Roadmap

From testnet beta to a network with no operator

QueraIS launches centralized-but-bounded and removes trust step by step. This is the direction of travel — sequencing is intentional, exact timing is not promised, and testnet $QAIS has no real value.

  1. LiveTestnet beta
    • Gateway, web app, and published SDKs (npm @querais/sdk, PyPI querais) all live.
    • Five core contracts on Arbitrum Sepolia; faucet, staking, and on-chain settlement working.
    • Open to early developers and node operators — bring a GPU or an API key.
  2. BuildingOpen testnet & growth
    • More nodes and models; a node leaderboard and operator incentives.
    • Deeper developer docs, examples, and framework integrations (LangChain, LlamaIndex).
    • Hardening: observability, dispute tooling, and load testing.
  3. PlannedMainnet & token
    • Real $QAIS economics on Arbitrum One; seamless migration from testnet.
    • Liquidity and exchange availability; first real settlements.
    • A mainnet-readiness security audit gates the launch.
  4. PlannedScale & decentralization
    • On-chain sealed-bid auction replaces gateway matching.
    • Standard-track arbitration panel for disputes.
    • Multi-model routing and capacity planning as first-class concerns.
  5. PlannedFull decentralization
    • P2P mesh (libp2p DHT) for discovery and job gossip — no bootstrap gateway.
    • A decentralized verification oracle replaces protocol-run infrastructure.
    • DAO governance over parameters and arbitration; the trusted gateway is gone.
