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.
