# Road Map 2019-2020

This document is discribing the development roadmap of Plasma Chamber, Cryptoeconomics Lab's Plapps Development Framework. The roadmap includes milestones consisting of each month's **expected implementation tasks** and **deriverables** until testnet launch and mainnet launch.

* We will make [Github project board](https://github.com/orgs/cryptoeconomicslab/projects) for each month

# Our Goal

* Build usable middlewares and applications on layer 2 to produce realworld use case of public blockchain.
* Share development techniques of layer 2 apps combined as a framework to the world.
* developers = users -> define the contract updtates by theireselves without deployment
* Build the universal client for layer 2.

## Summary of our roadmap

1. Rust implementation for generalized plasma spec
This includes operator and client. We are aimig for an interoperable, transparent sdk.
https://github.com/cryptoeconomicslab/plasma-rust-framework
2. Android client implementation using 1. also iOS.
https://github.com/cryptoeconomicslab/plasma-android-sdk
3. Research potential applications for OVM
Categorize usecases
FF predicate, Payment channel, Multi-hop payment, Dex, Lending, Checkpoint…etc
https://github.com/cryptoeconomicslab/plasma-predicates
development tools for OVM
4. Research universal client for OVM
research generalized layer 2 client
prototyping universal client for OVM
