Roadmap of Nebulas

Milestones

  • In 2017 December, Nebulas test-net will be online.
  • In 2018 Q1, Nebulas v1.0 will be released and main-net will be online (ahead of the original schedules).

v1.0 (2018 Q1)

  • Fully functional blockchain, with JavaScript and TypeScript as the languages of Smart Contract.
  • A user-friendly Nebulas Wallet for both desktop and mobile device to manage their own assets on Nebulas.
  • A web-based Nebulas Block Explorer to let developers and users search and view all the data on Nebulas.

v2.0 (2018 Q4)

  • Add Nebulas Rank (NR) to each addresses on Nebulas, help users and developers finding more values inside.
  • Implement Developer Incentive Protocol (DIP) to encourage developers build more valuable decentralized applications on Nebulas.

v3.0 (2019 Q4)

  • Fully functional Nebulas Force and PoD implementation.

Long term goals

  • Scalability for large transaction volume.
  • Subchain support.
  • Zero-knowledge Proof integration.
