Kindelia's development will follow a 4-phases roadmap.
Kindelia's paper and client prototype will be developed, including:
-
A Proof-of-Work network, for consensus.
-
A 128-bit version of the High-Order Virtual Machine (HVM), for computation.
-
Reversible HVM heap snapshots, for statefulness.
-
Kindelia's network and client prototype will be heavily tested.
-
Kindelia Foundation's Initial Name Offering (INO) will take place on Ethereum's network.
-
Mainnet parameters will be tested, defined and adjusted.
-
Kindelia's Genesis Block (block #0) will be mined. On it:
-
Primitive utilities like tuples will be deployed.
-
Kindelia's empty namespace will be registered by the Kindelia Foundation.
-
The namespaces purchased on the INO will be granted to its owners.
-
Kindelia Genesis Token (KGT) will be deployed.
KGT will work exactly like Bitcoin (BTC), including halvings and no premine.
-
-
Users will deploy and use the first apps of the network.
-
The Kindelia Foundation will mine and distribute tokens via grants and airdrops.
-
Downtimes, patches and parameter changes are expected to occur.
-
The network will be considered stable and no more patches should be expected.
-
Kindelia will host a constellation of hack-proof apps with minimal fees and infinite uptime.
-
The Kindelia Foundation will no longer maintain the network. It will focus on:
-
Improving the HVM
-
Improving Kind-Lang
-
Researching layer 2 scalability solutions
-
Developing ecosystem applications
-
Giving community grants
-
-
Community-driven forks to adjust parameters (like the mana limit) may still occur.
Kindelia was created to be maintenance-free, which, by design, happens when you try to get rid of the privileged class of "core developers" or "owner foundation" who are inevitably in a position of power, which is the only way to achieve true decentralization. With that in mind, the Kindelia Foundation aims to fulfill a supportive role, promoting the growth of the network and the applications that live inside the blockchain, while also researching related technologies. Note that this does not mean that the Kindelia Foundation will deliberately stop working on Kindelia. Quite the opposite: It, Its Founders and Developers, are and always will be fully committed to trying to keep this network healthy and functional, including myself (Taelin). What it means is that, if all goes as planned, this role will never be needed.
