Roadmap
This Roadmap offers a high-level overview of our forthcoming development plans for $SHDW and shdwDrive v2 powered by D.A.G.G.E.R. It's important to note that features and timelines may evolve as we gain new insights and knowledge. For a more in-depth exploration of the technical intricacies of D.A.G.G.E.R., we encourage you to read the Litepaper. If you want to participate in our testnet by running a shdwNode, please visit our Operator page for instructions.
Testnet Phase 1 (Q3-Q4 2023)
(COMPLETED)
Released initial interactive explorer version with the base set of features
Found and resolved numerous performance bottlenecks with D.A.G.G.E.R. core and D.A.G.G.E.R. Client RPC
Improved memory utilization and efficiency with file uploads and gossip network message processing
Improved multithreading in D.A.G.G.E.R. Client RPC, allowing for much more throughput than initially observed for clients not sending transactions directly to D.A.G.G.E.R. shdwNodes.
Observed a crash event that caused nodes to fall behind and become unable to catch up under specific throughput conditions. Collected metrics & logs and was able to resolve the node crashing scenario
Improved memory management by moving finalized graph history to disk
Collected metrics on >250 million transactions and events (excluding peer-to-peer sync events/voting), allowing for insights into detailed system tuning and improvements for Linux hosts
Observed various network loads up to 4gbps while sustaining 20k transactions per second + file uploads
Improved the D.A.G.G.E.R. node CLI & documentation for node operation
Developed graph history snapshot system
Launched the reference ShdwDrive File Management UI on portal.shdwdrive.com
(IN PROGRESS)
Complete testing the finalized implementation of dynamic node membership
Complete D.A.G.G.E.R. keypair management CLI
Client RPC documentation
(UPCOMING)
Remote node metrics collection system
Typescript keypair SDK
Improved event & state distribution system over p2p network
Additional interactive features for the reference ShdwDrive File Management UI
Testnet Phase 2 (Q1-Q2 2024)
(UPCOMING)
Distribute individual node operator documentation and begin Testnet Phase 2 with decentralized operators
Study and improve individual node operator stability
Improve metrics and logs on network performance and stability of operators
Build out block and graph explorer features
Improve RPC documentation
Add additional RPC methods
Complete epoch testing
Complete snapshot testing
Run adversarial scenario simulations
Address bugs or vulns found during individual node operator testing
ShdwDrive v2 implementation - repair bandwidth management
Fanout data distribution system & other improvements to comms layer/file system operations
ShdwDrive v2 implementation - core feature development and improvements
Testnet Phase 3 (Q2-Q3 2024)
(UPCOMING)
Individual node operators for ShdwDrive v2
Observe usage / logs / etc and make further system tweaks as necessary
Resolve any outstanding bugs or accrued technical debt
Publish an updated version of the Roadmap with subsequent phases and features
