Roadmap

Rampper ships in phases, each one removing a little more trust from the system while keeping the core escrow stable.

Now — live escrow & order book

• Soroban escrow contract — vaults, intents, manual release, disputes, hard-capped fee.
• Indexer & order book fed by contract events — maker leaderboard, live quotes, liquidity depth.
• Arbiter dispute backstop — a platform arbiter resolves disputed intents only.

Next — trust & verification layer

The arbiter is a backstop, not the destination. The verification layer reduces how much anyone has to trust a human:

• On-chain verifier — add a verification layer (favored as a WASM upgrade to the fused escrow, or a separate verifier contract) so payment proofs can be checked programmatically.
• Payment-gateway webhooks — for merchant-tier makers, auto-release on confirmed fiat receipt instead of a manual click.
• PHP payment verification — integrate rails such as the Coins.ph API as a path to automatically confirm peso payments, alongside TEE / zkTLS approaches.

Then — gasless, frictionless onboarding

• Paymaster phase — bundle lazy trustline sponsorship and fee-bump so new users don’t need to pre-fund XLM or manage trustlines to start trading.

Later — decentralized dispute resolution

• Juror pool — move from a single platform arbiter toward a decentralized juror pool for dispute resolution, removing the last centralized point in the trade lifecycle.

Exploratory

• Rampper Remit — a separate, licensed remittance product that reuses the Rampper escrow unchanged as its settlement rail: sender pays USD, recipient receives PHP directly, neither side needs a wallet.
• Multichain — the off-chain stack (order book, matching, verification, arbiter, UI) is chain-agnostic and USDC is natively multichain, so parallel same-chain markets on other USDC chains are possible later. Stellar remains the home chain for now.
