Goal: Following the successful launch of Aleo's mainnet, the focus shifts to scaling, enhancing security, ecosystem development, and enabling rapid zero-knowledge application deployment. Below is a structured technical roadmap to guide Aleo’s growth and development.
Phase 1: Stability and Scalability (Next 6-12 months)
1. Network Optimization and Performance Enhancements
Improve Node Synchronization: Enhance snarkOS to reduce sync times for new nodes.
Scaling Infrastructure: Investigate Layer-2 solutions (rollups, sharding) and introduce horizontal scaling mechanisms to support increasing transaction volumes.
Consensus Refinement: Optimize proof generation mechanisms for higher throughput, energy efficiency, and security.
2. zkSNARKs Performance Tuning
zkSNARKs Proof Efficiency: Work on reducing proof generation and verification times without compromising security.
