[ Milestones ]

Roadmap

This roadmap is organized as milestones — not a status board. Workstreams can run in parallel; sequencing may adjust based on benchmarks, audits, and ecosystem readiness.

Phase 1 — Foundation
M1

PQ Wallet Layer (Cross-chain) MVP

Done

Deploy a wallet-layer custody primitive across multiple EVM chains (not cross-chain signing).

  • ◆ PQ verifier contract deployed once per supported chain (Falcon or ML-DSA/Dilithium lane)
  • ◆ PQ smart wallet that delegates signature verification to the verifier contract
  • ◆ MetaMask Snap for PQ key management + signing
  • ◆ Frontend onboarding + migration flow: Snap install → wallet deploy → deposit/migrate assets → PQ-only usage
  • ◆ Local PQ signing tool (CLI) to sign and broadcast via standard pipelines
  • ◆ Foundry/Hardhat enablement, with upstream PRs where feasible
  • ◆ Security review/audit scope for verifier + wallet + onboarding flows
M2

Quantum L1 Devnet 1 (PQ consensus baseline)

Done

Simplex with PQ validator signatures. Benchmarks: vote/certificate bytes, WAL/durability impact, notarization/finality distributions.

M3

Quantum L1 Devnet 2 (PQ userland authorization)

PQ transaction type + verifier precompiles. Phase 1 tx format: pubkey included in every tx.
Phase 2 — Hardening
M4

Hedging modes (checkpoint + emergency)

Checkpoint hedging (hash-based signatures only on checkpoints). Emergency mode (dual-sign every consensus message when activated).

M5

AuthDescriptor optimization (optional key registry)

Short-form tx option referencing on-chain key metadata. Benchmarks: state growth vs bandwidth savings.

M6

Threshold certificates

Prototype behind a feature flag. Go/no-go based on interaction cost vs bytes saved and tail-latency impact.
Phase 3 — Connectivity
M7

Entanglement MVP (Quantum ↔ EVM bridge)

LayerZero v2 adapters + bridge cores. PQ boundary enforcement: pending credit → PQ claim().

  • ◆ Required PQ-secured DVN in EVM → Quantum security stacks
  • ◆ End-to-end benchmarks + operational runbooks
Phase 4 — Launch
M8

Public Testnet + audits

Full surface enabled (consensus + PQ userland + Entanglement + supported wallet-layer components). Multiple independent audits.

M9

Mainnet launch + bug bounty + QCN kickoff

Mainnet launch + bug bounty program. QCN begins as a post-launch track (phased, benchmark-gated).
