Thanks for calling this out @Akita. We’ve been so busy doing that we’ve under communicated where we’re headed. There’s a ton of work in progress across the ecosystem on these roadmap proposals to summarize, and also some new areas (like NFTs!) that are exploding and bringing a ton of new opportunities. Will work on prioritizing the 2021 blog post (and update to the roadmap repo) ASAP to communicate that.
TLDR for the meantime is:
- Big focus on IPFS story, usability, and data addressing and persistence (with a focus on NFTs and other small, public, static data). Goal is to really double down on the golden path here to make things work seamlessly end to end.
- Active work on IPLD codec composability (bringing the new go-ipld-prime into go-ipfs!)
- Active research development work on scalable content routing solutions (thinking beyond DHTs)
- Some work on: increased blockstore scalability (starting this prototyping inside lotus), Fast/Scalable publishing, IPFS Gateway tooling around content filtering, lots of research into general composability (starting with the js world), and slow but steady inroads with mainstream browser integration (with recent launches from Brave, Opera, and discussions with others).
Also lots of opportunity for many of the roadmap proposals to be backed by community grants. I know PL has already funded a few, and other ecosystem funds around Filecoin are also looking for proposals. Will summarize the current list with open grants/RFPs across sources in that blog post too!
