# Roadmap & Current Status
\
\
**Q3 2025: Infrastructure & MVP Validation (CURRENT STAGE)**
* ✅ **Core Architecture:** Core Rust modular architecture has been finalized and tested.
* ✅ **Infrastructure:** Co-located, bare-metal Firedancer node has been deployed and stabilized in Frankfurt.
* ✅ **Backbone Complete:** All core services (Execution Engine, Cache, CLI) are fully implemented.
* ✅ **Geyser Integration:** Full integration with Geyser gRPC for 0-block back-running has been implemented and validated.
* ✅ **Benchmarking:** Internal signal-to-signature latency for our core engine is benchmarked at **sub-millisecond (p99)**.\
\
**Next Steps to Finalize MVP (Awaiting Shredstream Onboarding):**
* 🔲 **Jito Shredstream Integration:** To replace our Geyser connector with a Shredstream client to ingest pre-finalization data and enable front-running strategies.
* 🔲 **Secure high-throughput UUID (10+ TPS):** To secure the necessary throughput for high-frequency strategies and to counter target spam activity.\
**Q4 2025: Alpha Deployment & Optimization**
* 🔲 Deploy front-running and back-running strategies with live capital.
* 🔲 Integrate with alternative SWQoS providers (Bloxroute, 0slot) for enhanced reliability.
* 🔲 Develop custom QUIC/UDP-based TpuClient for direct non-Jito transaction submission.\
**Q1 2026: Global Expansion & Infrastructure Dominance**
* 🔲 **Cluster Expansion:** Deploy additional Firedancer nodes in key global locations for comprehensive coverage (London, Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo, Singapore).
* 🔲 **Validator Launch:** Begin the process of launching our own high-stake, Jito-enabled validator to gain ultimate execution control and participate in MEV distribution.
* 🔲 **Partner Onboarding:** Open access for the first wave of private partners.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://elite-node.gitbook.io/elite-node-docs/project/roadmap-and-current-status.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
