Roadmap

AFHE development follows a phased approach: build the foundation, prove it works, then scale to production. Each phase has clear deliverables and success metrics.

Phase 1: Foundation (Q1-Q2 2025)

Core Development

• ✅ LUT-based FHE implementation

• ✅ MQ-hardness security proofs

• ✅ Basic coprocessor architecture

• ✅ Initial benchmarking suite

Security

• ✅ Internal security review

• 🔄 First external audit (Trail of Bits)

• 🔄 Formal verification of core primitives

Documentation

• ✅ Technical whitepaper

• ✅ API documentation

• 🔄 Developer guides

Status: 85% Complete

Phase 2: Testnet (Q3-Q4 2025)

Network Launch

• 🔄 Public testnet deployment

• 🔄 Coprocessor node software release

• ⬚ Testnet faucet and explorer

Integrations

• 🔄 Ethereum testnet integration

• ⬚ First DeFi protocol integration

• ⬚ SDK release (JavaScript, Python, Rust)

Security

• ⬚ Second external audit (OpenZeppelin)

• ⬚ Bug bounty program launch

• ⬚ Penetration testing

Community

• ⬚ Developer documentation portal

• ⬚ Testnet incentive program

• ⬚ First hackathon

Status: 30% Complete

Phase 3: Mainnet (Q1-Q2 2026)

Launch

• ⬚ Mainnet genesis

• ⬚ Token generation event

• ⬚ Initial coprocessor network

Ecosystem

• ⬚ DEX listing

• ⬚ First production applications

• ⬚ Enterprise pilot programs

Governance

• ⬚ DAO launch

• ⬚ veAFHE staking live

• ⬚ First governance proposals

Target: Q1 2026

Phase 4: Scale (Q3 2026+)

Performance

• ⬚ 10x performance improvement

• ⬚ GPU acceleration support

• ⬚ Hardware optimization partnerships

Adoption

• ⬚ 100+ integrated applications

• ⬚ Enterprise deployments

• ⬚ Cross-chain expansion

Research

• ⬚ Next-generation FHE schemes

• ⬚ Academic partnerships

• ⬚ Open source contributions

Target: Ongoing

Phase 5: Native L1 Blockchain (2027+)

Building on coprocessor success and ecosystem traction, AFHE will launch a native Layer 1 blockchain—the sovereign home for privacy-first applications.

L1 Architecture

• ⬚ Native FHE transaction support at consensus level

• ⬚ UTXO model with encrypted transactions (eTx)

• ⬚ PoW consensus for maximum security and decentralization

• ⬚ Seamless bridge from coprocessor to L1

Network Features

• ⬚ Default ciphertext transactions (amounts never visible on-chain)

• ⬚ Encrypted address system (same address = different on-chain representation each time)

• ⬚ Ciphertext signature verification

• ⬚ Sub-second encrypted transaction verification (~0.1s)

Strategic Vision

• ⬚ Coprocessor continues serving other chains (Ethereum, Solana, etc.)

• ⬚ L1 becomes the native home for privacy-critical applications

• ⬚ Full sovereignty over privacy infrastructure

• ⬚ Enterprise-grade compliance features

Target: 2027+

The coprocessor model proves demand and builds the ecosystem; the L1 provides the sovereign home for privacy-native applications.

Development Philosophy

Ship Early, Iterate Often

• Regular testnet releases

• Community feedback integration

• Rapid iteration cycles

Security First

• No mainnet without multiple audits

• Gradual rollout with limits

• Bug bounties before launch

Open Development

• Public GitHub repositories

• Transparent roadmap updates

• Community involvement in priorities
