Roadmap
Here we outline the network's progression from the initial launch on OPStack to future developments. Key Milestones include the successful deployment of the Devnet, Public Testnet, Ongoing Accelerator program to expand ecosystem development and the upcoming release of Node Licences to promote decentralisation and increase network participation.
As the network evolves, future updates will focus on expanding ecosystem integrations, introducing validators, and enhancing security through advanced research and technology like Zero-Knowledge compression. This roadmap reflects StratoVM's commitment to pioneering DeFi on Bitcoin with a strong focus on scalability and security.
