Dependencies and Critical Path
Phase Dependencies
Sequential
Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3
Rationale:
- Phase 2 requires stable Phase 1 platform (can't build on broken foundation)
- Phase 3 requires scale from Phase 2 (regulated features need user base)
- Attempting parallel execution = resource waste, technical debt
Overlap Allowed:
- Phase 2 planning can START during Phase 1
- Phase 3 partnerships can be NEGOTIATED during Phase 2
Feature-Level Dependencies
Infrastructure
- Blocks: Partner integrations, staking, swaps, UI
Partner Integrations
- Depends on: Infrastructure complete
- Blocks: Beta launch, public launch
Beta → Public Launch
- Depends on: Partners ready, audits complete
- Blocks: Phase 2 start
AI Agent Development
- Depends on: User data from Phase 1 (behavior patterns)
- Blocks: Advanced automation features
Bridge Integrations
- Depends on: Multi-chain infrastructure stable
- Blocks: Complex cross-chain strategies
Scale Infrastructure
- Depends on: 50k+ users generating load
- Blocks: Phase 3 readiness
Regulatory Approvals
- Depends on: Legal opinions, partner agreements
- Blocks: TGE, RWA, securities features
TGE + Chain Testnet
- Depends on: Token legal clarity
- Blocks: OROKAI Chain mainnet
Chain Mainnet + Market Leadership
- Depends on: Testnet success, ecosystem readiness
- Blocks: Nothing (Phase 3 complete)
Non-Critical (Can Happen in Parallel)
Card integration (parallel with staking development)
Content marketing (parallel with all technical work)
Affiliate program design (parallel with Phase 2 features)
UI/UX improvements (continuous throughout all phases)
Security audits (start early, run in parallel)
Sequential validation
Each phase builds on validated foundations from the previous phase, ensuring stability and compliance before expanding functionality.
