TAO Roadmap

TAO Roadmap

Our roadmap shows the progress made in each of the core stages of the TAO Framework which include the deployment of the Three-Dimensional Chain (3DC). Each letter represents one of the three consensus upgrades that correspond to the addition of a lock level on the 3DC.

The roadmap to success

What are our major goals?

Mobile and Web Dapps

• Mobile Wallet Official Release
• Mobile P2P Quantum Resistant Encrypted Chat App with Programmable chat rooms and user authentication
• Mobile Wallet additions to allow Remote Sessions for using Mobile Wallet and/or Desktop Wallet as a 2FA source
• Decentralized Search Engine (https://nexus.io/search) for censorship free search and personalized results based on local data. No tracking, no ads, no censorship. Reputation and results ordering maintained on-chain
• LLD and LLP Service Layer for use in Web-Apps and also accessible through the LLL-TAO API System
• Mobile P2P and decentralized Uber dapp with 0% fees, on-chain reputation, and collateralized delivery functionality
• Mobile P2P DEX Interface for trading tokens on Nexus or Hybrid/Sister chains in a mobile Dapp
• Mobile P2P decentralized Geo-Spacial markets where you can buy and sell locally any legal product(s). This combines with the P2P decentralized delivery system so that goods can be transported as another additional revenue for drivers
• Mobile Filesystem Backup to use LLL-TAO File System to backup files on your device and allow access with the Nexus Dapp Suite
• LX-OS Microkernel with Linux Compatibility Layer to run certain flavors of Android OS such as Graphene and allow hardware compatibility and security beyond the Google Pixel

Tritium++

5.1.x

Mobile Wallet

• Final Bugfixes to get Mobile wallet released

5.2

• SQL Language Updates: Upgrades to the SQL language in the API to add additional functionality and operators
• Removal of OpenSSL: Complete Removal of OpenSSL using our own embedded TLS and Cryptography in the LLC
• Integration of O(!) LLD Service: Integrate O(!) LLD Service completely into the complete Network
• New APIs: P2P Messenger API, Crypto API

5.3

• Remote Login System and API, Sigchain Ledger VM to create programmable access patterns to your sigchain with multiple sets of credentials

6.0

• Hard Fork for Difficulty Adjustments, Security Updates, Initial Filesystem Hosting, and Initial Augmented Contracts

6.1

• Post hard fork maintenance, DSL for Initial Augmented Contracts, Signature Chaining Space Reduction Complete

7.0

• Hard Fork for Security Updates, Pooled Staking, Incentivized Hybrid Mode, Final Incentivized Filesystem, and Final Augmented Contracts

7.1

• Post hard fork maintenance, Final DSL for Augmented Contracts

8.0

• Hard Fork for implementation of Starfish Funding Model as an on-chain enforced protocol, currently allocation is voted via trust keys on-chain but is not enforced by the ledger

Amine

9.0

• Hard Fork to add additional hash reference ID for an Amine Shard(s)
• Initially 4 shards will be created using pBFT and nPoW + Trust that reference the main chain
• A user will be required to opt-in to a shard to process within in it, or can opt-out and process transactions using the Tritium Protocol
• This will be ongoing throughout Amine if any adjustments need to be made
• Hard Fork to deprecate UTxO, retain support for it in processing but not allow new UTxO transactions to be made

9.1.x

• Post Hard-Fork Maintenance while releasing TAO only mode where we can truncate the chain at the first Tritium Block, and keep headers of the Legacy chain to save disk space
• Processing of Legacy transactions will be stopped and their history locked
• Any coins not in a sigchain at this point will be considered lost, and we can update our coin-supply

10.0

• Add Trust System to Mining Nodes to weight their proof of work with trust along with the actual work completed
• Add Trust System to Hybrid Network Sigchains to develop an algorithm of consistent contributions to the network in the form of NXS payments for use with the hybrid systems
• Add Trust System to Ambassador Network Sigchains to develop the algorithm of voting allocated funded between Embassies and as our final voting group

10.1.x

• Post Hard-Fork maintenance, add global network data sharding using the LLD so that your node only has to retain part of the chain dataset, while keeping the main chain as a list of block headers for reference
• This is a stair stepped process that will eventually lead to full data and process sharding

Obsidian

11.0

• Hard Fork to link all the voting groups into global systems maintenance such as fee management, and fund management to each DAO (Embassy) that's been allocated

11.1.x

• Post Hard Fork Maintenance updates

12.0

• Hard Fork to develop a mining share system, where initial merkle proofs of all miners shares can be submitted over a Tritium Block and the reward distributed among the submitters of the given share
• This also weights the block based on the total proof of work, and the total trust that generated it
• Every miner can then contribute to each individual block, but must agree on the same merkleRoot to hash together

12.1.x

• Post Hard Fork Maintenance updates

13.0

• Hard Fork to develop nPoS shards and cross links between L1 State channels along with full Data Sharding of transaction and register states

13.1.x

• Post Hard Fork Maintenance updates

14.0

• Hard Fork to deprecate the main chain from the first 3D block, weave the L1, L2, and L3 layers together, still retaining only 4 L1 state channels

14.1.x

• Post Hard Fork Maintenance updates

15.0

• Hard Fork to add the mitosis process for splitting of L1 state channels and L2 nPoS shards to increase capacity, or merging them to decrease capacity

15.1.x

• Post Hard Fork Maintenance updates

16.x.x

• Hard Fork and maintenance updates to adjust consensus parameters as final upgrade to the core protocol
• This could include modifying certain values for security, and touching up on any updates that need to be done to the 3DC
