The pNetwork Community Association is proud to share its proposed pNetwork Roadmap!
The pNetwork Community Association aims to contribute to the development and growth of pNetwork and is vocal of pNetwork’s and PNT's long-term supporters.
The vision of the Association is to make pNetwork more decentralized, with a more inclusive and transparent approach. The roadmap is aligned with this vision and it is based on three main pillars:
  1. Decentralization - via pNetwork v3
  1. Community-driven approach - via the new pNetwork DAO
  1. Further interoperability - via new cross-chain features and new integrations
 
The pNetwork Association has also recently launched Multiproof Labs.
Multiproof Labs marks a significant expansion for pNetwork, reflecting our commitment to leading innovation in cross-chain interoperability. Multiproof Labs is designed to address the complex challenges of ensuring the integrity and state of one blockchain across others. This initiative aims to bring to market light clients secured by different provers, zero-knowledge proofing technologies and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). These tools have been chosen to facilitate accurate and secure verification of blockchain states, which is essential for enhancing interoperability across diverse blockchain ecosystems.
 
Anyone can join the association, you can apply here.
 

pNetwork v3

pNetwork v3 is a new proposed architecture for pNetwork, which will make the protocol truly decentralized and more secure overall - the system is safe as long as there is at least 1 honest participant.
In 2022 pNetwork v2 focused on scalability, from 2023 pNetwork v3 focus on decentralization.
 

New pNetwork DAO

The pNetwork DAO is of vital importance for the decentralization of the protocol.
The new DAO has unleash new features, an enhanced $PNT tokenomics, better accessibility for nodes and much more, with the intent to make pNetwork truly community-driven.
 

The detailed activities and milestones we intend to achieve are listed below by quarters.
Depending on the progress of work, and when more knowledge becomes available, more details will be added to the Roadmap.

Roadmap

 

2024

pNetwork is currently undergoing a pivotal phase in its development, that we have called pNetwork Unchained. We are actively discussing a new roadmap that will soon be proposed to our community for feedback and approval. This roadmap is designed to guide us through the next stages of our growth and innovation. The two fundamental pillars of this strategic plan will remain pNetwork v3 and Multiproof Labs.
pNetwork v3 will continue to advance our core infrastructure, aiming for enhanced decentralization and efficiency in our operations. Simultaneously, Multiproof Labs will push the boundaries of blockchain technology, focusing on developing and implementing state-of-the-art solutions that ensure the verification and integrity of blockchain states across different platforms.
These twin pillars are crucial as they represent our commitment to both strengthening our existing capabilities and exploring new technological frontiers. By engaging our community in this roadmap discussion, we aim to ensure that our future direction aligns with the needs and expectations of our users, thereby fostering a more robust and dynamic pNetwork ecosystem.
