🚀 SECTION 10: IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP
10.1 📅 Q2 2026 Launch Sequence
The OTCM Protocol follows a methodical, security-first launch sequence designed to ensure flawless deployment of critical financial infrastructure. This section details the comprehensive pre-launch preparation, launch week execution plan, and post-launch stabilization procedures.
"Financial infrastructure requires zero-tolerance launch procedures. Every line of code, every regulatory filing, every system integration must be verified before a single transaction processes."
