Roadmap

Roadmap

Where Byzantium is headed — from the first miners to a fully decentralized, independently verifiable network. We ship in stages, and each stage builds on a system that's already working.

Timeframes below are targets and may shift as we learn.

Stage 1 — Launch the core loop (target: Q3 2026)

We build and open Byzantium to the first wave of miners.

• We build the link service — a fast redirect that logs every click to an append-only ledger.
• We ship one-step signup (claim a link by making a single post) and email magic-link login.
• We build in-house device fingerprinting — canvas, fonts, and device signals on every click to tell real humans from bots.
• We stand up a real-time dashboard so miners see genuine clicks as they land.
• We release an open-source AI agent starter kit on GitHub so miners can promote around the clock from day one.
• We launch the Refer a Miner program so miners earn a share from everyone they bring in.

Stage 2 — Private beta, rewards live (target: Q4 2026)

We harden the system on real traffic — with real ن on the line — before opening the doors wide.

• We invite early miners to run the full loop end to end, earning real rewards from day one.
• We build and run the validator in-house on our already-registered subnet — it reads the click ledger, filters fraud, and scores miners via Yuma Consensus, paid out in ن.
• We tune our fingerprinting thresholds, deduplication, and bot filters against real-world data, and stress-test the redirect and ledger at volume.

Stage 3 — Open to everyone (target: Q1 2027)

We take Byzantium public.

• We open signups beyond the beta cohort — anyone can join and start mining.
• We scale the link service, ledger, and validator to handle open traffic.
• We make payouts in ن claimable straight to any miner's wallet.

Stage 4 — Strengthen the scoring (target: Q1 2027)

We keep raising the bar on fairness.

• We add per-post link tracking and tie counted clicks to each post's real public reach (an engagement cap).
• We cross-check engagement against public platform data — Farcaster's open data and X's public counts.
• We upgrade our in-house fingerprinting and bot-detection models and add click-timing analysis to catch fakes that slip under the cap.

Stage 5 — Decentralize and open up (target: 2027)

We make Byzantium verifiable instead of trusted.

• We publish the click ledger as a signed, append-only record anyone can recompute.
• We open-source the validator so anyone can run one and independently verify every score.
• We add independent checks — including cross-verifying against Farcaster's open data — so no one, including us, has to be taken on trust.

Stage 6 — Scale the swarm (2027 and beyond)

We pursue the full vision.

• We ship more powerful agent tooling for promotion at even greater scale.
• We let brands fund campaigns directly, paying the Byzantium swarm to market their product.
• We expand to more platforms and more ways to earn.
