Roadmap

Chipcoin Roadmap

This roadmap summarizes the current public state of Chipcoin and the next visible product steps that fit the existing public services. It avoids dates, avoids hype, and stays aligned with what is already live now on testnet.

Shipped

Visible product work that is already public.

Public testnet stack

Live public testnet with full node, external miner, browser wallet, explorer access, and technical documentation.

Node Rewards

Native on-chain reward system for verified nodes with registration, warmup, renewal, verifier attestations, and epoch settlement.

Reward-node automation

Auto-renew, auto-attest, bundle inclusion, and epoch settlement are part of the current public testnet path.

Snapshot bootstrap

Trusted snapshot import is part of the practical bootstrap path for new nodes and operational recovery.

Node wizard path

The public site now points users toward wizard-assisted testnet node setup before wallet and faucet testing.

Wallet and faucet path

Browser wallet, testnet faucet, and explorer are connected into one public testing path.

Technical docs

Technical documentation now covers current public services, reward-node flow, and snapshot bootstrap at a high level.

Public explanation layer

Whitepaper, architecture notes, and live testnet stats now make the current public state easier to inspect without internal operator context.

In Progress

Work currently focused on explaining the live stack more clearly.

Node reward documentation

Expanding the public explanation of registration, renewal, attestation, settlement, and payout visibility.

Internal linking

Stronger connections between protocol, node setup, Node Rewards, wallet, faucet, docs, and explorer pages.

Operator-facing clarity

Improving public-facing explanations of snapshot bootstrap, reward history, and the current live testnet environment.

Post-quantum research clarity

Documenting the experimental CHCQ and ML-DSA-44 path with clear testnet/devnet limits and no unaudited production claims.

Open Post-Quantum

Planned

Realistic next improvements to the public product surface.

Deeper docs coverage

Broader page coverage where it adds real explanatory value around node participation, rewards, and bootstrap workflow.

Metadata refinement

Further tightening of titles, descriptions, and page structure for clarity and search usefulness.

Onboarding polish

More concise guidance between node setup, wallet setup, faucet testing, explorer verification, reward-node explanation, and technical docs.

Developer resources

Public API and CLI reference for users moving from site pages into repositories, wallet integration, and local node workflows.

Open Developer

Post-quantum test vectors

Frozen vectors, KAT coverage, CLI CHCQ spend testing, mempool hardening, and browser wallet PQ support only after stronger interop.

Future Considerations

Possible next areas if the public services continue to expand.

Additional explainer pages

Dedicated public pages for more protocol topics only when they have enough distinct content to justify them.

Expanded onboarding

More guided user and developer flows if the public product surface grows beyond the current pages.

Reliability-focused improvements

Further public-facing improvements to make current services easier to understand, bootstrap, and operate consistently.

Use the public pages according to their current role.

The roadmap is most useful when read alongside the protocol overview, the Node Rewards page, the post-quantum research page, the wallet path, and the technical docs.
