The pNetwork Community Association is proud to share its proposed pNetwork Roadmap for 2023!
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:
- Decentralization - via pNetwork v3
- Community-driven approach - via pNetwork DAO v2
- Further interoperability - via new cross-chain features and new integrations
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, in 2023 pNetwork v3 will focus on decentralization.
pNetwork DAO v2
The pNetwork DAO is of vital importance for the decentralization of the protocol.
The DAO v2 will 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 in 2023 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.
Q1 2023
- pNetwork v3 - First steps
Publish the pNetwork v3 whitepaper - DONE
Modelling the architecture: decentralized, optimistic swap proposals and multi-provers
Definition of new actors and their roles
Start work on all the new components for the MVP
- pNetwork DAO v2 - BETA Release
Launch of the new DAO dApp in a fully decentralized manner (ENS + IPFS) - DONE
Functionality to easily open DAO proposals straight from the DAO dApp - DONE
New PNT lending-borrowing mechanism within the DAO
Lock period management for lenders
Option to become a node with borrowed PNT
Node registration within the new DAO dApp
Release BETA - first launch
- pTokens dApp
Q2 2023
- pNetwork v3 - MVP
Complete activities on MVP components
MVP launch - with limited functionalities on a new, decentralized bridge
- pNetwork DAO v2 - Full Release
Epochs automatic closing and reopening
Node protocol rewards automatic distribution
DAO dApp improvements
Q3 2023
- pNetwork v3 - BETA Release
Continue the work on components
Improve the system, based on experience gained on the MVP release
Update of MVP bridges to BETA
Add more node operators/actors on the BETA v3 bridge(s)
- pNetwork DAO - Further features
Multi-chain support
Q4 2023
- pNetwork v3 - Full Release
Gradually upgrading all bridges from v2 to v3
Non-upgraded/upgradable v1 and v2 bridges get shut down
Continuous activities
- Improve security/audit coverage
- Improve monitoring systems for v3 actors
- Add/improve users’ insurance coverage options
- Looking for external funds and strategies to replenish the DAO treasury
- Further integrations to boost volumes and adoption
