Roadmap

  • Roadmap
Sprint 1 — Audit-Ready, Fork-Ready & DEX Live

EST. AUGUST 2026

  • Internal team L1 audit & fixes

    Complete the full-stack review against live mainnet (dispute-path integrity, key-escrow hardening, stuck-job settlement) and close remediation.

  • EIP-7702 fork enablement

    Prague/Electra execution-layer fork validated devnet → testnet, with mainnet activation prepared (pre-fork snapshot + versioned release).

  • Transfer LightDEX contracts to the DAO Timelock

    DEX ownership moved under the 48h TimelockController.

  • DEX go-live

    The community-approved DEX deployed and live as the launch venue and liquidity source.

  • Open-source the launchpad

    Launchpad contracts and application published publicly under branch protection, alongside the already open-sourced LightDEX. Branch protection is in place from day one; the full automated pipeline follows in Sprint 3.

  • Decentralization — development & mainnet readiness

    Build out the dispatcher-free sortition path to release quality on testnet (SessionManager + ReputationRegistry, worker self-claim, keeper incentives), rehearse the dispute→slash flow end to end, and prepare mainnet deployment artifacts for the Sprint 2 cutover.

  • Dispatcher-free web search

    Remove the centralized dispatcher from the search path, so a search-enabled request reaches the worker directly. Search answers become checkable, since the worker stores the sources it used alongside its answer. Adds a governance switch to exempt search jobs from automatic spot-checks, so honest workers are not penalized for answers that were correct when given.

  • External audit kickoff (queued)

    Hand over the internally remediated codebase to the booked external audit engagement, staged so the decentralization surface (SessionManager, ReputationRegistry, sortition, and the keeper path) is assessed first and can receive an interim sign-off ahead of the full report.

Sprint 2 — Decentralization Cutover & Accounts

EST. SEPTEMBER 2026

  • Direct answer streaming from workers (done)

    Replace the centrally run message queue in the answer path with a direct, verified connection from the worker to the delivery service, so a worker on a home connection or third-party hardware can stream answers without needing access to internal infrastructure.

  • Worker gateway — the public entry point for independent workers (done)

    Convert the gateway from a centralized dispatcher into an open front door for anyone running a worker, verifying job assignment on-chain, carrying live output through to users, and feeding the public worker explorer. Dispatcher-era routes are retired.

  • Full L1 security audit

    External audit of contracts, node, and service code in active progress, following the staged scope agreed at kickoff; team dedicated to auditor support and finding remediation.

  • Decentralization → mainnet (audit-gated)

    Cut sortition-based, dispatcher-free routing over to mainnet (SessionManager + ReputationRegistry deployment), gated on the auditor's interim sign-off of the decentralization scope, plus keeper incentives and a live dispute→slash rehearsal. If sign-off does not land in September, the cutover moves to Sprint 3.

  • EIP-7702 smart accounts

    Sponsored gas, batched approve-and-submit, and scoped session keys built on the enabled fork — the account layer the Developer API consumes.

  • Worker onboarding CLI

    Guided install and registration, preflight validation, connectivity tests, liveness watchdog, Discord/webhook alerts, and multi-GPU recipes — the most-requested community item.

  • Developer API/SDK groundwork

    OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint design and TypeScript SDK scaffolding on the live REST API.

Sprint 3 — Builders, Transparency & Open Source

EST. OCTOBER 2026

  • Audit remediation & open-sourcing preparation (audit-gated)

    Close external audit findings; repos prepared for public release under branch protection.

  • CI/CD deployment pipelines

    Automated build → test → deploy across repos with branch protection and required status checks, the backbone for safely onboarding external contributors and a prerequisite for open-sourcing the remaining repos.

  • Developer API/SDK — first public release

    OpenAI-compatible drop-in with streaming, pay-per-request via HTTP-402, TypeScript SDK, verified ABIs, and published endpoints, built on the Sprint 2 groundwork and smart accounts.

  • Deeper worker/validator analytics

    Per-worker status page, per-model completion rates, p50/p95 latency, disputes, earnings, uptime, CSV export, and a validator-side view.

  • Onboarding pathways & public AI playground

    “Start Here” tracks for users, builders, workers, and holders, plus a wallet-free public inference playground.

  • Smart-contract auto-audit + scoring

    Slither/Semgrep static analysis on verified contract sources with published trust scores on the explorer.
