Roadmap
What shipped, what is next
Protocol changes go through governance, so dates for work in progress depend on the vote. Every item links back to its proposal once one exists.
2025 – Q3 2026
Shipped
Harbour: parallel execution
Independent transactions execute in parallel; fee lanes for busy programs.
14-day unbonding
Shorter withdrawal time, with evidence windows kept intact.
Second validator client
keel reached 27% of stake.
Q4 2026
In progress
Passkey-signed transactions
Phones sign with a passkey instead of a recovery phrase (proposal OP-42).
Tern client audit
Two independent audits before Tern may exceed 10% of stake.
Higher compute limit
From 48 M to 60 M units per block, subject to vote OP-41.
2027
Next
Light-client bridges by default
Every official bridge route verifies the other chain on-chain.
Confidential transfers
Amounts hidden, parties visible, with auditor keys for businesses.
Stateless validators
Validators verify blocks without holding full state, lowering hardware costs.
Have a say in what comes next
Anyone can open a discussion. Proposals that reach a vote are decided by stake, with results published on the governance page.
