Router Protocol: Roadmap Ahead
As we move into the final stretch of the year, we’re focusing on scaling our OGA infrastructure, simplifying integrations, and bringing new routes across ecosystems.
Over the next few months, we’ll be rolling out key updates aimed at developers, businesses, and users alike, making cross-chain swaps faster, more efficient, and easier to integrate.
Here’s a closer look at what’s coming up.
October: B2B Readiness
October is a month of farewells and new beginnings. As we say our final goodbye to the Router Chain, we’re also rolling out several key updates aimed at B2B readiness and developer integration. The focus this month is on enabling teams and developers to plug into Router’s network seamlessly, while setting up the tools and docs needed for scalable integration.
Chain closure:
Post pausing the bridge, all unbridged tokens will be airdropped to Ethereum. We are still targeting October 31st for the complete Router Chain closure. Please don’t treat this as a hard deadline, as there are multiple variables at play.
CEX migration support:
We are working with all the CEXes to migrate assets from Router Chain to Ethereum. MEXC and GATE rebalancing has been completed.
API rollout:
First version of the APIs for same-chain and cross-chain swaps will be ready, giving partners the flexibility to integrate Router directly.
Integration Docs:
Comprehensive documentation to integrate the API for optimal routing efficiency.
Bridge Expansion:
Integration of NEAR Intents, enabling exotic cross-chain routes.
@near_intents already live!
New Destinations:
Support for additional destination chains; Zcash and TON.
@Zcash already live!
November: Expansion
With the groundwork in place, November focuses on scaling Router’s reach across chains and integration touchpoints.
Chain Expansion:
Support for
@Bitcoin,
@trondao, and additional EVM chains.
Bridge Expansion:
Integration with
@EverclearOrg and
@mesonfi bridges.
iFrame Widget:
Lightweight widget for quick website integrations.
OGA Framework Integration Docs:
Docs for seamless integration within the OGA framework via dynamic nodes.
December: Innovation & Forward
The year closes with forward-looking research and flexible integration options for developers.
Source Gasless Transactions:
Research into enabling gasless transactions from source chains.
Bridge Expansion:
Integrations with
@Chainflip and
@squidrouter bridges.
SDK Widget:
A customizable SDK widget for deeper website integrations.
And Beyond
Explainer videos on the OGA are dropping soon.
A much-awaited campaign kicking off towards the end of October, stay tuned.
We’re excited for what’s ahead, and the next few months are just the beginning; there’s much more coming in 2026. Stay tuned!
