Path to Credibility
A 5-month plan to earn the credentials that build trust, audits, decentralization, mainnet, and transparency.
Targets, not guarantees. Milestones are plans; audit results are published only when complete. Adoption and a long-term track record build beyond month 5.
Target Audits
2 independent
Target Validators
5-10 independent
Bug Bounty
Public
Mainnet Target
Month 5
01.Security Foundation
Month1
In progress
Deliverables
- Publish cryptography spec and threat model
- Open-source the core repositories
- Engage a reputable third-party auditor (scope and timeline)
- Launch a public bug-bounty program
02.Audit & Hardening
Month2
Planned
Deliverables
- Security audit planned
- Remediate findings and harden the testnet
- Publish validator onboarding documentation
- Recruit independent validator operators
03.Decentralization
Month3
Planned
Deliverables
- Launch an incentivized public testnet
- Grow to 5-10 independent validators across regions
- Publish decentralization metrics (operators, regions, stake)
- Publish the first audit report
04.Mainnet Readiness
Month4
Planned
Deliverables
- Re-audit the remediated code
- Finalize economic parameters
- Ship SDK and developer documentation
- Open an ecosystem grants program
05.Mainnet & Transparency
Month5
Planned
Deliverables
- Mainnet genesis with a decentralized validator set
- Scale the bug-bounty rewards
- Launch a live transparency dashboard (audits, validators, uptime)
- Begin the public security track record
06.What 5 Months Can and Cannot Earn
Earnable in 5 months: a completed third-party audit, a live bug bounty, a decentralized validator set, a real mainnet launch, and public transparency.
Not compressible: a multi-year attack-free track record and deep market adoption, these are earned with time after mainnet, not before it.
