roadmap
where we are, what we are working on, where we are going. no date promises, just current state of the protocol.
updated 2026-04-17 · document version: v0.1
this roadmap reflects planning at the date of publication. it is not a contractual commitment nor a delivery promise. schedules, scopes, and priorities may change without notice. shipped reflects state audited by integration tests; in flight and next reflect intent under current conditions. nothing here should be read as a yield promise, a security offer, or investment advice.
what stands today
three recent milestones that form the auditable base of the protocol. each one was validated with an integration test before landing.
- 2026-04·
hello live end-to-end validated
whip capture, whep playback, manifest signed on base sepolia, content registry deployed.
- 2026-04·
content registry on-chain + signed manifests
ContentRegistry contract on base sepolia. canonical json manifests with offline verification.
- 2026-04·
rfc-4 (aup) and rfc-5 (persistence pool) published
foundational normative policies of the protocol written in ietf style.
what we are building now
active work in the current sprint. each item has an integration test as its done criterion.
- sprint 2·
cid canonicalization via cloudflare stream webhook
convert stream uid into canonical cid and sign the manifest automatically after encoding.
- sprint 2·
client fetch with cid auto-verification
viewer fetches manifest and segments by cid, verifies the hash, rejects any mismatch.
- sprint 2·
p2p: kademlia dht + circuit relay v2 in the provider node
transitive discovery across 3 nodes and relay route behind hostile nat. kill-switch test passing.
where we go next
the three next focuses after this sprint. none has a fixed date; each has an rfc or adr in draft.
- sprint 3·
p2p media loader integrated into the viewer
libp2p stream in the web client, fallback to cdn when the mesh does not hold the piece in time.
- sprint 3·
rfc-6 risk score — draft
formula R = 0.4·r_legal + 0.3·r_abuse + 0.3·r_values in draft; on-chain anchoring planned after external review.
- sprint 4·
rfc-7 moderation and ecumenical jury — draft
proposal for 12 seats with 4-year terms and veto authority over parameters; composition and rules under discussion.
