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 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
- 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 - Android client implementation using 1. also iOS.
https://github.com/cryptoeconomicslab/plasma-android-sdk - 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 - Research universal client for OVM
research generalized layer 2 client
prototyping universal client for OVM
