Path is delivered in three phases. Each phase widens the surface but keeps the same underlying engine. The phase ordering is deliberate—it lets us reach institutional users today without taking on regulatory exposure we are not yet structured to carry.

Phase 1 — Read-only intelligence

Live today. No transactions. No regulatory surface.
Users connect a wallet and see Path’s predictions across every monitored pool: direction, confidence score, gas-aware break-even, and the rebalance cost of moving from one pool to another. Path provides the signal; the user decides whether to act on it. Read-only mode is the right starting point because:
  • Zero regulatory exposure. We are not custodying funds, not executing trades, not pretending to be a managed product. Information layer only.
  • Wide top-of-funnel. Anyone can connect a wallet and start consuming the predictions. The bar for institutional pilots is “do these signals correlate with what I would have done”, not “do I trust you with my balance sheet”.
  • Calibration feedback. Every prediction we publish gets a forward resolution within 7 days. That stream is what trains the next generation of the engine.

Phase 2 — Transaction crafting

Path generates the rebalance transactions. The user still signs and submits. This is the phase where Path slots into modular rail layers as a strategy manager. Two integration shapes live here:
  • Embedded API + widget. Existing earn surfaces (custodians, asset managers, on-chain treasury platforms) embed the Path widget. The widget reads the user’s wallet context, calls Path’s API, presents the optimised allocation, and hands the user a pre-built transaction for signing.
  • DON-signed signals. Path output runs through a Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) workflow that produces DON-signed verifiable signals. Any vault contract on any supported chain can read those signals with cryptographic guarantees, converting “trust Path’s off-chain compute” into “verifiable on-chain signal”.
The transaction-crafting layer is what makes Path institutional. It is also the layer that introduces a regulatory dependency, which is why we are deliberately keeping it gated behind the appropriate licensing discussions.

Phase 3 — Policy engine + automation

Path becomes a policy engine that automates allocation based on a user-defined risk profile. The first thing it does on user connection is read the wallet’s behavioural history to classify the user as a yield-chaser, a stability-first allocator, or somewhere in between. Allocation suggestions then surface that match the profile. Phase 3 requires the regulatory framework Phase 2 forces us into. We are not building it yet; we are structuring Phase 2 in a way that makes Phase 3 a configuration change, not a re-architecture.
