Here is an overview of what is currently being worked on, plus the roadmap for the summer:
Peercoin Website
repo: GitHub - peercoin/peercoin.net: Web files for Peercoin.net
depends on: N/A
Website is currently being re-done in react.js to allow for easier upgrades and translation integrations.
ETA: 2 weeks
Perpera Web Client
repo: GitHub - peercoin/perpera-web: A web client for Perpera data-audit protocol.
rfc: peerassets-rfcs/0009-data-audit.md at master · PeerAssets/peerassets-rfcs · GitHub
depends on: N/A
Perpera is document audit protocol loosely based on the PeerAsset protocol. It allows for document notarization, document ownership transfers and querying of the revision history. It combines the immutability of a public blockchain and some elements of the git protocol. The web client is a simple to use frontend intended for mainstream use.
ETA: 1 week
Peercoin Client v0.8
repo: GitHub - peercoin/peercoin: Reference implementation of the Peercoin protocol.
depends on: N/A
As you may already know, v0.8 is a major milestone in our protocol development. Arguably it’s the most important release since v0.1, which introduced the first viable Proof-of-Stake blockchain system to the world. v0.8 is based upon bitcoin-core v0.16 and brings our codebase up to speed with recent Bitcoin developments which includes segwit and sets the stage for Lightning Network integration.
Other notable changes are the removal of the transaction timestamp, which makes Peercoin transactions compatible with Bitcoin transactions and will allow easier integration with various Bitcoin tooling. Another important change is removal of the block signature for PoW blocks, which makes PoW fully compatible with Bitcoin mining and will ease the mining process for interested miners, making the process more efficient. This is being done to increase the number of active miners by making the process of shifting between various sha256 networks easier.
ETA: 2 months
Insight API Port
Insight API is a core piece of the Bitpay architecture, which includes advanced block explorer, merchant/payment integration, copay mobile wallet and other useful tools.
ETA: summer 2019
Trezor hardware Wallet Integration
depends on: Insight API port
Trezor is a popular hardware wallet platform, arguably the second most popular after Ledger Nano. Ledger Nano integration exists for Peercoin since early 2017, however support for Trezor was never requested by the Peercoin community members so developers did not pay much attention to it.
However Trezor integration is arguably easier than Ledger Nano integration, and it’s only a short way from Insight API port to full Trezor integration.
ETA: summer 2019
Lightning Network Integration
depends on: v0.8 release
I would guess that Lightning Network does not need special introductions. The work on this will begin as soon as v0.8 is stabilized and put to production.
ETA: late summer, 2019
Bug Bounty Program
Implementation of a bug bounty program is being set forth with a goal to encourage the community to participate with the testing of our tech stack.
ETA: 2 weeks
Exchange Listings / Liquidity
The Foundation is actively working on new exchange listings and the increase of on-exchange liquidity for the Peercoin markets.
ETA: N/A
