Roadmap
Where we're going
Ritual’s public testnet is next, with a variety of net-new functionality on its way, with a focus on performance and seamless user experience.
Symphony
- Implementing model and proof sharding for our distributed verification system
- Enhancing consensus mechanisms to improve scalability
- Extending Symphony to support aBFT protocols
- Enhancing network efficiency through data encoding and optimized message distribution
Resonance
- Open-sourcing tooling to make it easier to run brokers
- Adding scheduled and streaming transaction support
- Exploring posted price mechanisms for improved UX
