Genesis Candidate Roadmap
The path from research preview to mainnet genesis. ComputeNet is currently in the Research Preview phase, with subsequent phases to be announced as development progresses.
Research Preview
ComputeNet is currently in research preview mode. The network is experimental, non-economic, and focused on protocol development and validation.
Development Roadmap
The roadmap outlines major milestones on the path to mainnet. Specific timelines will be announced as each phase approaches.
Protocol Experimentation
Core protocol research, proof-of-concept implementations, and internal testing.
- Protocol specification drafts
- Whitepaper development
- Initial validator architecture
- Compute receipt proof-of-concept
Open Network Testing
Public testnet deployment for external validator participation and protocol validation.
- Testnet validator onboarding
- Public compute receipt generation
- Consensus testing at scale
- SDK and tooling preview
Operator Guides
Comprehensive documentation for running and maintaining validator infrastructure.
- Hardware setup guides
- Software configuration docs
- Monitoring and alerting
- Security best practices
Code Publication
Full open-source release of validator software and protocol implementations.
- Core protocol open-source
- Validator client release
- SDK stable release
- Developer documentation
Pre-Mainnet Preparation
Final preparation phase before mainnet launch, including security audits and genesis validator coordination.
- Security audit completion
- Genesis validator coordination
- Final protocol parameters
- Network stress testing
Network Launch Readiness
Final readiness assessment and mainnet genesis block preparation.
- Genesis block preparation
- Validator set finalization
- Mainnet deployment
- Decentralized governance activation
Genesis Validator Expectations
While final requirements will be published closer to genesis, the following provides a preview of what genesis validators should expect.
Hardware Expectations
- Modern multi-core CPU
- Adequate RAM for workload execution
- Fast storage (SSD recommended)
- Reliable network connectivity
Final specifications will be published during Public Testnet phase.
Technical Requirements
- Linux server environment
- Static IP address or reliable DNS
- 24/7 operation capability
- Monitoring infrastructure
Detailed setup guides will be provided in documentation.
Participation Requirements
- Testnet participation recommended
- Familiarity with validator operations
- Commitment to network security
- Community engagement
Genesis validator selection criteria will be announced.
