Roadmap

BREAKING CHANGES:

• Better support for injecting randomness
• Upgrade consensus for more real-time use of evidence

FEATURES:

• Use the chain as its own CA for nodes and validators
• Tooling to run multiple blockchains/apps, possibly in a single process
• State syncing (without transaction replay)
• Add authentication and rate-limitting to the RPC

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Improve subtleties around mempool caching and logic
• Consensus optimizations:
  • cache block parts for faster agreement after round changes
  • propagate block parts rarest first
• Better testing of the consensus state machine (ie. use a DSL)
• Auto compiled serialization/deserialization code instead of go-wire reflection

BUG FIXES:

• Graceful handling/recovery for apps that have non-determinism or fail to halt
• Graceful handling/recovery for violations of safety, or liveness
