Concurrent development includes comprehensive security audits by leading blockchain auditing firms and strategic team expansion, adding over 15 developers, marketers, and operations staff. Partnership development secures listings on three tier-1 centralized exchanges while establishing integrations with major DeFi platforms and initiating institutional investor conversations.
Q4 2025: Development Acceleration
Following presale completion by November 30, 2025, the focus shifts to intensive technical development and AI platform architecture design. This phase emphasizes core protocol finalization, comprehensive security reviews by multiple audit firms, and cross-chain bridge development for Ethereum and other blockchain networks.
The Centeon AI framework begins development during this period, with distributed machine learning architecture design and AI SDK planning. Ecosystem preparation intensifies through developer tool creation, partnership expansion, and post-presale marketing campaigns while establishing regulatory compliance frameworks.
Q1 2026: Testnet Launch and Ecosystem Development
January 1, 2026, marks the public testnet launch featuring full Layer 2 functionality with EVM compatibility, achieving performance targets of 10,000+ TPS with sub-second finality. The Centeon AI testnet debuts alongside basic AI agents and machine learning infrastructure for developer testing.
This phase witnesses the SDK release with comprehensive documentation, Centeon AI Studio beta launch, and a $500,000 prize pool hackathon focused on AI development. The developer grant program launches with a $2 million annual budget while DeFi protocol development advances with CenSwap beta and CenLend alpha implementations.
