IOTA Roadmap

Main Objective

Technological maturity

We are updating the current IOTA technology stack to support the demand of real-world applications. These updates will improve the speed and usability of IOTA networks.

Chrysalis

Updated

17 May 2020

IOTA 1.5, the Mainnet’s intermediate stage before Coordicide is complete.

Start: January 2020

End: October 2020

Improve IRI performance

Updated

11 May 2020

Improved node software to allow the network to support increased demand.

Start: September 2019

End: May 2020

Mainnet Rust software prototype

Updated

22 April 2020

A more efficient and modular node software implementation written in Rust to enable users with very limited resources to take part in the IOTA network.

Start: December 2019

End: May 2020

Mainnet Rust node v0.1

Updated

22 April 2020

A minimum implementation of the Rust node software called Bee, allowing you to connect it to other neighbors on the Mainnet. Bee enables users with very limited resources to participate in the IOTA network.

Start: August 2019

End: June 2020

Improved Rust node

Updated

18 December 2019

Bee is a highly-performant node for Mainnet. The next version of Bee introduces an interface for performing binary-to-ternary encodings and adds additional functionality, such as local snapshots.

Start: May 2020

End: July 2020

IOTA Streams

Updated

12 May 2020

IOTA Streams (previously Masked Authenticated Messaging) allows devices of any size to emit and access encrypted data streams. IOTA Streams will be simple to use, and provide important additional functionalities.

Start: August 2019

End: June 2020

Permanode

Updated

12 May 2020

A permanode stores the full history of the Tangle. We are building a production-ready permanode in Rust.

Start: October 2019

End: June 2020

Main Objective

User adoption

We are building new products and features to encourage widespread adoption of IOTA. These tools will help you make the most of the Tangle.

Client Libraries

Updated

12 May 2020

The IOTA client library abstracts the complexity of the IOTA protocol into simple, unified methods.

Start: May 2019

End: August 2020

New Wallet

Updated

12 May 2020

The new wallet will be a step up in IOTA's usability, bringing it on par with consumer-facing apps.

Start: September 2019

End: December 2020

Unified Identity

Updated

12 May 2020

The Unified Identity Protocol implements the proposed standards for DID and Verifiable Credentials to enable an identity for people, organisations and things.

Start: October 2019

End: March 2021

Trinity

Updated

12 May 2020

Trinity is IOTA's official wallet and allows users to manage and purchase IOTA tokens with ease. Trinity is available on all major mobile and desktop platforms.

Start: January 2019

End: December 2019

Spark

Updated

12 May 2020

Spark is an experimental low-security web-based burner wallet for use with small amounts of tokens. Spark has served as a testing bed for some ideas and tools for Trinity v2.

Start: September 2019

End: December 2019

Main Objective

Coordicide

We are developing the components for an improved IOTA network to remove the Coordinator once and for all. These components will make up a new IOTA protocol that is faster, more secure, and future proof.

Coordicide alphanet

Updated

03 February 2020

We are working on launching the first public network to showcase a set of Coordicide features. This is the future of permissionless and scalable distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Start: November 2019

End: July 2020

Incentivized Coordicide testnet

Updated

18 December 2019

A Coordicide testnet with gradual incentivized participation and a bounty system. This will serve as a base for publicly testing Coordicide components and the assumptions made in the Coordicide whitepaper.

Start: July 2020

End: December 2020
