We’re Halfway Through the Year, and Here’s Everything We’ve Built and What’s Still Coming

02.07.2025

At Graphite Network, we believe that delivering on promises is as important as setting bold goals. As we move into the second half of 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect – not just to mark our progress, but to reaffirm our commitment to steady, transparent development.

We’ve now completed every previously announced milestone on our public roadmap. That includes foundational work, community-facing initiatives, product launches, and strategic expansion. What follows is an overview of where we are, how we got here, and what’s next.

This is more than a status update. It’s a signal of trust, a demonstration of consistency, and a clear marker that we’re ready for the next stage.

1. Smart Contract Audit

Here’s something we’ve been looking forward to sharing: our smart contract audit, conducted by CertiK, is officially complete!

CertiK, trusted by the best when it comes to blockchain security, conducted a thorough, independent review that confirmed our smart contracts are not only secure, but built to last. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you know we’ve always prioritized transparency, integrity, and reputation over shortcuts. This audit formalizes that effort.

Our infrastructure has always been open, and now it’s been professionally validated. That matters – for users, partners, and anyone building on top of Graphite Network.

2. Market-Staking Program Release

We launched the Market Staking Program twelve weeks ago, and since then it’s grown into one of the most active components of our ecosystem.

The program has already distributed 721,900 $@G in rewards across chains – Polygon, Arbitrum, Binance Smart Chain, and Ethereum. The numbers continue to grow weekly, with rewards increasing by 20% every four weeks. Only the top 10% of traders per chain qualify, creating a structure that’s both competitive and fair.

Participation has been strong, with positive community feedback and consistent engagement across platforms like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Curve, Balancer, and Camelot. The staking program hasn’t just distributed rewards but it also strengthened the coin’s role in the ecosystem.

3. CEX Listing

We can now officially confirm that $@G will be listed on BitMart, our first centralized exchange partner. This is a big step in making our coin available to everyone, no matter where they are, which also enables smoother trading. The announcement was made publicly via BitMart’s official channel, and the listing positions us to reach new audiences while keeping user onboarding smooth and secure.

We’ve been deliberate about how and when to expand into CEX territory. This listing reflects that strategy: stable, organic growth over short-term hype.

4. Strategic and Ecosystem Partnerships

Beyond exchange access, we’ve formed two key partnerships that help us grow with the broader blockchain landscape:

  • BitMart joins us not just as a listing venue, but as a long-term strategic partner.
  • We’ve also partnered with the Conflux Network, creating compliance-ready infrastructure all over the world.
  • Guarda Wallet joins the list — not just as a listing, but as part of our mission to make $@G more accessible and user-friendly for everyone in the Graphite Network ecosystem.

These collaborations bring new integrations, shared technical insights, and future opportunities for Graphite Network-based applications.

5. Community Growth

Our community continues to grow in both size and depth.

Over the past quarter, we’ve run two core events:

  • A creator contest, bringing in original visual and educational content.
  • A hackathon, which sparked new developer activity and led to several promising projects.

The result? A 50%+ increase in community size, and a stronger signal from developers that they see real potential in building with us.

To support that momentum, we’ve launched a dedicated developer group – a space for builders, thinkers, and contributors to collaborate directly with our team. Supporting the people building on top of our protocol is now a primary focus.

6. Strengthening the Core Ecosystem

We’ve spent the past several months steadily improving core infrastructure (the kind of backend work that often goes unnoticed but is essential to growth).

Wallet Updates

  • Enhanced token display
  • Login via private key for better user control

New Features

  • Added Bitcoin support in the Graphite Network Instant Exchange interface
  • Integrated MetaMask into the Instant Exchange, lowering the barrier for new users

Explorer Improvements

  • Backend logic optimized for better performance
  • Refreshed UI for clarity and ease of use
  • New leaderboard highlighting top accounts by activity and trust score

These changes reflect our approach: iterative improvements, user feedback loops, and a commitment to stable systems over flash.

7. Launch of the Reputation Phonebook

We’re excited to announce the release of the first fully native product on Graphite Network: the Reputation Phonebook.

This tool connects phone numbers to on-chain reputation, offering a new way to assess trust before replying to a call or message. In a world full of robocalls and phone scams, the goal is simple: offer a verifiable trust layer for global phone interactions.

It’s a real-world example of how Web3 tools like on-chain reputation can move beyond theory and actually solve everyday problems. This is just the start of our product roadmap, and we’re proud it begins with something so tangible.

8. Conclusion

We’ve now delivered on every roadmap item we previously set out. That’s something we’re proud of, not because it means we’re finished, but because it confirms we’re building the right way: securely, consistently, and in alignment with our long-term vision.

The next phase is about scaling: reaching more users, deepening developer engagement, and launching products that make trust, compliance, and identity work together in practical ways.
