Roadmap

Where we are, and what comes next

MintID is at the very beginning — deliberately. The specifications are written and frozen; the first lines of chain code are what comes now. This page shows the whole build sequence honestly, including the gate that matters most: no mainnet before independent security audits.

Build sequence

Seven phases, one launch gate

Each phase builds on the previous one and ends with something testable. Dates are deliberately absent: a security-first project ships when the audits pass, not when a calendar says so.

00
Done

Specifications frozen

The three normative specifications and the full requirement set are written and locked, so every line of code that follows has a fixed target. This is where the project stands today — design done, foundation next.

01
Done

Chain foundation

Stand up the sovereign Layer-1 itself: consensus, the native token, the base modules and chain state. The first thing that runs is a real blockchain, not a demo. Done: the chain builds, runs and finalizes deterministically.

02
We are here

Issuers, council, bonds & status

Add the machinery of trust: the accepted-issuer registry, the compliance council, slashable issuer bonds and the on-chain status-root heartbeat. Implemented and under hardening: consensus-enforced bond-gated activation, 30-second heartbeats with fail-closed freshness, and the hard-capped declining emission are merged and tested; external audit gates remain before any public network.

03
Upcoming

Verifiers & online verification

Register accepted verifiers and ship the verification core — the part that checks a 10-second proof against the chain’s latest finalized state.

04
Upcoming

Anonymous credentials

Deliver the cryptographic heart: the anonymous-credential scheme and issuance core, so issuers can mint credentials that holders prove in zero knowledge.

05
Upcoming

Holder self-revocation

Implement the proof that lets anyone kill their own credential — after a lost phone, for instance — without revealing who they are or which credential it was.

06
Upcoming

Public adversarial testnet & audits

Invite the world to attack a public testnet, run independent application, cryptography, infrastructure and economic audits, and only then open mainnet. The launch gate is a precondition, not a milestone to skip.

In parallel

The agent layer rides the same sequence

Agent KYC is a single committed launch scope, not a separate ladder of promises: issuer-mediated agent credentials, self-custodied stablecoin escrow (collateral roadmap: USDC/EURC at launch → BTC → XMR, counsel-gated) and the consented disclosure rail. Its one piece of new cryptography — the proof-of-harm circuit for disputes — is launch-blocking and ships only after independent audit. Deferred ideas (a shared liability pool, an insurance backstop) stay explicitly out of scope until they earn their way in.

Adopted product tracks: zero-cost verifier packages (web widget, guest mobile flow, printed-QR mode), an MCP verification server for agent runtimes, a wallet-local identity statement reconcilable against on-chain disclosure receipts, and an x402 agent-payments integration — an identity MVP first (an agent proves it is human-backed, with its assurance grade and delegated scope, to payment facilitators and sellers), with escrow-backed coverage following once the audit gates close.

Early is the best time to join

The network needs three kinds of collaborators, and each can start a conversation today — well before mainnet.

Issuers

KYC organisations that verify people and vouch for them. You keep the customer relationship and the only private link to a person; the chain never sees your files. Early issuers help shape admission, tiers and bonding.

Start the conversation

Verifiers

Businesses that need to check a fact about a person or an AI agent — age, accreditation, a real human behind a bot — without holding their data. Early verifiers define the policies the rail must serve.

Start the conversation

Validators

Operators who run nodes and secure consensus for staking rewards. No identity work, no KYC files — just infrastructure. Early validators join the testnet first and help battle-test the network.

Start the conversation

Follow the build from day one

The whitepaper explains the destination; the specifications, available on request, define every step. If you want to issue, verify, validate — or just understand — we would like to hear from you.
