Three phases,each complete on its ownterms.
Each phase ships a complete product, not a waypoint that only works when finished. Phase 1 is the realm. Phase 2 deepens it. Phase 3 makes it native.
A roadmap that says yes to everything is not a roadmap. Each phase has a definition of “done,” and each definition requires the entire phase, not most of it.
Foundation
All nine components in production. Public mainnet running with a real validator cohort. SDK, Wallet, and Scan usable by external builders. Federation v1 supports inter-system access. The realm is operationally a place, not a project.
Foundation in build
- Architecture lock complete
- Sigil and Witness in active build
- Substrate decision committed
Application tier build
- Synod, Vigil, and Commons move design → build
- Foundation tier reaches first internal release
- SDK takes its earliest usable shape
SDK alpha and lifecycle
- Nexa and Charter advance to working build
- SDK reaches alpha for early-access builders
- Wallet and Scan take first integrated form
Public testnet
- SDK beta; public testnet live
- First full component set on testnet
- Partner pilots begin; Charter v1 utility tokens validating
Phase 1 mainnet
- Mainnet launch; all nine components in production
- Public SDK release
- Federation v1 online
Stabilization
- Mainnet stabilization; validator cohort expansion
- Phase 2 component foundations enter design
- Phase 1 reaches steady-state operation
Enterprise depth
Enterprise compliance
KYC/AML-compatible Sigil tiers. Regulatory reporting hooks. Institutional-grade onboarding with compliance-level attestation.
Digital twins
On-chain representations of physical systems. Real-world asset state tracked through Witness. Physical infrastructure participates in the realm.
Charter v2
Full tokenization model: regulated securities where jurisdiction permits, utility tokens with lifecycle management, and fractional asset infrastructure.
Marketplace primitives
Charter-based marketplace support. Xyress does not run a marketplace. These are the primitives that marketplace operators build on top of.
Native substrate
Native substrate
The chain Xyress was always designed for. Custom cryptographic primitives, AI-native consensus operations, and governance designed from first principles.
AI in consensus
AI participates in consensus operations under bounded authority. Behavior attributed, ranked, and governed, consistent with how every AI actor in the realm works.
Full co-equality
Phase 1 is co-equal at the product surface. Phase 3 is co-equal in the substrate itself, the moment where the architectural commitment becomes the chain.
Long horizon
Phase 3 is deliberately positioned at the long horizon. What it will look like in detail depends on what Phase 1 and Phase 2 teach. The direction is fixed; the precise form is not.
What’s not on this roadmap.
A Xyress-operated marketplace for Charter-issued tokens.
A foundation-model training operation or competing AI research track.
An enterprise infrastructure product that abandons the realm architecture for faster enterprise adoption.
A governance token or speculative instrument before the platform has proven its utility.
Pivots to adjacent categories that would dilute the identity, trust, and AI co-equality thesis.
