# 2027 & Beyond - Scaling, Expansion, and Innovation

As THAT grows, we are focused on scaling strategically — balancing product development with market expansion. While the following roadmap goals are well-defined, we remain flexible in their sequencing as we respond to changing market dynamics, community feedback, and resourcing.

This section outlines projected milestones — including in-app commerce features, global CEX listings, and international expansion. Several of these efforts are already in progress and may be expedited based on available bandwidth or strategic alignment.

#### Q1 2027 (TBC) - Feature Enhancements, Delivery Service Integration & International Expansion

* [ ] Release community-driven marketplace allowing users to trade directly via the app.
* [ ] Release invoicing functionality (for business owners) for THAT transactions.
* [ ] Implement NFC scanning functionality into app wallets for contactless payments.
* [ ] Commence development of delivery service integrations for in-app ordering.
* [ ] Enhance user interface and systems to accommodate the new delivery service.
* [ ] Secure CEX listings, particularly with exchanges supporting the US, UK, and Singapore markets.
* [ ] Enhance merchant onboarding in new, <mark style="color:orange;">to-be-determined</mark> capital cities worldwide.

### Anticipated Roadmap Updates (TBC) & Projected Enhancements

#### Introduce Delivery Service in the THAT App (Planned for Early 2027)
