04. Roadmap

Current · 2026 Live on Testnet

Triple-Consensus Engine

scrypt PoW, Proof-of-History, Federated Proof-of-Stake—running on testnet. Core node built from scratch in Rust. ~2,000 users. Multiple security audit rounds completed (B+ grade).

Current · 2026 Live on Testnet

DeFi Infrastructure

Native DEX with AMM swap pools. Launchpad bonding curves for fair token launches. Xeris Wallet—Chrome extension & iOS app. Wrap/Unwrap XRS for DEX trading.

Current · 2026 Live on Testnet

Alexandria Protocol

Real-world asset tokenization. Ricardian smart contracts linking on-chain tokens to enforceable legal documents. Jurisdiction tagging, accredited-investor gates, transfer restrictions.

Current · 2026 Live on Testnet

AI Agent Framework

On-chain AI agents with delegated authority, spending limits, and kill switches. Agent registration, per-transaction and daily limits, contract whitelists, expiration, revocation.

Current · 2026 Live on Testnet

Post-Quantum & Zero-Knowledge

Post-quantum cryptography key registry deployed to testnet—future-proofing against quantum attacks. Zero-knowledge proof verification on-chain for privacy-preserving computations.

Next In Progress

Mainnet Genesis

Preparing for mainnet launch. New keypair generated. Emission schedule finalized—10 XRS/block, halving every 25M blocks (~3.17 years). Fresh ledger, fresh start. Genesis block embeds the founder’s message on-chain.

Post-Launch · 2026

On-Chain Governance

Proposal and voting system. Token-weighted governance for protocol upgrades. Transparent on-chain decision-making by the community.

Future

Enterprise & Interoperability

Enterprise integrations. Cross-chain liquidity when demand warrants it—on Xeris’s terms. Exchange listings. Multi-chain settlement. XerisCoin as the tokenization layer for real-world assets.

The Long Horizon

100+ Years of Mining

The emission curve ensures mining rewards persist for over a century. Combined with transaction fees, the XerisCoin network is economically sustainable—forever.

05. Verification

Independent Verification

1. merkle_root = SHA-256(genesis_message)

2. input = utf8(“0” + proposer) + poh_seed + bigEndian64(nonce=3) + merkle_root

3. scrypt(input, salt=“”, N=1024, r=1, p=1) must equal the block hash

4. First byte of hash (0x18) must be ≤ 0x1f
