15 shipped · 2 in progress · 3 queued · 20 tracked milestones

Consensus & Wasmi Smart Contracts

  • Hybrid PoW + GHOSTDAG Consensus

    Shipped

    Hybrid Proof-of-Work block admission with GHOSTDAG graph ordering (4s target block interval, GHOSTDAG k=5, KovanicaHash PoW; no stake in consensus).

    Native PoW admission and GHOSTDAG topological sorting.

  • Account-Based Ledger & PRO-21 Addresses

    Shipped

    Account-based state model with sequence nonces and canonical PRO-21 addresses (64 chars: kvnc + 57 base32 + dag).

    BLAKE3 KUNA-TX-v1 compatibility sighashes signed client-side with Ed25519 keys.

  • Wasmi Deterministic Execution Runtime

    Shipped

    Sandboxed WebAssembly runtime for deterministic smart contract execution, gas metering, and host storage interop.

  • Multisig Contract (kovanica-multisig)

    Shipped

    M-of-N threshold multi-signature Wasmi smart contract supporting partial signature aggregation and activation gating.

  • HTLC Atomic Swaps (kovanica-htlc)

    Shipped

    Hashed time-locked Wasmi smart contract for trustless cross-chain atomic swaps and conditional escrow release.

  • Time-Lock Vaults & Vesting (kovanica-vault)

    Shipped

    Deterministic time-lock vault contract supporting linear treasury vesting schedules and revocable time locks.

  • Fungible Token Standard (kovanica-token)

    Shipped

    CW20-style deterministic WASM token contract with minting, transfers, allowances, and burn capabilities.

Client Applications & Explorer

  • BlockDAG Explorer

    Shipped

    Interactive DAG canvas ordered by GHOSTDAG K=5, zoom and pan controls, and truthful live network telemetry.

  • Web Wallet & Signer

    Shipped

    Client-side wallet supporting BIP-39 mnemonic derivation, PRO-21 address generation, and in-browser transaction signing.

  • Testnet Faucet

    Shipped

    Automated testnet faucet dispensing 10 KVNC with rate limiting and canonical PRO-21 address verification.

  • Node CLI & Tooling (kovanica-cli)

    Shipped

    Full command-line toolkit for node administration, key generation, RPC inspection, and genesis orchestration.

SDK & Developer Tooling

  • Rust Workspace Crates

    Shipped

    27 modular crates: kovanica-types, kovanica-crypto, kovanica-dag, kovanica-consensus, kovanica-mempool, kovanica-network, kovanica-runtime, kovanica-staking, kovanica-node, kovanica-rpc.

  • TypeScript SDK Packages

    Shipped

    Modular client libraries: @kovanica/api-client, @kovanica/signer, @kovanica/console, and @kovanica/web.

  • WASM In-Browser Engine

    Shipped

    Wasm-bindgen client engine for in-browser transaction preparation, BLAKE3 sighash derivation, and zero-knowledge seed protection.

  • JSON-RPC 2.0 Interface

    Shipped

    Node-parity RPC endpoints for syncStatus, getLeaderHeader, getBalance, getNonce, sendRawTransaction, and DAG inspection.

Next Focus Areas (Mainnet Roadmap)

  • Chain 5 Hybrid Testnet & KovanicaHash Audit

    In progress

    Deployment and hardening of Chain 5 hybrid PoW + GHOSTDAG testnet, KovanicaHash audit sign-off, and solo miner tooling.

  • P2P Network & State Snapshot Hardening

    In progress

    Fast snapshot sync, DAG block payload pruning, multi-seed peer discovery, and catch-up validation under network turbulence.

  • Contract UX & Typed ABI Pipeline

    Up next

    Typed ABI code-generation, extended Wasmi gas metering tables, and streamlined contract deployment workflows.

  • Observability & Real-Time Indexer Hooks

    Up next

    Committed subdag execution hooks, Prometheus metrics, structured tracing, and WebSocket event feeds.

  • Mainnet Launch Readiness

    Up next

    Public launch planned for 1.1.2027 following hybrid testnet milestones and security audit sign-off (90.2M KVNC cap, 81M mining subsidy budget, 8.1M block halving eras with × 3/4 decay).

Consensus: Hybrid PoW + GHOSTDAG (target block 4 s, GHOSTDAG K = 5, KovanicaHash PoW; no stake).

Execution: Deterministic Wasmi WebAssembly runtime.

Tokenomics: Native token KVNC (9 decimals, 90,200,000 hard cap, 81M mining subsidy budget, 2.5 KVNC initial block reward).
