Roadmap

🗺️ OpNode Roadmap

Mission: Democratize high-performance compute access through decentralized GPU infrastructure.
OpNode’s roadmap charts a clear evolution — from core infrastructure to global-scale network effects.

✅ Phase I – Core Infrastructure & Testnet Launch

📆 Q1–Q2 2025
Goal: Establish the foundation of OpNode’s decentralized compute marketplace and onboard early contributors.

Milestones:

• 🧠 MVP GPU Orchestrator built and containerized

• ⚙️ Node registration + provider identity management (off-chain + on-chain handshake)

• 🧪 Internal Testnet deployed for job lifecycle validation

• 🧾 Smart Contract v0.1 — Task management, Escrow system, Staking logic

• 💻 Early Partner Onboarding (data centers, bare-metal hosts, miners)

• 🔒 Security Audit Initiated (Trail of Bits / Spearbit – TBD)

• 🌱 Community Dev Ambassador Program launched

• 📘 GitBook Docs v0.1 — internal dev & provider onboarding

🚧 Phase II – Mainnet Alpha & Token Launch

📆 Q3–Q4 2025
Goal: Launch $OPNODE, decentralize resource access, and activate ecosystem incentives.

Milestones:

• 🚀 $OPNODE Token Launch (ERC-20 on L2 — Arbitrum or Base)

• 🥩 Public Staking Live (Providers + Delegators)

• ⚖️ Smart Contracts v1 audited & deployed

• 🧾 Governance DAO Setup (Snapshot + Multisig)

• 🛠 Job Marketplace UI/UX released

• 🌉 Cross-Chain Bridge Integration (Axelar / Wormhole / LayerZero)

• 🧰 SDK & API Kit v1 for provider integration

• 🧪 Mainnet Alpha Launch with curated providers

• 🔁 Task Validation Oracle Network v0.1

• 🎁 Genesis Incentives:

  • Task miner rewards

  • LP yield farming

  • Contributor airdrops

🔁 Phase III – Decentralization & Ecosystem Growth

📆 Q1–Q2 2026
Goal: Transition OpNode into a permissionless, self-sustaining, and fully decentralized network.

Milestones:

• 🌐 Permissionless Provider Onboarding

• 🧩 Modular Verification (zkML / MPC)

• 💼 B2B Dashboard for AI/ML workloads

• 🧬 DAO Voting on fees, emissions, slashing rules

• 📉 Liquid Staking (stOPNODE) integrations

• 💻 GPU Marketplace v2 — job auto-splitting + multitenancy

• 📦 Multi-Framework Templates (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Blender)

• 🪂 Community Grants + Hackathons

• 🧠 Reputation Engine v2 — on-chain + off-chain analytics

• 🔁 DAO-Run Provider Score Registry

🌍 Phase IV – Global Expansion & AI/DePIN Integrations

📆 Q3 2026–2027
Goal: Position OpNode as the go-to decentralized compute backend for AI, DePIN, and Web3 infrastructure.

Milestones:

• 🤝 Integrations with DePIN Networks (Akash, Render)

• 🧠 Partnerships with AI Chains (Bittensor, Gensyn, Ritual)

• ⚙️ Compute-as-a-Primitive tooling for LLMs, game engines, render farms

• 🌐 Regional Alliances (Africa, LatAm, SEA) for idle GPU onboarding

• 🔐 zk-Compute Verification for confidential workloads

• 🧾 Stablecoin Billing Layer (USDC / DAI via LayerZero)

• 📱 Mobile App for workload monitoring + stake management

• 💥 DAO v2: Treasury proposals, quadratic voting, advanced governance

🧩 Continuous Objectives (Across All Phases)

• 🔍 Security Audits & Bounty Programs

• 🎨 Web3-Native UX & Branding Enhancements

• 📚 Developer Education + Docs Scaling

• 🧑‍🎤 Influencer & Technical Content Ecosystem

• 📈 Token Analytics Dashboards (Dune, Flipside, Custom Explorers)

📌 Next Milestone

🚀 Mainnet Alpha Launch + Public Token Launch
🎯 Target: Q3 2025
