To provide more transparency to our community members, and bring clarity regarding further Covesting module development priorities, we have put together this roadmap.

This roadmap should serve as indicative plan / rough vision of where we want to take Covesting module in the near future. It should not be treated as a development obligation of any sort.

We may discontinue development or remove any of these features from this roadmap in case we face certain difficulties during early development stages, or we simply may decide that one feature or another is not be efficient business wise to continue supporting/developing it. Certain regulatory environment changes may also affect the provided roadmap and available features/tools on the Covesting platform.

Therefore, do not treat the provided roadmap as something that is “set in stone”. As always, we will adapt to ever-changing cryptocurrency space and will apply best industry practices. We want to make Covesting a safe place to trade and follow your favorite strategies, while always prioritizing risk management, and preventing fraud as well as market manipulation by any possible means.

Dev Roadmap

All upcoming features provided below are not listed in any specific order. Priorities will largely depend on statistical data that we gather, observations, community demand, market conditions and development schedule of our partner platforms.

Due to the fact that Covesting runs on B2B model, licensing its technology to third party providers such as Swift Expert Trades, we largely depend on their development plans as well as development speed, security protocols and compliance requirements. Therefore, development of certain features may take longer than expected.

At Covesting we never stop moving forward and adopting to whatever this dynamic industry brings us. As you can see — there has a lot been done to improve the Covesting module since the day it was fully launched in August 2020.

We have finally introduced long awaited COV token utilities, we introduced multiple risk management features and limitations to protect our users and make business more sustainable. Our engineers have massively improved performance of the Covesting front-end as well as backend (copy-trading engine) to facilitate significant amounts of orders and there is still much more to be done in order to make users experience even better.

Covesting is only few months old since its public launch, and we are extremely excited about how things developed during this short period of time. Business development-wise, once the product is fully developed and time-proven/tested, we will aim to get more B2B partners such as Swift Expert Trades on board.

Yours truly,
Covesting
