Roadmap

Development milestones and future work

Current Stage

We are actively collecting and verifying proof submissions from validators who have lost access to their mnemonics. The verification infrastructure is operational, and the community review process is underway.

30+
Verified Submissions
98%
Verification Success Rate
~2 Years
Estimated Until PQ Fork

Development Timeline

Phase 1: Foundation

Completed
  • Define message schema and signature format
  • Develop CLI proof generation tool
  • Set up GitHub registry repository
  • Launch community dashboard

Phase 2: Data Collection

In Progress
  • Collect proof submissions from validators
  • Implement automated verification scripts
  • Build community review process
  • Reach 100 verified submissions

Phase 3: Standardization

Planned
  • Finalize message format specification
  • Conduct security audit of verification logic
  • Publish comprehensive documentation
  • Present findings to client dev teams

Phase 4: Simulation

Planned
  • Deploy test environment on devnet
  • Simulate PQ transition with confirmed lost validators
  • Test balance recovery mechanisms
  • Document edge cases and failure modes

Phase 5: EIP Development

Planned
  • Draft Ethereum Improvement Proposal
  • Gather community feedback on EIP
  • Coordinate with client implementation teams
  • Refine specification based on review

Phase 6: Fork Integration

Future
  • Include verified recovery in PQ hard fork
  • Deploy to testnet for validation
  • Conduct final security review
  • Mainnet activation

Next Major Milestones

Q2 2025: Message Format Finalization

Complete standardization of the proof message schema and signature format. Conduct thorough security audit of verification logic.

Q3 2025: Devnet Simulation

Deploy test environment to simulate the post-quantum transition with confirmed lost validator recovery mechanisms.

Q4 2025: EIP Draft Publication

Publish formal Ethereum Improvement Proposal incorporating findings and proposing integration with PQ hard fork.

2026-2027: Fork Integration

Coordinate with client teams for implementation. Test on public testnets before mainnet activation.
