ROADMAP
Nine phases, in order.
Ordered, not scheduled. Phase 1 can be checked against public artifacts; the rest are intentions.
LEGEND · STATUS VOCABULARY
What the badges mean
Five states, one of them deliberately unused. Status is carried by dot and border, never by colour.
- Livelive
- Running on mainnet. Reserved; nothing carries it yet.
- Testnettestnet
- On the public testnet.
- In developmentIn development
- Code exists, not public.
- Plannedplanned
- Specified, on the roadmap.
- Researchresearch
- Open problem, no committed design.
THE TIMELINE
One phase delivered, eight ahead
Phase 1 takes the space its evidence earns. The other eight are compact because a plan has less to show than a shipped thing.
Phase 01 · Network Foundation · six of seven deliverables runningtestnet
The wallet carries no badge because it does not exist. It stays in the list: an unmarked item among six marked ones is the only honest way to show where the phase is incomplete.

WHAT REMAINS IN PHASE 1
What remains in Phase 1
Two things. There is no wallet, and mainnet has not launched. The network runs on the testnet at chain ID 5768; mainnet has chain ID 5769 and no blocks.
Mainnet is not one of the phase's seven deliverables, so it is not listed as one. It is stated here because the phase's goal — a reliable decentralized settlement layer — is not met until it happens.
