Roadmap
Where Iris is now, and what comes next.
Iris is being built in four product phases, with the trust model of the attestation layer decentralizing in parallel.
-
In progress: Demo
An end-to-end round on a single machine: a minimal committee, mock Data Provider integration, and a demo IrisVerifier contract on a local devnet.
-
Planned: MVP
Real Data Provider TLS sessions inside TEEs, a foundation-operated TLSNotary, a multi-region testnet, and the first external integrators.
-
Planned: V1
A staked committee, permissionless Relayers, and mainnet deployment.
-
Planned: V1+
Further decentralization milestones beyond V1, as detailed in the protocol spec.
-
Planned: Hosted
TLSNotary's hosted service — the starting point at MVP.
-
Planned: Foundation-operated
The Iris Foundation runs the notary infrastructure directly.
-
Planned: Permissionless staked
Anyone can run a notary by staking into the network.
-
Planned: Threshold notarization
Notarization becomes fully decentralized and multi-party.
Trust in the attestation layer is a separate question from trust in the committee that assembles a panel. The two tracks decentralize on their own schedules — showing both here is a more honest picture of the network's trust assumptions than folding them into a single timeline.
Current focus is the Demo phase: getting a multi-node local network to produce a sealed panel end-to-end. This section will update as that milestone lands.
