Roadmap

Why Direct Spend Is The Base Path

Direct spend is the protocol-first base path for self-sovereign confidential transfer semantics on BCH L1.

Current status:

• bounded two-input proof-aligned milestone is materially complete
• live first-hop and follow-on validations are demonstrated

What Direct Spend Still Leaves Public

• transaction graph and topology
• shell carrier values
• fee values
• repeated update linkage

Interim Compromise

• transparent supplemental economics support remains current practical path when reserve is insufficient
• repeated no-top-up continuation is not yet the sustained normal path

Why Aggregation Is Later And Optional

Aggregation is future service-layer composition for observability reduction, not part of the direct-spend trust base.

Direct-spend publication should remain truthful without depending on an aggregator implementation.

Next Publication Tasks

1. keep protocol/runtime/wallet boundary docs synchronized with code
2. keep claim boundary precise and non-inflated
3. classify remaining public observables explicitly
4. frame aggregator work as later optional observability reduction
