Roadmap
What's shipping next on Alien Base
Alien Base's mission is to be the human-friendly trading hub on Base — a full-stack platform that aggregates the entire chain's liquidity behind a CEX-quality interface, with custom protocols built on top to push capital efficiency further than any single DEX could.
Last updated: July 6, 2026. For what already shipped, see the Changelog. This page focuses on what's coming.
Right now
The active build cycle is the Alien Base 2.0 rollout authorized by AIP-5 (April 2026). The team is shipping the new tokenomics and the next product layer in parallel:
Trading terminal + Epsilon Router
Shipped — July 2026
Full app redesign around a TradingView-powered trading terminal, plus the on-chain Epsilon Router (0x303c…2580) with native order types: Limit, Take Profit, Stop Loss, Trailing Stop, trigger-price DCA, stop-loss DCA. Audited. See Epsilon.
Mothership (ALM)
Pre-launch — audit in flight, alpha imminent
Custom-built Automated Liquidity Manager. First "from-scratch" Alien Base protocol. Multi-range V3 management with strategy-plugin architecture. Public alpha launches with strict supply caps.
Alien Base 2.0 tokenomics
Onchain rollout in progress
POL Fund, Dev Line of Credit, govALB token, raised supply cap (cap raise not yet executed on-chain). See ALB Token.
Vaults
Live since Jan 2026; redesigned July 2026
Unifies V3 strategy vaults (Wide / Narrow / Ultra Narrow / Classic V3), Locked earn (esALB + esLP), and Legacy farms in one page.
Explorer (Epsilon Analytics)
Live since May 2025
Chain-wide Explorer, GoPlus-powered token safety checks, per-pool charts.
Q3–Q4 2026
Themes for the rest of 2026 (subject to DAO and operating-budget refresh):
Mothership Beta — wider access, multiple strategies, strategy marketplace where third-party LP managers earn fees on user capital.
Token Generator v2 — comprehensive launchpad with fair-launch tooling. Replaces and extends the current Token Generator MVP.
Analytics & Visualization Revamp — on-chart order overlays + PnL tracking on top of the live TradingView terminal. Deeper Explorer insights including wallet-cluster analysis (multi-wallets per user, bot detection, whale activity, team-sell detection).
Automated esALB reward distribution — modular fee payouts to esALB stakers, designed to plug into future ALM expansions.
Migration of remaining team-controlled contracts to the DAO Multisig — see the onchain control surface for which contracts are still team-owned.
Bigger horizons
Alien Base has consistently set ambitious long-term targets. The list below is honest about which ideas are active engineering and which are research / vision.
Mothership marketplace
Active engineering
"Marketplace of liquidity managers": third-party strategists publish strategies, attract user capital, earn fees. The Mothership architecture was designed for this from day one.
Project Quasar (lending / IL options)
Research / on hold
Originally pitched as the next product after V3; deprioritized in favor of Mothership and Epsilon Router. Reaffirmed in the Oct 2025 roadmap for "2025+" but no shipped artifacts.
Project Nebula (next-gen AMM)
Long-term vision
The original "everything in one AMM" vision: 50× concentrated liquidity, single-sided LP, no forced 50/50 split, instant liquidity for derivatives. No active engineering yet; will follow Mothership maturity.
Multi-chain expansion
On hold
The 2025 B3 deployment was explicitly classified as not having delivered in the Oct 2025 retro. The team is now more cautious about high-investment cross-chain partnerships.
What we're not building
A short list of things we've explicitly decided against — not because they don't exist on Earth, but because they don't fit Alien Base's strategy:
Yet-another-launchpad detached from a DEX. Token Generator v2 is integrated with the trading and liquidity stack, not a standalone fundraising venue.
Inflationary-only farming as a long-term mechanism. AIP-5 retired the fixed-halving farming model in favor of POL + buyback-and-burn.
A copy-paste perp DEX. Project Quasar is the leveraged-trading thesis, but only in a form that uses LP capital efficiently (impermanent-loss-as-options) — not as a generic GMX/dYdX clone.
How decisions get made
Major direction shifts happen via Snapshot proposal in the alienbase-dex.eth space. Anyone holding 100,000+ ALB can submit a proposal; see How to Propose. The full history of past votes is on the AIP Index.
For day-to-day product priorities, the team posts updates on Discord and longer-form articles on Medium.
