Roadmap

The road to RISCy.

A working plan, not a promise carved in stone -- dates and scope will evolve as we ship. Here's where we are and where we're headed.

  1. Q1 2026 In progress

    Public Testnet

    • ▸ Open testnet with the RISC-V virtual machine live.
    • ▸ Toolchain and SDK for Rust, C, and Zig contract development.
    • ▸ Block explorer, faucet, and developer documentation.
  2. Q2 2026 Planned

    Builder Preview

    • ▸ Stabilized contract ABI and developer APIs.
    • ▸ On-chain oracle framework available on testnet.
    • ▸ Reference applications and example contracts.
    • ▸ Security review and public audit kickoff.
  3. August 21, 2026 Planned

    Fork & Mainnet Launch

    • ▸ Network fork at the scheduled block.
    • ▸ Mainnet goes live with the RISC-V VM.
    • ▸ Blind merged mining active -- proof-of-work security from day one.
    • ▸ Builder fee-payout program enabled.
  4. Q4 2026 Planned

    Ecosystem Growth

    • ▸ Native asset issuance and tooling maturity.
    • ▸ Expanded oracle feeds and data providers.
    • ▸ Grants and the up-to-70% builder revenue share at scale.
    • ▸ Sustained 60,000+ TPS under real-world load.
  5. 2027 Planned

    Blitz Hardware Release

    • ▸ Blitz hardware rollout pushes throughput past 100,000 TPS.
    • ▸ Further latency and finality optimizations.
    • ▸ Scaling research toward consumer-scale, global applications.

This roadmap is a living document and subject to change.
