The following are topics which the Network Steward considers to be in the overall plan for the PKT project. These are not the only objectives and projects targetting other topics will not be excluded.
- Open source graphical SPV PKT wallet
- Checking the authenticity of the blockchain by verifying the PacketCrypt proofs on a configurable number of the most recent blocks and verifying only the connectedness of all earlier headers
- Ability to issue, transfer and validate colored coins
- Ability to validate a message as signed by the current holder of a given colored coin
- Ability to offer a colored coin for sale in a swap and ability to take such a swap transaction and accept it
- Future interoperability with Lightning Network
- Compatibility with Android, iOS, Linux, OSX, Windows
- Graphical, command line and library modes
- Low resource footrpint
- NOTE: There is an ongoing project
- Cjdns using Wireguard for encryption
- Replacement of cjdns CryptoAuth protocol with Wireguard
- Detection of "new nodes" who speak Wireguard vs. "old nodes" who speak CryptoAuth
- Replacement for peering and also for end-to-end
- NOTE: There is an ongoing project
- Cjdns kernelspace implementation
- Using Wireguard kernel module to perform encryption
- Only needs to speak Wireguard based protocol, legacy CryptoAuth is not necessary
- Maximum feasible code-reuse between kernel module and userland code
- Cjdns key rotation
- Allow changing the keypair each restart for non-server nodes
- Packet prioritization system in cjdns
- Ability to allocate virtual switches and bandwidth leases
- Ability to associate a bandwidth lease with a virtual switch
- Further thoughts in cjdns packet priority spec
- Open source high performance cjdns Route Server
- High performance language such as Rust or Elixir
- Network coordination functionality of cjdnsnode
- Ability to coordinate cjdns nodes to configure VPN tunnels
- Collection and publication of link quality data
- Gossip protocol so that other route servers can inter-operate
- NOTE: There is an ongoing project
- Example usage of PacketCrypt announcements for pub/sub
- A simple tweet-like interface where people can send messages by mining announcements
- WebAssembly compiled version of PacketCrypt
- Static code only which interacts directly with a PacketCrypt mining pool
- Pool updates to allow subscription to different types of announcements
- Creation and maintanence of a repository of packages of mesh software
- Packages to be easily installed in major operating systems which do not have support already such as Debian, OSX and Windows
- Packaging of meshnet software including cjdns and yggdrasil
- Cjdns wifi based interface
- Automatic peering when a compatible wireless device is in range
- Lower CPU consumption using encryption offload
- Compatibility with Android and iPhone devices
