2026 Parallel Protocol Roadmap - Cooper Labs

May 2026 Recap:

  • General:
    • Focus is on USDp Growth & Parallel v3.2.
    • We spent the month evaluating possibilities & strategy for the Parallel Bank project.
    • We have held numerous discussions with our partners to reassure them about the security of the protocol.
    • We have also initiated discussions with our auditors to understand how the error slipped through the various audits & formal verifications and how to improve future audit processes. In addition, we have secured an agreement with the auditors (Bailsec and Cyfrin) to conduct the audit of the fixes related to the identified issue at no cost.
    • We have also reached an agreement with BailSec to conduct a new comprehensive audit of the protocol with different auditors at an 80% discount, bringing the cost down to $25,000.00 instead of $125,000.00. We will publish a proposal in the coming weeks to present this to the DAO.
