Roadmap

REAX moves through explicit gates. Each stage opens only when the previous gate's evidence exists, and nothing on this page is a date commitment.

Stages

1. Design Revision 0.6, provisional

   Specification of protocol, tiers, scoring and chain adapter. Freeze (G0) needs two independent critical reviews of the exact text with no open high or critical finding, the S1–S4 simulations passing, and the reference performance measurements M1 and M2.

2. Local harness Loopback runs G1 closed

   Today: three simulated miners, one validator, synthetic traffic, signed HTTP, no chain. G1 additionally requires a disposable local Subtensor, at least three synthetic miners across both tiers, every acceptance vector passing, canonical JSON, and measured reference latency and gateway headroom.

3. Testnet G3 closed

   Official test network, test TAO only, ephemeral keys, chain profile from readback. Weights only for REAX-owned hotkeys until capacity measurement is active. Preceded by adversarial simulation (G2). See the testnet guide.

4. System1 staging G4 closed

   Synthetic staging traffic through the System1 preview contract, with the System1 owner's consent.

5. Real traffic G5 closed

   Requires a signed acceptance record from the System1 owner, legal review, DPA and subprocessor workflow, and the organic identity shadow enabled. This decision sits outside REAX's authority.

6. Mainnet G6 closed

   Requires active capacity measurement, passed capacity simulations, a current cost readback, a named coldkey, resolved ownership questions and explicit approval. No mainnet registration happens without that approval.

7. Decentralized global tier Intended · G5 gates

   Intended: permissionless miners may later serve accepted global traffic for System1 Models, only once the G5 acceptance gates pass: signed System1 acceptance, legal review, sampled re-execution (the organic identity shadow) on, and capacity measurement live. Until then the permissionless route carries synthetic traffic only.

8. Finetuning service & miner competition Planned · new spec version

   Planned: a finetuning service that produces custom fine-tuned decision models, with miners competing to produce better fine-tuned models. Not yet specified; it needs a new major version of the specification (the v1 catalog is closed).

Near-term engineering

Work named in spec 0.6 before the local harness gate can close:

• Protocol v2 bodies: grant-bound data class, signed caller registry, allow-list projection, manifest-bound miner responses.
• Admission snapshot v3, the cumulative revocation feed, trust root and checkpoint.
• Gateway: weighted-random routing without score input, claim state machine, Ed25519 receipts, burst controller and joint dispatch Merkle root.
• Validator: fixed alpha split, catalog tool with power admission, per-configuration tolerances, verified capacity, linked-group clamp.
• Capacity prober, identity generators, labelled pool, reference processor and simulator.
• Chain adapter checks on a local Subtensor at a pinned commit; isolated image decoding in the serving image.
