RSS3 is currently at an early stage. Though an exact trajectory cannot be planned beforehand, we have the following stages guiding the development of the project. Also, you can always take a look at the technical roadmap here:
.
Stage 1 (2022 Q1)
Standard: Come up with the RSS3 Standard
Pre-Node: Pre-nodes are introduced in the early stage, which will be temporarily run by the team.
Whitepaper: Whitepaper is released, describing how this new type of decentralized network will be constructed
Demo: Demo apps including Web3 Pass and Revery are developed with initial user tractions
Governance
Ecosystem: Basic developer docs are ready with at least 10 ecosystem applications
Stage 2 (2022 Q4)
Standard: Continuous development of the RSS3 Standard
Node: Release the decentralized nodes running the testnet, allowing external participants to be elected and stake $RSS3 as SN and GI operators
Ecosystem: Hackathons will be planned and an ecosystem fund will be established
Governance: Gradually bring more decisions to the DAO, where token holders would make collective decisions
Crossbell: An Ethereum side chain will be introduced, specifically working for RSS3-related activities
Stage 3 (2023 Q4)
Standard: Continuous development of the RSS3 Standard
Node: Stable and decentralized nodes running the mainnet with the DAO overseeing all their operations
Ecosystem: Different applications and middleware will be built with the ecosystem collective becoming the backbone for decentralized information distribution
Governance: All decision-making will be conducted by the DAO through an automatic voting procedure
