Zero Knowledge Proof Roadmap (2022 – 2029)

Ensure Legal Compliance: Complete initial legal framework around data privacy (GDPR, CCPA) with specialized counsel.

Assemble Core Team: Recruit a 40-member team focusing on ZKP cryptographers, blockchain developers, and AI researchers.

Launch Community Building: Launch community channels with focus on general crypto and AI audiences.

Establish Technical Advisory Board: Recruit 3 advisors with expertise in cryptography, distributed systems, and AI.

Establish Architecture Design: Create technical specifications for hybrid consensus model combining PoI and PoSp with Substrate's BABE+GRANDPA consensus framework

Develop Custom Substrate Pallets: Design pallet architecture for PoI and PoSp integration with native Substrate runtime

Begin ZKP Circuit Design: Develop initial specialized circuits for basic matrix operations (up to 50×50) supporting modular AI workloads

Initial ZKP Implementation: Initiate Integration of zk-SNARKs for basic on-chain verification targeting 200,000 gas equivalent weight cost through both EVM pallet and native Substrate verification

Develop Proof Pod Specifications: Finalize hardware requirements and software stack for Proof Pod devices integrated with Substrate's off-chain workers

Create Developer Documentation: Initial technical documentation for pallet APIs and Substrate integration guides

Whitepaper Publication: Release comprehensive technical paper detailing Substrate-based cryptographic foundations and security models

Plan Community Building: Prepare Twitter, Discord and Telegram launch strategy.
