Roadmap
5. Development Roadmap & Network Maturity Phases
Phase 1: Genesis (Q1 2026) — Network Bootstrapping
Objective: Establish minimum viable product (MVP) with centralized coordination layer to validate product-market fit.
Technical Milestones:
Deploy centralized Dispatcher for rapid iteration
Onboard whitelisted provider cohort (50 nodes, hardware-verified)
Launch USDT-only payment rails (zero $NRG dependency)
Implement basic PoI validation (manual adjudication fallback)
Smart Contract Audit by CertiK/SlowMist (Scheduled)
Success Metrics:
1,000 GPU-hours consumed
<5% provider churn rate
99.5% uptime SLA achievement
Phase 2: Growth (Q2-Q3 2026) — Token Launch & Decentralization
Objective: Transition to public network with native token integration and automated economics.
Technical Milestones:
Token Generation Event (TGE): Launch $NRG on Solana with initial DEX liquidity ($500K USDT paired)
Public Beta: Remove provider whitelist, enabling permissionless node onboarding
Staking Dashboard: Deploy web3 interface for collateral management and reward claims
Buyback Activation: Enable automated Treasury operations with $100K seed capital
Tokenomics Initialization:
Initial Circulating Supply: 15% (150M NRG)
Liquidity Provision: 5% (50M NRG + $500K USDT)
Team/Advisors: 20% (vested over 24 months)
Provider Incentives: 40% (emitted over 48 months)
Treasury Reserve: 20% (governance-controlled)
Success Metrics:
500+ active providers
$100K+ monthly protocol revenue
1M+ NRG burned
5,000+ unique consumer wallets
Phase 3: Decentralization (Q4 2026 - Q2 2027) — Trustless Infrastructure
Objective: Achieve full protocol decentralization with on-chain governance and L2 scalability.
Technical Milestones:
Fully On-Chain PoI: Migrate challenge-response validation to smart contracts (zero off-chain dependencies)
Governance DAO Launch: Transition protocol parameters to token-holder control via on-chain voting
Layer 2 Migration: Deploy parallel network on high-throughput L2 (Solana SVM rollup or Eclipse) to reduce transaction costs by 90%
Cross-Chain Bridge: Enable NRG liquidity on Ethereum/Arbitrum for broader DeFi integration
Advanced Features:
Reputation NFTs: Mint soulbound tokens representing provider reliability scores
Compute Futures Market: Enable pre-purchasing of GPU time at locked rates (DeFi primitive)
Insurance Protocol: Community-funded pool compensating consumers for provider failures
Success Metrics:
10,000+ active providers
$10M+ annual protocol revenue
100M+ NRG burned (10% of total supply)
Fully autonomous operation (zero centralized intervention)
