The Roadmap to Launch (and a glimpse beyond)

So here we have it folks. A path to guide us through the final turns of the journey and across what to some might feel like a finish-line, but is the start of a new future.

On top of what our expanding team is working on, you’ll have lots of opportunities to be involved directly in this roadmap—and be rewarded for getting stuck in. Be that by supporting the betas through running a node, or getting involved in the developer programs, hackathons and challenges.

View the Roadmap

We know (and hope) that you will have questions so please do join us on Discord Stages on Tuesday (please see event invite on the top left of discord) and we can chat it through with those in attendance.

It’s time.

Jim

Congratulations @Maidsafe team, this is great to see!

[andreruigrok]

I’m more excited about this roadmap than a kid in a candy store! I can’t wait to see what awaits us on this wild journey towards the end of the year

A BIG THANK YOU TO DAVID AND THE WHOLE TEAM!

[vcp200]

WOW, I’ve been around this forum since 2014, the Roadmap now seems very ambitious. so glad to see this!
Thank you Maidsafe Team!

[StijnC]

I’m very interested to hear about involvement in the early beta phases. I would love to be involved in these beta phases, as I’m sure many here would be.

[Josh]

Nice, very very nice! Not only the roadmap but also the design thereof
2024 is going to be one hell of a year!

You forgot the most important date of all!! Launch Party? Destination… Ibiza? Can I book the villa?

[Joop77]

Wow!! Full disclosure, this is truly a new phase! Best of luck to the whole team, what an ambitious roadmap!
Hang on to your hats people

[BambooGarden]

it’s pretty! i was just expecting a set of bulletpoints… and full of good stuff

especially stoked about the 5 project partnerships. it starts with 2:5 though, what about partnership announcement 1:5?

are we in for a treat, like … now?

[Knosis]

How can we download this?

Bux at Discord : “date wise we will do both partner 1 and 2 in that first column”

Questions & Comments

@JimCollinson some questions…

DNS is back - the design for this would be interesting, or at least to know whether the capabilities are like the original or something more like pet-names as has been suggested.

I hope there will be much more for developers to help them decide what is worth building and to start working with APIs - ideally before they are finalised - rather than that seeming mostly to be in Oct-Nov. Hopefully pre-Hackathon but by then at least?

Can we know if there’s a Browser? Will devs get early access so they can build web apps?

Rewards for community / early public testers is a great touch. People will love that, not least here! Wallet integration partnerships and a Wallet app already being worked on!

EDIT: also…

• no mention of updated Primer?

Note: on hole-punching, the AutoNATv2 PR is nearing completion and may be merged before long. Mainly “smoke-testing” (against the Go version) and a few tweaks but the work appears complete.

Not sure if you want to fix typos:

“nework” on an early slide
“so it suitable” on the overlay that slides over the chart
“block expore to” on an overlay for DAG explorer

I also suggest 2/5 is understood whereas 2:5 is not

[Michael_Hills]

Love it! Great job. Very exciting!

[Lisa_Brown]

Powerpoints give me anxiety! So thanks for laying it out to read so easily!

[Toivo]

@happybeing

Not sure if you want to fix typos:

Adding:

Should the comma be after “internet”, not “decentralized”?

No comma after “network” but maybe before “that”?

May or will need for additional support, but not both:

Otherwise very well done!
