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.
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.
