ChainCatcher news, the centralized data availability network Celestia has announced its technical roadmap, with the core goal of expanding the block size to 1GB, significantly enhancing data throughput. Since the launch of the Celestia mainnet Beta version last year, 20 rollups have been deployed, with Celestia blobs accounting for 40% of the total published data.The new roadmap is divided into three main workflows: rich block space, verifiable block space, and frictionless block space.Celestia plans to achieve 1GB blocks by optimizing the consensus network and improving the data availability network, which will enable Celestia to support multiple payment networks of Visa scale running in parallel. Additionally, Celestia is committed to enabling light nodes to run in web browsers, ensuring that anyone can verify applications on any device. The roadmap also includes improvements to the rollup developer experience and cross-chain asset transfers. The Celestia community drives all updates and initiatives through the Celestia Improvement Proposal (CIP) process, with 24 CIPs currently drafted or proposed.

ChainCatcher message, released by Nuffle Labs, an independent entity spun off from the NEAR Foundation, has published a technical roadmap. Nuffle Labs will focus on providing modular infrastructure for other projects in the last two quarters of 2024.The specific roadmap includes: the launch of the NEAR Fast Finality Layer NFFL mainnet at the beginning of the third quarter; the development of cross-chain interaction NFFL applications in the third quarter; NEAR DA stateless validation will reduce NEAR validator hardware requirements in the third quarter; Chain Signatures will be launched on the mainnet in the third quarter. Chain Signatures is a new protocol utilizing MPC technology that allows NEAR accounts to send transactions to any ECDSA chain.According to data from the crypto platform RootData, Nuffle Labs announced the completion of a $13 million strategic financing round in June, led by Electric Capital. Nuffle Labs has built the NEAR Data Availability Layer (NEAR DA), the NEAR Fast Finality Layer (NFFL), and other products in the NEAR modular product suite.

ChainCatcher News: The Japanese gaming public blockchain Oasys has announced its technical roadmap, which aims to develop and expand the overall ecosystem through "application data availability."Oasys will promote collaboration with ecosystem partners to standardize gaming assets and create actual gaming use cases based on this; it will provide the Oasys Verse Developer Kit (Oasys VDK) to reduce developers' resource and time costs.In addition, Oasys has set a mid-term plan for the next two to three years, which includes addressing protocol layer issues, developing standardized protocols to achieve interoperability, and providing more developer tools.

ChainCatcher news, BTC Beta CTO Graeme Olson announced at the Token2049 conference in Dubai on April 18 that the BRC202 protocol, which supports paid inscriptions and is highly compatible with the BRC20 and Runes protocols, will be launched in May, and a Bitcoin ecosystem LaunchPad based on the BRC202 protocol will be seamlessly launched in June.

ChainCatcher news, the Algorand development team will release the Algorand technical roadmap on January 17, which will cover the consensus incentive program, AlgoKit V2, the production version of Python, and network speed improvements.

ChainCatcher news, BNB Chain has released the BNB Greenfield technical roadmap, aimed at improving performance, enhancing the developer experience, and expanding multi-chain capabilities.The roadmap is primarily based on three key principles: high performance, simplified developer experience, and multi-chain platform, including:Increasing SP upload and download speeds by 5 times, from 2MB/s to 10MB/s and from 20MB/s to 100MB/s; compatibility with popular Web2 and Web3 standards to simplify the developer experience; introducing rich storage features, including resource tagging, indexing, simplified data migration, and atomic updates of objects; providing robust infrastructure through a multi-chain platform for full-chain or decentralized applications (dApps), achieving cross-chain programmability with opBNB and EVM-compatible chains; Greenfield will also be positioned as the foundational data availability (DA) layer for the opBNB and NB Smart Chain ecosystems.Greenfield will also address challenges related to artificial intelligence (AI), including ownership, transparency, and innovation, by integrating it with Web3 on the BNB Chain. Additionally, Greenfield will enable smart contracts as resource owners between Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 to better control permissions on BSC/opBNB.

ChainCatcher news, the public chain project PlugChain announced its direction and technical roadmap for the implementation of its oracle, focusing on the landing of technologies such as oracle, on-chain AI, big data, and the Internet of Things. The PlugChain team will build the basic components of the PlugChain oracle from the first to the third quarter of 2023, and complete the implementation of the PlugChain oracle protocol in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, PlugChain plans to improve the oracle node network in the first and second quarters of 2024, and plans to integrate IoT data in the third and fourth quarters, officially connecting to IoT scenarios.It is reported that PlugChain states its Web3 public chain features high concurrency, easy scalability, and high security. By constructing an aggregated cross-chain oracle protocol and embedding an on-chain AI system, it aims to create intelligent application scenarios for high-performance information data interaction.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, BNB Chain's Growth Director Alvin Kan announced its technical roadmap, stating that the overall goal for 2023 is the new L2 infrastructure zkBNB and the EVM compatibility and mainnet launch of BNB Greenfield (blockchain-based Web3 infrastructure).As part of the 2023 roadmap, BNB Chain indicated that its goal is to increase the number of validators from 29 to over 100. The blockchain plans to raise its throughput from a 140 million gas limit and 2200 TPS to a 300 million gas limit and 5000 TPS. (source link)

Chain Catcher news, the Ethereum fork project ETHF officially disclosed its technical roadmap. It is reported that ETHF is a forked public chain that occurred when ETH transitioned to PoS, retaining the PoW consensus while also preserving all of ETH's ecosystem and users. Currently, ETHF has activated over 2.3 million users. Its technical roadmap indicates that ETHF will focus on solving the scalability dilemma of public chains. ETHF believes that decentralization is the soul of blockchain, security is the core of blockchain, and on-chain applications are the main development direction for the next step. ETHF's core technology will ensure the security of on-chain assets, on-chain data, and on-chain programs.
