH Staking & Boost system (real-yield, revenue-based model)
Ecosystem grant program for open-source MCP services
x402-based analytics and usage proofs on-chain
Outcome: A complete ecosystem where AI agents, servers, and protocols interact via pay-per-use mechanisms — coordinated through $LATCH staking.
Phase 4 — Decentralization & Governance
Transitioning Latch into a fully open, community-governed network
Key Milestones:
Launch of on-chain governance for facilitator sets, registry policies, and tokenomics updates
Permissionless facilitator registration with verifiable uptime metrics
Decentralized staking relays across supported networks
Cross-chain reward and treasury management contracts
Long-term DAO framework for proposal voting and treasury deployment
Outcome: Latch evolves into a self-sustaining protocol layer, governed by developers and participants — powering the payment backbone for autonomous, on-chain AI services.
