Roadmap

What's shipped, what's next, what we're kanoodling on.

This page is our kanban board. Every phase we've finished, every item we're actively building, every half-formed idea sitting in the parking lot. Updated as often as the code changes — with dev notes in between for the thinking that doesn't fit a task row.

Shipped

60+ items shipped, 46,000+ blocks produced.

The chain is running. Eight validators across three continents producing blocks under real BFT consensus. Explorer, CLI wallet, Chrome extension, desktop app + auto-updater, playground, SDK, social showcase, Telegram wallet — all live today.

In progress

The current focus — delegate, tokenise, govern.

Cross-contract calls and the desktop auto-updater are out the door. What is next: commission + delegation, the ARC-20 token standard, governance v2 tiers, and growing the public validator set. All on the path to mainnet.

Kanoodling

Ideas worth remembering, not ready to commit.

Dynamic fee adjustment. Bond burning on slashing. WebSocket subscriptions. DeFi primitives. On-chain token registry. The parking lot is where an idea lives until we have the evidence or the time to move it up the board.

Active build

What we're building right now.

Priority 01

Governance v2 tiers.

Split proposals into hard and soft. Soft for parameter tuning and treasury spends. Hard for invariants, VM libraries, and economic changes — 3-week window, 2/3 supermajority, 10% stake quorum. Hard floors stay unreachable.

Priority 02

Commission + delegation.

Per-validator commission rate (20% cap, 24h change cooldown), delegator accounts with pro-rata rewards and shared slashing, redelegate helper. The rest of Staking v2 — what makes home validating economic for small operators.

Priority 03

ARC-20 token standard.

Native token interface for the chain: balanceOf, transfer, approve, allowance + Transfer/Approval events. Explorer decodes Transfers, wallet auto-detects holdings, optional on-chain TokenRegistry for verified metadata. Blocks mainnet readiness.

· Dev note

"A chain that claims 'anybody can validate' can't halt when a laptop closes. So we made the committee a function of who actually showed up in the last 30 blocks."
