Housecat Roadmap
Housecat would like to share what to expect in the coming year.
To build the ideal native Web3 asset management experience for asset managers they will go beyond token whitelists and broaden access to the most exciting emerging DeFi assets. And will also aim to build the best tools in the market to deploy the chosen strategies. At the same time, focuses on continuously improving the co-investment experience through an intuitive interface and post-trading tools for investors.
Having surveyed the on-chain asset management space, they saw two issues that fell behind their mission of democratizing crypto investment strategies and empowering people to become asset managers.
The first issue is the slow pace of new asset additions such as new L1s and emerging tokens. Equally important is the lack of tools to use these assets for lending, staking, or accessing new AMMs. DeFi moves at a breakneck pace, and matching the speed of new product introduction or proliferation on the Housecat platform will open up exciting possibilities for asset managers as well as their co-investors.
If you’re a crypto fund manager who’s interested in being one of the first ones to try Housecat – we’d love to hear from you!
The second shortcoming that they saw was the absence of an intuitive DeFi investor experience. This one concerns co-investors and is the second product pillar they will focus on at Housecat. They aim for a trading experience that will feel second nature to anyone regardless of their finance or crypto knowledge—coupled with asset on-ramps and post-trading tools such as tax management and investing in content for educating co-investors.
Big things have small beginnings and Housecat V1 is starting with the basics. At launch, they plan to have a simple but highly efficient mirror trading experience and support a good set of whitelisted tokens to ensure liquidity.
Many of you have asked about the fees and documentation. They’re keeping it straightforward. Asset managers will be able to set their chosen management fee and a performance fee. Housecat’s fee will be 0.25% on all trades.
After launch and in the coming year, here’s what you can expect from Housecat:
- Integrate yield farming opportunities with QuickSwap.
- DeFi plug-ins and integrations with Aave and Compound.
- Introduce asset management customisations such as lock up periods.
- Audit and launch V2.
- Going multichain and opening the protocol for all tokens.
They’ll use funding round to grow their team (please join us remotely or in Helsinki!) and community. Over the next few weeks and months, you’ll catch Housecat on your favorite podcast and show 😉.
They’d also love to speak with you and their team will be at the following conferences:
- Permissionless in Miami, May 17-19
- and EthCC in Paris, July 19-21
About Housecat
Housecat is an open-source infrastructure and a platform that allows users to mirror the trades and DeFi-actions of other participants. We’re first building on Polygon and will start out with the tokens that have the most liquidity. The smart contracts will be decentralized and trustless in line with the best DeFi protocols.
