Sai 2026 Roadmap

For 2026, the focus continues to be around trader-first trading, frictionless funding, and a more powerful user experience.

The priorities cluster around three themes: (1) bringing Sai to mobile with full feature parity, (2) integrating a fiat on-ramp so users can fund accounts directly with a credit or debit card, and (3) enhancing Sai’s trading toolset so power users have full position control.

Strategic Priorities

1 - Mobile Experience

The first priority is making Sai fully accessible on mobile. Starting with wallet browser support, traders will be able to access Sai through popular wallet browsers like Base Wallet, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet. This means you can trade directly from your wallet without needing to open a separate browser.

Following that, a native iOS and Android app is in development. The native app will include a shared design system across iOS and Android, the full trading flow including markets, position management, deposits and withdrawals, and push notifications for fills, liquidations, funding, and price alerts.

2 - Multichain Trades

Deposit and trade directly from Base, Ethereum, and other EVM-compatible chains using a single account, with no bridging required. You sign a transaction from the chain where your capital already lives, and Sai handles the rest behind the scenes.

3 - Platform Feature Expansion

Sai gains several high-impact trading features and a developer-facing surface. Together these close the gap with top-tier perp DEXs and unlock new flows for both manual traders and agentic systems.

• Add margin after a position is open: lower liquidation price without closing the trade

• Partial take-profit on any position: lock in gains in pieces instead of all-or-nothing

• Reverse position: flip from long to short (or vice versa) in a single action

• Limit sell orders: schedule exits at a target price

• Sai MCP: A Model Context Protocol server so Claude and other agents can read markets, manage positions, and place orders on Sai programmatically

• Sai Trading Bot: Easy integration with third-party applications like Telegram, Discord, and X to allow users to access to Sai’s engine with an application’s dedicated interface.

4 - Fiat On-ramp & Card Funding

Getting capital into Sai requires existing crypto, that typically lives onchain or off a centralized exchange. That's a hard stop for most new users. Integrating a fiat on-ramp provider with credit and debit card support enhances the funding flow into a few taps and unlocks a much larger top-of-funnel.

• Integrate a tier-1 on-ramp provider (e.g., Stripe Crypto, MoonPay) with multi-region coverage

• Credit and debit card funding directly into a user's Sai account. To also explore services that will enable Apple and Google Pay

• Embedded in both web and mobile app for a single funding experience

5 - Growth & Marketing

Distribution and retention initiatives that compound the product launches above. The mobile app and on-ramp give us reasons to bring users in; the programs below give them reasons to stay, trade more, and bring others with them.

• Nibiru NFT release: limited collection that doubles as an identity / status layer for early supporters and unlocks perks like fee discounts, points multipliers, whitelist access, and more.

• Points program: rewards traders for volume, holding, and referrals; designed to feed into future rewards.

• Ongoing trading competitions: always-on leaderboard with rotating prize pools and themed events (mobile launch, new market listings, fiat on-ramp activation) to drive volume and social proof.

NFT holders may earn boosted points, reduced fees, and more benefits. Top points earners and competition winners get whitelist access to future drops.

6 - Forward-Facing Initiatives

The items above are the current priority. The initiatives below may be incorporated into scope depending on bandwidth and capacity. The team continues to evaluate market conditions, and AI-based solutions are a growing focus that will keep moving up this list.

New Products Inside the DEX

• Spot trading and swaps integrated directly into Sai via a third-party provider like Oku Trade

• Onchain lending: borrow against your collateral or lend out what's idle

• Social and copy trading: follow top traders, mirror their positions with one tap

Interesting Financial Products

• Pre-launch token markets: take a position before a project's token goes live

• Structured notes: covered calls, principal-protected, yield-enhanced strategies as one-click products

More Exotic Markets

• Equities, commodities, FX, rates onchain, 24/7

• Prediction and event markets: elections, sports, macro data, anything with a clear outcome

• Long-tail listings voted in by the community

AI Agents and Strategy Managers

• Sai Co-pilot: an in-app assistant that suggests setups and explains risk

• AI Strategy Manager: give it a budget, a risk limit, and a thesis. It trades inside your parameters

• Natural-language trading: tell Sai what to do in plain English

• Agent-managed vaults: deposit into AI-run strategies with onchain performance

• Always-on risk monitor: watches positions, warns early, can hedge if you let it

Sai's near-term focus is removing friction for traders: a mobile-first experience, card funding, and the trade controls power users expect. This roadmap will be dynamic. Priorities shift as the markets shift, and feedback from traders and partners directly influences what gets built and in what order.
