# Deployment Order of Protocols {% hint style="info" %} The strategic deployment of Glue’s protocols ensures a robust and interconnected ecosystem that meets the core requirements to compete with centralised exchanges. By launching the lending protocol first, followed by the stablecoin, and then the DEX, Glue establishes a strong foundation for liquidity, stability, and seamless trading interactions. Each protocol is designed to integrate natively with the others, maximising utility, and user experience. This phased approach not only addresses immediate user needs but also sets the stage for sustainable growth and innovation within the Glue ecosystem. By focusing on quality, security, and user-centric design, Glue aims to create a decentralised financial system that is both powerful and accessible, driving widespread adoption and long-term success. {% endhint %} Given that the protocols were selected to maximise compatibility and usefulness to users, they rely on each other and need to be launched sequentially. Bridging is crucial and will be addressed in a separate paper. The strategic, phased deployment of Glue’s protocols ensures a robust and interconnected ecosystem that meets the core requirements to compete with centralised exchanges. This methodical approach establishes a strong foundation for liquidity, stability, and seamless trading, ultimately driving widespread adoption and long-term success.
