Development Roadmap

The development of Verdant Privacy follows a phased execution strategy. We prioritize security and stability over speed. Our roadmap is designed to incrementally introduce complexity, ensuring that the core "Split and Route" logic is battle-tested before additional obfuscation layers are deployed.

Phase 1: v0.1 - The Genesis Testnet (Current)

Status: Live

This phase marks the initial public release of the Verdant Protocol on the Solana Devnet. The focus is on functionality and user interface stability.

• Core Protocol Deployment: Launch of the Identity Manager and Shard Generation smart contracts.

• Basic Split Engine: Implementation of the mathematical logic to fragment transaction values.

• Shadow Node Alpha: Deployment of the first generation of hosted relay nodes to process intents.

• DApp Launch: Release of the "Command Center" dashboard for public testing.

Phase 2: v0.2 - Adaptive Routing

Status: In Development

The second phase focuses on enhancing the intelligence of the routing engine. We move from simple randomization to calculated pathfinding.

• Dynamic Latency: Introduction of variable time delays based on network congestion levels.

• Multi-Hop Routing: Enabling shards to pass funds through intermediate shards before reaching the final destination.

• Slippage Controls: Advanced settings allowing users to define maximum cost thresholds for privacy routes.

Phase 3: v0.3 - The Fog Layer

Status: Planned

This phase introduces network-level obfuscation to defeat metadata analysis.

• Chaff Traffic Generation: Automated system for creating non-economic "noise" transactions.

• Behavioral Masking: Algorithms that mimic organic user activity (sleeping during low-volume hours, bursting during high-volume hours).

• Encrypted State: Upgrading the client-side storage to support stronger encryption for local persona data.

Phase 4: v1.0 - Mainnet Launch

Status: Planned

The official release of Verdant Privacy on the Solana Mainnet.

• Security Audits: Completion of third-party code audits by top-tier security firms.

• Governance Token Generation: Launch of the protocol token to decentralize the Shadow Node network.

• Shadow Node Decentralization: Allowing the community to run their own relay nodes.

• Mainnet Deployment: Full protocol availability for real-asset transactions.
