CARDSTACK’S TECHNICAL ROADMAP
CONSENSUS
ORCHESTRATION
USER EXPERIENCE
SMART CONTRACTS
INTEGRATIONS
Since shipping the MVP in time for the Cardstack Token Generation Event (TGE), our engineering team
and open-source contributors have continued onto the following phases of research and development for
each of the layers of the Cardstack architecture.
CLOUD OR DESKTOP RUNTIME FOR
DATA FUSION AND ROUTING
ON-RAMP FOR END USERS TO
ACCESS CARDSTACK CATALOG
PLUG-INS FOR CONNECTING TO
BLOCKCHAIN AND CLOUD SERVICES
TOKEN MECHANISMS FOR PAYMENT,
REWARDS, AND GOVERNANCE
CONSENSUS PROTOCOLS
UNDERLYING THE ECOSYSTEM
