Roadmap

N1's roadmap increases decentralization step by step while preserving dedicated compute and low-latency app UX.

Roadmap​

v0 - Proton launch​

Status: live. A curated operator runs high-performance apps, streams deposits from Solana, builds actions into blocks, and commits those blocks to the Bridge contract. Validators can halt withdrawals if they detect an inconsistent or malicious update.

v0.5 - Jito-secured shared security​

Status: in progress. Proton connects to Jito's NCN restaking system so Operators, Vaults, and NCNs can opt into shared security with slashable stake guarding state transitions.

v1 - Native validator network​

Status: planned. N1 validators take over the full settlement stack: data availability, block certification, reward routing, bridging, and staking all move into the protocol.

At every stage, the dedicated-compute model remains intact. Each phase lowers trust in a curated operator without forcing developers to give up the performance ceiling that makes N1 useful.

What changes over time​

  • More parties can operate and verify the system.
  • Data availability responsibilities move closer to the N1 validator set.
  • Proof verification and rewards become protocol-native.
  • Apps keep their own execution environments and can adopt the security model that fits their risk profile.
