Good evening everyone 👋
This week we want to talk about the future, and more specifically, our roadmap to it.
But before we do so, let’s take a quick look at the last couple of years...
In 2021 we made significant progress towards our goals, delivering a number of milestones, features and improvements. These included the migration of devices to the Mainnet, the introduction of Host V2, Gateway V2 and Stargate V2, as well as the launch of a Public Testnet for Network V2.
We also introduced on-chain staking, a command-line interface for staking, and processed payouts for the year. Other important updates included the opening of the Bridge and a Uniswap listing, the delivery of the XE blockchain explorer, and improvements to the explorer wallet view. The Console was mothballed, and the project launched a new Web Wallet.
In 2022 we continued to push forward, delivering even more milestones. The team delivered community open governance, and published the first governance proposal ratifying the system. We integrated the Node Explorer with XE Explorer, along with a whole list of other improvements.
Additionally, Edge Server and Edge DNS became generally available, along with the XE-based account system, with PAYG payments in FIAT and XE. We migrated DNS customers to Edge Network V2 and began migrating CDN and Server customers over to the new system.
The team also delivered Stargate/Gateway (v2) usage metrics (as part of the billing & earnings systems), automatic daily earnings, the Edge Server public beta, an XE iOS wallet, basic video streaming support in CDN, and Edge CDN (v2) general availability. Many other smaller updates were delivered across the year as well. For a full round up see the 2022 TLDR post here: https://edge.network/en/updates/network/2022-tldr
At the close of 2022 we completed our first five year strategic roadmap. We’ve talked about this before, so if you missed it you can scroll up or check out the updates section on the website. We’ve also talked about the next five year strategic roadmap: the opening up of XE & Edge to community projects, the integration with XE into third party products, and an expansion of the core services in both refinement and functionality. We’re excited for the years ahead, and today we’ve released an update to the roadmap covering 2023.
