A roadmap measured by evidence.

1. Phase 1

   Internal tokenless testing

   In progress

   Prove that bounded jobs, isolated execution and independent validation work at all.

   Exit criteria

   • ·Job specification format stable enough to reuse
   • ·Packet isolation demonstrably enforced
   • ·Validation catches deliberately corrupted work
   • ·Braid records survive audit of a completed job
2. Phase 2

   Federated operation

   Not started

   Introduce approved independent workers and validators alongside company nodes.

   Exit criteria

   • ·Multi-validator agreement and challenge resolution exercised
   • ·Independent operators run nodes without privileged access
   • ·Published participation and operating specifications
   • ·Security review of coordination and validation paths
3. Phase 3

   Public tokenless testnet

   Not started

   Open participation for adversarial testing with no economic incentives attached.

   Exit criteria

   • ·Public telemetry and job explorer
   • ·Developer interfaces for job submission
   • ·Sustained adversarial testing without systemic failure
   • ·State-reset tooling and documented reset policy
4. Phase 4

   Progressive decentralization

   Not started

   Reduce central coordination under published network rules.

   Exit criteria

   • ·Coordination functions demonstrably reproducible by third parties
   • ·Independent security review completed
   • ·Legal review of network rules and any economic layer
   • ·Documented governance of protocol changes

Participation creates no right to future Scalar tokens, allocations or rewards. No token is offered, sold or distributed. Testnet state may be reset.
