Dev WG · Fund & steward the Xi’an protocol upgrade & Radix Engine

Protocol upgrades (the Xi’an line of work) and Radix Engine maintenance previously sat with Foundation-funded teams. The DAO must decide how it funds and directs continued core-protocol R&D so the roadmap does not stall during the handover.

Deliverables

• Identify the teams/contributors who will carry Xi’an and Radix Engine work.
• Scope and budget continued protocol development via RFP.
• Define acceptance/verification for protocol releases (see dry-run upgrades).

Dependencies & cross-references

• Governed by Daffy's Radix DAO framework (repo Shadaffy/radix-dao); see the Governance Framework Reference Repo and Charter (Round 1).
• Prioritized under the product roadmap.
• Released safely via the dry-run upgrade process.
