The timeline above is short. It focuses on the essentials, as the entire team works towards decentralization for the foundation layer and important features for the application layer. After these features are complete, we will stay flexible, reviewing market trends, collecting user feedback, and planning the next stage of development.
The stages to follow will continue to prioritize decentralization – once technical decentralization has been achieved to a significant level, we will move our attention to the governmental. We hope to have your feedback and support then, so we can collectively determine what the future of Incognito will look like.
In the meantime, please follow development via the proposals linked above, and feel free to reach out to any member of the core team should you have any questions. We’re excited to show you what we’re working on.
