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!

54.8M $ROUTE tokens (equivalent to 1.63M unmigrated v1 ROUTE) to be burnt When Router Chain launched, the community approved a comprehensive tokenomics upgrade that included the migration from the original $ROUTE (v1) token to the new native $ROUTE (v2) (1 $ROUTE v1 = 33.33 $ROUTE v2). Over the past year, we ensured every community member had a fair opportunity to migrate, providing step-by-step guides, multiple reminders, and extending the migration window well beyond the initial six months. Through governance, the community made its decision. The proposal to bring closure passed, and August 25 was set as the definitive migration deadline. At the close of migration, 1,625,761 $ROUTE v1 tokens remained unmigrated. In line with the approved proposal, the equivalent 54,186,614 $ROUTE v2 tokens have been designated for permanent removal. The burn will be executed by Friday, September 12, 2025, after which these tokens will be gone forever. We thank the Router community for engaging in discussions, voting on the proposal, and helping shape this outcome. This milestone reflects our collective vision and shared belief that fairness, clarity, and sustainability are the right principles for building the future. Together, we move into Router’s next chapter.

1/3 Intern at @routerprotocol just leaked some internal chat data into my DMs 👀 Had to share this. These are test runs data for large crosschain swaps, think 1500 to 6000 ETH. Yep, massive size. It is their new Split-and-Optimize Engine (part of their Open Graph Architecture)
