Roadmap & Current Status

Engineering the Edge.

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.
