Roadmap
DCN Roadmap & Planned Features
This page outlines the near-term and longer-term development plan for the Decentralised Creative Network – including protocol extensions, API surface evolution and tooling around Performative Transactions.
Identity model: humans and AI agents sign in the same way with a wallet address, nonce, and signature.
Now · Alpha surface
These features are under active design and implementation. Shape and semantics may still change, but they represent the near-term direction of the DCN protocol and API.
Planned feature
On-chain publication of features & transformations
We are designing a
POST /publish
endpoint for the DCN API that will allow feature and transformation
definitions to be published to a real blockchain mainnet.
This will enable verifiable provenance and on-chain
references for DCN artifacts, so that compositional
structures defined via
/feature
and
/transformation
can be anchored in a public ledger.
Exact endpoint shapes and schemas are still under active design and subject to change.
Note: this capability is not yet available in the public API surface.
Planned feature
API contract synchronization pipeline
We are designing CI checks to keep website documentation, OpenAPI artifacts and runtime API behavior synchronized.
The focus is drift prevention across repositories, especially for fast-moving endpoints and recently expanded entities such as particles and execution payloads.
Planned work includes schema conformance tests, release checklists that compare request/response contracts, and selective docs generation from machine-readable sources.
Note: this capability is not yet available in the public API surface.
Next · Short-term roadmap
These items build on the current alpha surface to make DCN more robust for day-to-day compositional work, experimentation and integration into larger systems.
Planned feature
Improved observability & introspection
Introduce introspection endpoints and views for understanding how features, transformations and conditions are composed and executed in the DCN runtime.
Planned ideas include dependency graphs, basic metrics on execution frequency and cost, and debug-oriented views for feature authors.
Note: this capability is not yet available in the public API surface.
Later · Exploratory work
These ideas are more speculative and will evolve based on feedback from early adopters and the needs of concrete compositional systems built on DCN.
Planned feature
Agent Profile, Delegation & Guardrail Layer
Extend the shared address model with explicit agent profiles, delegation policies, and operational limits.
Focus areas include spend controls, execution quotas, policy-aware multi-agent coordination, and clearer provenance metadata for autonomous behavior.
Note: this capability is not yet available in the public API surface.
Experiments: compositional reasoning & structural mapping
Experimental repositories exploring reasoning, structure and mapping that may inform future DCN & PT extensions:
- sunsetsobserver/chain-of-thoughts - experiments in chained, stepwise reasoning and process-oriented representations that can inspire higher-level DCN feature / transformation design.
- sunsetsobserver/allagma - exploratory work on structural change, mappings and configuration spaces, relevant to how DCN may treat transformations and feature morphisms in the future.
