Geoquest GEO Token Project Roadmap

This roadmap outlines the development phases for Geoquest’s GEO token and its underlying platform, designed to provide a secure and decentralised exchange for geological carbon storage assets. The launch is targeted for Q1–Q2 2025, with key milestones defined below to ensure a successful release while protecting sensitive project details.

  • 2024 — Foundation and Development Phase

  • Q4 2024

    • Core Protocol Development: Finalise and test smart contract architecture, including minting, staking, collateral management, and governance contracts.
    • Tokenomics Finalization: Complete tokenomics structure and economic modelling, ensuring alignment with collateralisation requirements.
    • Legal Compliance Review: Secure legal opinions and ensure the GEO token aligns with applicable regulations (AML/KYC, utility token classification, and relevant financial laws).
    • Beta Collateral Pools Setup: Establish isolated collateral pools (Exchange, Market Maker, Buffer Reserve) on testnet for initial simulations.
    • Platform UI/UX Design: Develop user interface prototypes for token access, trading, governance, and staking functionalities.

  • 2025 — Pre-Launch and Public Release Phase

  • Q1 2025

    • Private Beta Launch: Initiate a closed beta with select partners and carbon storage operators to test token minting, collateral pools, and exchange mechanics on a limited basis.
    • Smart Contract Security Audits: Complete third-party audits on all primary smart contracts to ensure security and operational reliability.
    • Governance Structure Launch: Begin testing decentralised governance mechanisms, enabling beta users to submit proposals and vote on parameters (collateral acceptance, staking incentives, etc.).
    • Partnership Engagement: Formalize key partnerships with geological carbon storage operators, strategic investors, and other industry stakeholders to expand ecosystem adoption.
    • Marketing Campaign Preparation: Develop and refine a marketing and community-building campaign for launch, focusing on key messaging around sustainability, governance, and utility of the GEO token.

    Q2 2025 — Public Launch

    • Official Token Launch and Exchange Activation: Launch the GEO token on major exchanges and activate the Geoquest Exchange, enabling live trading of carbon storage derivatives and token governance.
    • Governance Protocol Activation: Open full governance to the community, allowing token holders to vote on new collateral entries, staking mechanisms, and platform upgrades.
    • Platform Scaling and Performance Optimization: Deploy necessary upgrades to support an influx of users, focusing on transaction speed, user interface improvements, and fee reduction.
    • Staking Rewards Activation: Launch staking incentives and rewards, allowing token holders to lock GEO tokens for ecosystem benefits, including collateral liquidity and governance rewards.

  • 2025 to 2026 — Expansion and Feature Enhancement Phase

  • Q3–Q4 2025

    • Automated Market Maker (AMM) Integration: Implement AMM systems to boost liquidity and support scalable trading.
    • Global Partnerships Expansion: Expand Geoquest’s reach by onboarding additional carbon storage operators and key market makers across regions.
    • Data Integration and Oracles Implementation: Integrate secure data oracles to feed real-time geological storage values and market prices into the platform.

    2026

    • Advanced Governance Features: Introduce new governance modules based on community feedback, enabling more granular control over collateral risk parameters and platform decisions.
    • Interoperability and Cross-Chain Compatibility: Explore cross-chain solutions or layer-2 protocols to enhance GEO token’s compatibility and reduce transaction fees.
    • Compliance and Legal Monitoring: Continuously monitor global regulations to ensure compliance, addressing any updates or regional considerations for carbon storage assets and blockchain technology.

  • Beyond 2026 — Scaling and Long-Term Sustainability

  • 2026 and beyond

    • Token Ecosystem Growth: Focus on growing the GEO token’s user base and transaction volume, ensuring long-term utility through partnerships with new carbon-intensive sectors.
    • Decentralised Platform Operations: Gradually decentralise platform management and governance to empower the community further and minimise reliance on centralised control.
    • Advanced Analytics and Reporting Tools: Deploy enhanced analytics dashboards for users to track their holdings, governance impact, and market trends in carbon storage.

  • Roadmap Disclaimer

  • This roadmap is intended to provide a general overview of the anticipated development timeline and milestones for the Geoquest GEO token project. It reflects our current goals and estimated timeline based on available information and anticipated resources. However, all dates, development activities, and milestones outlined are subject to change due to a variety of factors that may impact the project’s progression, including but not limited to:

    • Technical Development: Certain milestones may be adjusted as we work to ensure the security, performance, and scalability of the GEO token and platform. Unforeseen technical challenges or the need for extensive testing may delay specific releases or feature implementations.
    • Regulatory Compliance: The GEO token project operates in a complex and evolving regulatory environment. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those related to AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and securities law, is critical. Changes in regulations or delays in obtaining necessary legal guidance may impact the roadmap or alter the planned development sequence.
    • Partnerships and Market Conditions: Establishing strategic partnerships with carbon storage operators and other stakeholders is essential to the platform’s success. The availability and timing of these partnerships, as well as market conditions within the carbon storage and blockchain sectors, may influence the project’s timeline and scope.
    • Security and Audit Requirements: The GEO token and related smart contracts must undergo thorough testing and security auditing to ensure platform integrity. Additional time may be allocated to complete these processes if necessary.
    • Community and Governance Feedback: Geoquest is committed to a community-driven approach. Input from the GEO token community and token holders may result in adjustments to platform priorities or changes to governance and feature timelines.

    While we strive to meet the estimated timelines and milestones set forth in this roadmap, there are no guarantees regarding the specific timing or order of future activities or releases. This document is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a binding commitment or as a guarantee of performance, functionality, or results.

    Geoquest reserves the right to modify or update the roadmap at any time in response to these factors or others that may arise during the course of development.
