# Roadmap

The development and deployment of Anubis is a phased, iterative evolution process. Our roadmap aims to balance the speed of technological innovation with system stability, ensuring that thorough security audits and ecosystem building are completed before the mainnet launch.

#### Phase 1: Infrastructure and Prototype

* Core cryptography library development\
  Completed the development of a high-performance elliptic curve library based on Rust (supporting BN254, BLS12-381) and a Pedersen commitment library.
* EVM compatibility layer implementation\
  Based on the go-ethereum client, the privacy pre-compiled contract interface was successfully integrated and passed the compatibility test of the Ethereum standard test suite, ensuring seamless integration with existing toolchains (Metamask, Hardhat).
* Circuit design and preliminary verification\
  Complete the design of the core transfer circuit and tree update circuit, and conduct preliminary unit testing.
* Devnet startup\
  Launch an internal developer testnet that supports basic privacy transfers and simple contract interactions.

#### Phase 2: Feature Improvement and Testnet

* Privacy-precompiled contracts fully implemented\
  Completed efficient implementations of all precompiled contracts such as VERIFY\_PROOF, STEALTH\_ADDRESS, and ENCRYPT\_NOTE, and optimized ZK verification costs to below 50k Gas.
* Mobile proof optimization\
  Release a lightweight proof generation SDK that supports mobile devices, integrates delegated proof functionality, and achieves a mobile proof time of <10 seconds.
* Incentivized Testnet ("Osiris")\
  Launch the public testnet "Osiris" and invite validators worldwide to participate. Initiate the "Bug Bounty" program, focusing on rewarding white-hat hackers who discover privacy breaches, double-spending vulnerabilities, and missing circuit constraints.
* Developer toolchain\
  Released the Anubis Hardhat Plugin and Anubis Foundry, enabling developers to write and deploy privacy applications using familiar tools. Released the official version of the Anubis.js SDK, providing advanced privacy interfaces.

#### Phase 3: Ecological Construction and Auditing

* Deployment of core DeFi protocols\
  The official team led the development and deployment of the first privacy DEX (Anubis Swap) and privacy lending protocol (Anubis Lend) as a reference implementation for the ecosystem, demonstrating the practical application of selective privacy.
* Third-party security audit\
  Hire at least three top security firms (such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, and ConsenSys Diligence) to conduct a comprehensive audit of the core circuitry, pre-compiled contracts, and consensus code, and publish the audit reports.
* Trusted setup ceremony\
  Although PLONK uses a generic SRS, if a specific optimization requires a specific circuit setup, a global multi-party ceremony (MPC) will be initiated to ensure the security of parameter generation. As long as one participant is honest, the system is secure.
* Compliance framework pilot\
  Collaborate with selected compliance partners (such as Chainalysis and Elliptic) to test compliance workflows for view key integration and verify the feasibility of the ZK-KYC scheme.

#### Phase 4: Mainnet Launch

* Genesis Block Launch\
  After ensuring the testnet runs stably for at least 3 months without any major vulnerabilities, the Anubis mainnet will be officially launched.
* Token Generation Event (TGE)\
  Issue ANB tokens and enable staking and governance features.
* Official cross-chain bridge\
  Deploy a decentralized cross-chain bridge connecting to the Ethereum mainnet, supporting privacy migration of mainstream assets such as ETH, USDC, and WBTC.
* Governance module started\
  The protocol management authority was transferred to Anubis DAO, and the community began to vote on protocol parameters (such as gas fees and privacy pool limits).

#### Phase 5: Continuous Evolution

* Performance optimization\
  We introduce hardware-accelerated (FPGA/GPU) proof generation services to further reduce latency. We explore parallel EVM execution to improve TPS.
* Quantum security upgrade research\
  Initiate research into post-quantum cryptography (such as STARKs, Lattice-based ZK) to prepare for future attacks against quantum computers.
* Layer 3 Extension\
  Supports Anubis-based privacy rollups (Layer 3), providing customized privacy spaces and higher throughput for specific applications such as privacy games and enterprise finance.
* Fully decentralized sorter\
  Gradually replace any existing auxiliary sorting services to achieve a fully censorship-resistant network layer.
