Roadmap
Work runs on parallel tracks. The current testnet delivers a verifiable core: a public Substrate L1, faucet-issued test KNX, three workload subnets (drone navigation, roboarm VLA, SLAM 3D map) with end-to-end task submission, miner competition, validator scoring, and onchain PoPW-related records, plus reference miners and validators in open source.
Mainnet and full economic features are staged so readers can see what is live versus what is sequenced. Whitepaper components map to the phases below.
For deploy status, treat the block explorer and official release notes as the source of truth for a running network.
Testnet (current direction)
In scope: Public chain, faucet, three subnets as above, PoPW-backed task flow, published binaries.
Not implied to be complete against the full whitepaper: mainnet stablecoin settlement at scale, full dual-staking in production for every role, mesh transport as the default for all robots, and a mature inter-robot contract marketplace. Those are later phases.
Phase 1 — mainnet economics and enterprise settlement
Stablecoin layer
Escrow, payouts, and penalties in stablecoins; fiat-peg UX for tasks and SLAs
Enterprises budget without holding volatile tokens for day-to-day work
Dual stake
KNX for consensus security; stablecoin assurance for settlement-layer faults; governance-tuned parameters
Compensation paths for provable settlement errors
Registries and contracts
Hardened task registry, identity, and payout routers per protocol architecture
B2B integrations and composability
Phase 2 — scale-out and physical fabric
Mesh transport
libp2p-style participation for edge robots without a single cloud choke point
Broader geographic and tactical reach
Robot-to-robot contracts
Onchain hiring between machines with stablecoin deposits and enforcement
Fleets that contract with each other with minimal human ops
Cross-chain and ramps
Approved bridges and optional fiat/crypto ramps
Liquidity and invoicing options for operators
Cross-cutting tracks (ongoing)
Migration — Commercial pilots moving from offchain telemetry to onchain PoPW.
Revenue — Programmatic billing tied to verified usage.
Builder — SDKs and APIs (SDK); tooling for new workload classes.
Enterprise — SLA-grade RPC, reliability, identity and compliance options.
Research — RL / VLA pipelines and lab partnerships (see decentralized AI ecosystem).
Staged narrative
The path from simulators and pilots to a broad global ledger is deliberate: physical autonomy must prove itself at every step. The public testnet is the first onramp for anyone to post a real task and inspect onchain activity in minutes — see release notes and the testnet explorer.
